» Celebrating Research: Rare and Special Collections from the Membership of the Association of Research Libraries

has recently been published by the ARL in book and Web site format and is freely available on the Web at http://www.celebratingresearch.org/. Celebrating Research includes 118 collection profiles, each from a different ARL member library. Each profile is illustrated with color photographs and tells a story of a single collection, recounting how the resources were acquired and developed. Georgetown's Russell J. Bowen Collection on Intelligence is featured in the publication.

The compilation is rich with examples of how research libraries are engaging different communities to deliver library services and encourage the use of such distinctive collections. The volume is the result of a collaborative effort among ARL member libraries on the occasion of the Association’s 75th anniversary.
