Book Collectors Given Chance To Make Their Efforts Pay
It is not often that the genuine student book collector, as opposed to the more common student textbook collector, is given a chance to gain recognition for his efforts.
But the undergraduate book collectors at KU have such an opportunity in the seventh annual competitive Taylor Book Collection Awards.
AN UNDERGRADUATE student can enter the contest with as few as 35 volumes. Paperback and hard-back volumes are acceptable, said W. Stuart Forth, associate director of libraries.
General collections can contain fiction, essays, poetry, anthropology, history, etc. Areas for specialized and general collections may range from movies, mesmerism and Lenin to war, witchcraft, and Erasmus.
BUT REGARDLESS of what the student's collection contains, he must present a method and reason for his acquisitions.
Breon Mitchell, Salina junior, won last year's contest with a collection concerning "pseudo science."
Forth explained that each contestant is required to submit a bibliography of his collection together with a description of why he collected what he did by April 16.
The preliminary judging is based on the bibliographies and personal statements by the entrants. The
finalists present their collections to the library for the final judging.
THE FIRST place award is $100,
second place, $50. Forth said the
number of contestants usually
averages from 10 to 25.
If the contest is won by a senior, he is eligible to compete for the Amy Loveman $1,000 National Award which is sponsored by the Book-of-the-Month Club, the Saturday Review and the Women's National Book Association.
