Notes
Abstract: The 3Dhotbed (3D History of the Book Education) collection has grown in several areas since its debut at TCDL in spring 2017. It has continued to fill the need for affordable teaching models for early type-casting, and now includes other book history artifacts. The 3Dhotbed team have been at work creating workflows for 3D data upload and description, articles on the project and collaborative work, adding to the digital collection, and developing a new typesetting toolkit. This presentation will detail these new developments, early assessment of the collection by users, and future plans for this exciting resource.
This presentation is part of the following collections of related materials.
