USF’s Ex Libris: Journal of the USF Library Associates

The Associates was a friends-of-the-library group supporting Tampa Library's Special Collections. The department's director, Joseph Bertrand (Jay) Dobkin, who also served as Associates' executive secretary, created Ex Libris in 1977 and served as its editor until publication ceased with his retirement in 1988. The journal featured articles about various aspects of the department's collections, along with notes on exhibits, new acquisitions, and Associates' activities. There are 15 issues in this collection, 1/3 (Winter 1978) - 7/1 (1988).
