Malkin Lecture in Bibliography on “The Future of Rare Book Libraries” at the School of Library Service (SLS) ,Columbia University.” (In assessing this honor, bear in mind that I am the person principally responsible for selecting Malkin Lecturers.) The Book Arts Press published the first six Malkin Lectures as separate pamphlets, most of them elegantly designed and printed by the Stinehour Press-but not mine: The Trustees of Columbia University closed their SLS at the end of the 1991-92 academic year; on the day I gave the Malkin Lecture, I contented myself by putting its text onto ExLibris, the (then new) electronic bulletin board, and I moved on to deal with other matters. There has been some continuing interest in the lecture in the dozen years since it was first given. In 2002, I reprised it at UCLA and at Rare Book School in Charlottesville, with commentary-with the result that I am now receiving requests for both lecture and comm...

Since I was at the time almost entirely innocent of any knowledge of rare book librarianship, my need for information was great. I found myself taking to the road to inform myself by personal observation. In recent years, I have continued to spend . . .

Literary texts in an electronic age: …, 1994

We were concerned at this conference not merely with literary texts, but with texts of all sorts: the prosaic in addition to the poetical, the technical as well as the belles-lettristic, the non-authored book next to the monograph. Our investigations of texts in an electronic age are as relevant to the study of history as to the study of literature: indeed, relevant across a very broad range not only of the humanities but of all prose-based endeavors. These are the principal themes of this conference, as I understand them: First, and on a global level, there is consensus among the speakers that we are on the verge of momentous changes in the way we view and use texts both individually and institutionally, and that the scale of these changes is so great as to be cataclysmic, even apocalyptical. The speakers are aware that the history of humankind is the history of change, but I sense widespread agreement among them that the changes in store for us as regards texts in an electronic age are especially cataclysmic, and particularly apocalyptical. Second, and on a more particular level, we have been concerned here with standards not so much with standards of excellence as with 187

In the section of Acknowledg ments I mention these sources by name, but here I should like to express my deep sense of gratitude to those who helped to finance my undertaking. During the past ten years Wabash College has been most generous in supporting my project in its various phases. I am also greatly indebted to grants from the American Council of Learned Societies, the American Philosophical Society, and the Social Science Research Council. May I also take this opportunity to mention a few of the many indi viduals who have sustained me throughout the past decade with advice and encouragement: Mr Simon Nowell-Smith of Oxford; Mr Ronald E.
