Pre-roadtrip planning
Before I head out to MSU, I DO need to organize myself. I'd forgotten what a PITA Special Collections can be to access. BUT, I've spent enough time studying rare manuscripts in the SCA to understand that caution. I need to:
1. Study the ephemera collection catalogue online and make a list of materials I'd like to see.
2. Cross reference that material against googlebooks and other sources to make sure I don't waste my time with materials that are already available online in their entirety.
3. Find the #@*&$^ Digital Camera, as their may be pieces that I will be allowed to photograph.
4. See if there are online request forms that I can fill out and take with me, as my time there will be pretty limited.
