Oh, You OSU!
Posted by maggie
(By the way, OSU is working with other research facilities. Michigan State University is another repository of important comics documents; in fact, OSU's Lucy Caswell commented that her collection coordinates some of its collection with what's to be found at MSU. No need to duplicate shelf space for, say,
Amazing Spider-Man
#174, if MSU has it. So this ongoing rant about OSU is not to be taken as ignoring what MSU and others have to offer.)
OSU doesn't limit its interests to what you or I as collectors might obsess on. My interests are many and varied but are, after all, the things in which I'm interested; on the other hand, if it's sequential art, OSU cares about it. And cares fiercely. For example, one project involves manga, and that includes the manga being produced right this minute in Japan. Here are some of the shelves devoted to taking in and cataloging current manga series. You'll note the individual identification slips. Each volume is read and catalogued with a summary [in English] of contents [in Japanese] and then integrated into the collection.
