What is the Research Librarian 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, to promote collaboration between librarians and the comics studies students and scholars who employ these materials, and to provide fellowship, support, and advocacy for cohort members as they pursue their work in collecting, preserving, and providing access to comics and related materials. 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 provide places to discuss their professional and scholarly interests and concerns.
