Online 'Mini-Publishing':
detailed & comprehensive bibliographical descriptions
of rare or unusual books and/or unique documents as instant web-journalism

Since transferring to Archives & Special Collections in 1995, numerous, lengthy, descriptive online entries in the UM Libraries' public catalogue BISON have been created for rare and/or unique items or documents held in the Libraries in general, or in Archives & Special Collections in particular. While many are related to my function as German bibliographer or to my FPG & FrL research area, many are not.
Good examples of the latter kind, going well beyond the confinements of ordinary cataloguing conventions in their exhaustive descriptions, are the entries for:
- the orig. 1808/9 ed. of Coleridge's Journal, The Friend
- Francesco Colonna's orig. 1499 ed. of Hypnerotomachia Poliphili
- Margaret Laurence's 1943/44 Neepawa Highschool editorials when she still known as Peggy Wemyss
- Foxe, John, 1516-1587. Actes and monuments of matters most speciall and memorable happenyng in the Church with an Universall history of the same
- Miniature Japanese Screens, mostly 16th century
- exhibition publications drawing on UM archival collection, such as the 2005 FrL Exhibition which included books from the Grove Collection & online editions of FrL's German poetry, especially, the 1904/5 "Fanny Essler" poems [pseud. for FrL & FPG/Greve)
