[SOA] Tonight! Thurs, Oct 13 Highlights for Children Archive presentation

[The Aldus Society via OHIOARCHIVISTS]

*The Aldus Society*, presents on October 12, 2017: *Deidra Herring*,
Associate Professor and Subject Specialist for Education, Collections,
Instruction, & Public Services at the Ohio State University Libraries, who
will talk about *The Highlights for Children Archive at The Ohio State
University Library*.

Founded in 1946 in Columbus, Ohio, Highlights for Children has been one of
the nation's most successful children's literature publishing ventures and
continues to thrive today.  Over 70 years of the magazine's archives are
housed in the Rare Books and Manuscript Library at Ohio State University
and is a primary research resource for the study of children's literature,
cultural literacy, primary education and cognitive development.

Herring received her Masters of Library Science at the University of
Illinois and a B.S. in Education from Central State University in
Wilberforce, Ohio.  She has been at OSUL since 2005.  She has presented and
published widely in the area of outreach and library user instruction.  In
2016 Herring was the principal curator for the exhibition Fun With a
Purpose: Highlights and its Contribution to Childhood Education, an
interactive exhibition that took a closer look at why young readers and
adults continue to love Highlights magazine. The exhibition was initiated
and installed to coordinate with the 2016 annual conference of the
Children's Literature Association.
