Welcome to the Research Librarians Cohort!

The purpose of the Research Librarian Cohort (RLC) is to assess the needs and represent the interests of librarians, archivists, and curators of comics collections within the Comics Studies Society. A primary goal of ours it to promote collaboration between librarians and the comics studies students and scholars who employ these materials in support of learning, scholarship, and engagement. We also provide fellowship, support, and advocacy for cohort members as they pursue their work in collecting, preserving, and providing access to comics and related materials as part of the academic mission of colleges and universities.

The RLC will provide opportunities for continuing professional education in comics librarianship, recruitment and mentoring opportunities for professionals in the field, opportunities to engage with comics studies students and scholars on projects of shared interest, and places to discuss their professional and scholarly interests and concerns.

If you would like to join the RLC, or if you have any other questions for us, you can reach us at csslibrarians@gmail.com.
