It\u2019s cold, high, sustainable, and purpose-built. It\u2019s digital, globalized, aggregated, and
\ncollaborative. It\u2019s timeless, symbolic, responsive, and emergent. If this sounds like the tagline
\nfor a special collections and archives summer blockbuster, you may be right! Our closing
\nplenary features a marvelous trio of speakers who will transform our ideas surrounding
\npreservation, digital, and architectural design, from the concrete to conceptual. What expert
\nguidance and insight can RBMS-goers expect? Here\u2019s a sneak preview\u2026<\/p>\n
Jim Reilly (Rochester Institute of Technology) will offer the latest preservation strategies\u2014
\nnew approaches to collections care that strike a sensitive balance between cost-effective,
\nlife-extending, high-capacity storage solutions with the ongoing need for symbolic, uplifting
\npublic spaces that, in his words, send \u201ca strong message of dignity and importance\u201d around
\nan institution\u2019s overall brand. Jim will invite us to consider the persuasive evidence related to
\nsustainable construction, and compel us to justify our emblematic physical presence.<\/p>\n

\nsessions with architects, so moderating this panel couldn\u2019t come at a better time. We\u2019re
\nembarking on a remodel that will give our architecture collections, artist books, and oral
\nhistories not just a chilly place to reside, but a new spatial context\u2014one that is open, flexible,
\nand tech-tool enriched; a sort of laboratory for faculty and student-driven engagement,
\nexamination, research, visualization, and presentation that\u2019s at the heart of our polytechnic
\nidentity. We\u2019re creating one floor where Special Collections and Archives will share physical
\nadjacencies with our digital repository and digital scholarship, as well as the GIS\/data studio,
\nintentionally linking the rare and unique with a host of digital resources that loop back to
\nlibrary-based instruction efforts.<\/p>\n
