Colleen Theisen was there with tribbles the students could stuff and stitch to add to the <em>50 Years of Star Trek<\/em> exhibition. Students making a tribble received an &#8220;I&#8217;m a tribble maker&#8221; button and an entry to win the life size Captain Kirk cutout that is slowly being overcome by tribbles in the front case of the exhibition.

Peter Balestrieri&#8217;s Report from the DemiCon Science Fiction Convention:<\/h4>\n<p>It was my pleasure to attend the 27th DemiCon Science Fiction Convention in Des Moines last week. The UI Libraries had a table in the hotel lobby that was seen by everyone in attendance. I gave out our coveted retro robot and rocket ship squeeze toys and dozens of our self-made zines that advertise our Star Trek and Doctor Who collections, along with a zine explaining the Hevelin Fanzine Digitization Project. I also spoke on a panel (one that fans called the \u201cbest panel in years\u201d) on Victorian Horror with Artist Guest of Honor, Alan M. Clark. Finally, I delivered our annual, \u201cState of the Hevelin Collection,\u201d presentation to people who knew Rusty Hevelin and loved him. All the news regarding digitization of fanzines and the progress made cataloging pulp magazines and books from the collection was very well-received. All in all, it was another great opportunity to reach out to the people of Iowa to let them know what we do in Special Collections (and have some fun).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-4407 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/2016\/05\/06\/special-collections-weekly-update-562016\/demicon3\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/05\/demicon3-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Special Collections&#039; Table at Demicon\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-4413\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/05\/demicon3-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/05\/demicon3-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/05\/demicon3-115x115.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-4413'>\n\t\t\t\tSpecial Collections&#8217; table\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/2016\/05\/06\/special-collections-weekly-update-562016\/demicon4\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/05\/demicon4-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Zombie costumes from Demicon\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-3-4412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/05\/demicon4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/05\/demicon4-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/speccoll\/files\/2016\/05\/demicon4-115x115.jpg 115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-3-4412'>\n\t\t\t\tZombie cosplay\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Social Media &amp; Online Community:<\/h3>\n<h4>New Acquisition Vine Videos Pass 1.5 Million Views<\/h4>\n<p>Acquisitions &amp; Collections Management Librarian Margaret Gamm&#8217;s\u00a06 second Vine videos opening new acquisitions have been viewed over 1.5 million times total.
