"I would like to take a moment to reiterate my gratitude to the Numismatic Bibliomania Society for the continuing support of the ANS Library. At the last NBS meeting, which took place at the ANA in Philadelphia in August 2012, the NBS generously donated $5,000 to the ANS Library (mentioned in the 2012 Philadelphia NBS meetings report) and since then we have put this donation to great use. In November 2012, we hired library cataloger Katie Rissetto, who is now working full-time in the ANS Library. Katie has her Master’s in Library Science degree with a concentration in rare books and special collections and she is an efficient cataloger and has adapted quickly to working at the ANS.

Already we have discovered some previously un-cataloged items in the rare book room that now appear in DONUM. I often use these items as discussion points for my ANS Magazine library column, and have recently submitted an article for future Asylum publication consideration about one such recent discovery. I look forward to continuing to learn from the NBS community and share our own discoveries here in the ANS Library!"
