Fine Books & Collections recently featured Michelle Chesner, ’08, who serves as the Norman E. Alexander Librarian for Jewish Studies in the global studies division of the Columbia University Libraries. Chesner is responsible for Columbia’s rare Judaica collection which is located in the Rare Book and Manuscript Library. Chesner, a graduate of the MSLIS program, told the magazine that her passion for rare books is derived from being able to share with others a completely unique entry into the past.
