ExLibris is a news and discussion group, presently unmoderated, using ListProcessor technology. ExLibris provides an environment for discussing matters related to rare book and manuscript librarianship, including special collections and related issues.
Membership is open to anyone who wishes to subscribe.
All messages posted to Exlibris are the product of the person or persons posting them. ExLibris has something of a sister list named RBMS, which is also hosted at Berkeley. The RBMS list is intended for discussing and conducting business of the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries. It is expected that any matters pertaining to RBMS will be posted to the RBMS list rather than to ExLibris. The addresses show full domain names.
