Abstract
Being a rare book librarian involves a wide range of tasks. You might spend one moment deciphering a Latin inscription from the fifteenth century, and the next, dusting display cases, presenting a research paper at a conference, or explaining to a child what half a century means. In between, you also face the challenge of dealing with the legal and regulatory complexities of acquiring rare books from abroad.
