Conversing with John Pollock, Public Services Specialist at the University of Pennsylvania's Rare Book and Manuscript Library, who works with David McKnight, mentioned that this is a time of great change for History of the Book scholars, libraries, and universities like Penn. "Online reading takes on more meaning when you can actually see the physical materials that are the basis of those online texts. More teaching can happen when these rare books and manuscripts can be viewed, and, in fact, how these texts were written, published, and disseminated during their own time affects how we perceive them today." I had not ever thought about that.
