Folks in this world may be interested to know about the #MellonFoundation funded Radical Librarianship Institute and accompanying community press @ #UCLA #InformationStudies. This will include a full fine press printing lab, too, to be used for UCLA #mlis courses and @calrbs! The Horn Press at UCLA will also emerge back onto the scene. Can’t wait to partner with many of you on this! https://seis.ucla.edu/news/mellon-foundation-grants-1.25-million-to-create-the-radical-librarianship-institute-at-ucla
