Today I'm celebrating the focus of the newly engaged HBCU Library Alliance Digital Initiatives Committee. Established after the 2002 Inaugural Meeting, the Committee has re-assembled to plot future directions of the HBCU Library Digital Initiative and will begin this significant work by learning members' issues around the HBCU Library Alliance Digital Collection. Chaired by Dr. Janice Franklin and Co-Chaired by Cedric Davis, Alabama State University, with members Loretta Parham and Christine Wiseman, Atlanta University Center Woodruff Library (GA), Monika Rhue, HBCU Library Alliance Vice-Chair, Johnson C. Smith University (NC), Elsie Weatherington, Virginia State University and Adrienne Webber, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, the committee brings a wealth of knowledge and insight to share. As you know, the HBCU Library Alliance Digital Collection contains more than 16,000 images of founding documents from twenty-three participating institutions. Follow this link http://hbcudigitallibrary.auctr.edu/ to access the collection. It is a virtual treasure of early African-American history and culture that can inform teaching, learning and scholarship. The Digital Collection is an important initiative of the HBCU Library Alliance as it engages the user community in the relevance of the African-American experience. I believe you agree with me that our images must be preserved, protected and shared. Digital Initiatives Survey- Respond by Tuesday, September 27 The purpose of the survey is to gather information from members regarding interest, needs and concerns in support of the HBCU Library Alliance Digital Initiative.
