Digitization continues

Hello everybody,

A quick update about the DSpace digital repository- I'm moving forward with a second collection!  Back in February I completed the digitization of the yearbooks and I watched to see how the community would use them.  I'm happy to say that these digital resources have been a game changer for both administrators and alumni.  Both constituent groups are able to independently conduct research.

I am now advancing the digital repository further by adding course catalogs. The catalogs describe not only the courses of study and credit counts, but also the physical campus, faculty credentials, expenses, rules for students, and social activities. In the case of our earliest catalogs, there are also annual reports from the president.

As of today, there are 25 course catalogs uploaded to DSpace.  The digitization of the catalogs is currently ongoing and the content will be uploaded as it is created.  Check back regularly to see new additions to the collection.  https://desu.dspacedirect.org/handle/20.500.12090/399

Yours,
Joy
