Rosenbloom's interdisciplinary work - spanning the fields of librarianship, history, proteomics, and material culture - sheds light on how academic library collections are being used in some unforeseen ways and the importance of preservation and access to these collections.For more information about the UCLA Library and our upcoming calendar of events, contact UCLA Library Development at giving@library.ucla.edu
