Runyon, Carolyn; Houlihan, Meggan

Abstract:

Once the revolution was underway like many academic departments the library contemplated how it could contribute educating students, promoting awareness and preserving its history. Various departments in Libraries and Learning Technologies, including Research and Information Services, Rare Books and Special Collections, University Academic Computing Technologies and the Center for Teaching and Learning all worked together to start collecting archival materials, record oral histories, offer research assistance, help with instructional design and much more. Today we will highlight these contributions.
