On Tuesday I finally got the opportunity to spend some time in the NC Collection. Granted, that time was spent shifting books around to make more room in the collection, but I suspect that they will have some more interesting tasks once that project is completed.
The NC Collection is an interesting one. From what I gather, the NC Collection at UNC consists mostly of books written by North Carolina authors, so I had expected more of the same in this collection. This turned out not to be the case. Actually, the majority of books that I saw were fairly dull: budget reports from years past, census materials, and so on. Mixed in with these rather stodgy, official reports are some items that come as something of a surprise, such as the entire shelf full of material related to paranormal activity. (I suspected, and my guess turned out to be correct, that these items are here courtesy of their association with the Rhine Research Center.)
This was a fairly short post. I expect that I'll have more to report once I'm done moving books around.
