You Never Outgrow Dr. Suess!, Ann Green

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

"I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny." Immortal words from The Cat in the Hat by Dr. Seuss, born Theodor Seuss (his mother's maiden name) Geisel.

Digital Archives In The Discovery Layer: A Collaboration Between Archivists And Technical Services Librarians, Christina A. Beis, Kayla Harris, Stephanie Shreffler

Roesch Library Faculty Presentations

Effective collaboration between archives and technical services increases the discoverability of special collection materials. Archivists at a medium-sized institution had been using Archive-It to collect websites for a few years, but the information was isolated in a separate platform and wasn’t effectively marketed to users. Working together, the team of archivists and technical services librarians incorporated the website collections into the discovery layer. Metadata was added at the seed level and indexed on a single, user-friendly platform. Attendees will learn about implementing digital archive collections and explore how they can increase their visibility through marketing.
