The Library has particularly strong holdings in the literature of collecting and the book trade, including book catalogues of all types: printed and manuscript inventories of private libraries, catalogues of antiquarian booksellers, and book auction sales. The Grolier’s historical collections of book catalogues are among the most comprehensive in the US, and these, along with the papers of important bibliophiles, bibliographers, book designers, and antiquarian book dealers, have long been recognized as a major resource for collectors, and for scholars in book history. As part of a larger Club initiative, the Library is expanding its engagement with the rapidly growing body of digitized scholarship relating to the art and history of the book. The successful candidate will play a leading role in that initiative, and should demonstrate commitment to, and experience with, the use of technology to enhance Library processes, and to improve user access to its print and digital collections.
