We know that “end of an era” is a cliche, but everything else seems
inadequate.
Mike Widener is stepping down as Rare Book Librarian at the
Yale Law School, a post he took up after years as Head of Special
Collections at the Tarlton Law Library, University of Texas at Austin,
School of Law. His farewell post on the blog of the Lillian Goldman Law
Library is
here; an interview,
here. He tells us that he will stay in
the rare book world as the U.S. Advisor for
Bibliopathos, and in August
he will teach his
Rare Book School course, “Law Books: History &
Connoisseurship.”
