Description

Activities
The college will hire anew librarian who will address a backlog in its campus library of over 2,150 local authors and 2,544 local materials for which cataloging was postponed because of the novel coronavirus pandemic. When catalogued, the new librarian will make these materials searchable so that they can be used in the college?s courses and in student and faculty research. Having the librarian on hand will free other library staff to complete delayed humanities projects in the college?s archives and digital humanities collections.
Expected outcomes
This project will make more resources in the humanities accessible and searchable, particularly ones that highlight previously underrepresented voices.
Intended beneficiaries
Primary beneficiaries will be the recipient?s approximately 1,400 enrolled undergraduate students. More expansively, the recipient maintains a partnership with the kentucky state digital archives, and through the website of those archives the collections in the recipient?s library are accessible globally.
Subrecipient activities
The recipient does not intend to subaward funds.]
