Rossman's gift to the field is in articulating the 'Aspects of Access', grounding each aspect in historical context, then liberating each from any inevitable role or outcome. This is a clear and discerning voice, offering a constellation of access points to Special Collections as an enterprise. Rossman has reset the concept of Access to allow for a 21st century consideration., "Rossman's gift to the field is in articulating the 'Aspects of Access', grounding each aspect in historical context, then liberating each from any inevitable role or outcome.

Synopsis
This book provides a thorough exploration of a topic that is a cornerstone of the library profession: access. It looks closely at access in academic library special collections settings through the lens of what practitioners have to say via interviews and the literature., Access is a cornerstone of the library profession. This book looks at how perceptions of access to special collections have changed from the 1930s to today. Since the early 20th century, American academic libraries have collected and championed rare and unique non-circulating materials now referred to as special collections. Because of the rarity and value of these materials, they are handled differently than materials in other parts of academic library collections. Thus, a different set of access policies and procedures, as well as specialized staff, have been employed. Using a grounded theory approach on datasets comprised of LIS literature and interviews of special collections professionals with between 5 and 50 years of experience, two conceptual models developed. The two conceptual models are: · Aspects of Access, which defines ten components that contribute to access goals: Diversity, Documentation, Engagement, Preservation, Protection, Provision, Readers, Spaces, Stewardship, and Technology. A historical overview sets the stage for in-depth discussion of each aspect. · Gatekeeping Model of Access , which applies gatekeeping theory to chart how the Aspects of Access support or hinder the connection of readers to collection materials. An exploration of access through the lens of special collections is especially meaningful because of the tension between the principles of preservation and access within the special collections community. This project is also significant as the library profession explores how representation of diversity within collections and the profession impacts readers. Exploring how we think about access should be part of these ongoing conversations., Access is a cornerstone of the library profession.
