Greetings Colleagues, I trust you're well. Today I'm celebrating the HBCU/Cornell Digital Collection. The digital collection is comprised of primary resources from HBCU libraries and archives and includes more than 16,000 images of founding documents contributed from participating member libraries. The collection highlights the contributions of HBCUs to American history and encourages collaboration between HBCU libraries and other organizations. Dr. Janice Franklin, Dean of the University Library & Learning Resources Center at Alabama State University, chairs the committee supporting this very important work. Related to the Alliance's digital collection and to aid in continuing this work, please paste this link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NCGYZW7 into your address bar and complete the two-question training needs survey. Responses are needed no later than next Friday, August 3rd. Respectfully, Sandra SANDRA M.
