Nora Epstein, a part-time librarian in the DePaul’s Special Collections and Archives, was recently profiled in Fine Books & Collections as part of its “Bright Young Librarians” series. In her profile, Epstein describes her introduction to special collections librarianship at a number of Chicago institutions, including Northwestern University and the Newberry Library, as well as her education in librarianship and book history at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the University of St Andrews (U.K.). She describes her work at DePaul within the context of our special collections instruction program, which was also profiled in a recent article in our faculty newsletter.
