As the Iowa Digital Library approaches the 100,000-item mark, we’re celebrating this milestonetemp by highlighting some of our favorite items from the collections.

Title: Tablet weaving, 2005
Creator: Sally Orgren
Collection: cARTalog Digital Collection

 

I started at the library long enough ago to have typed/corrected/filed and pulled (mostly pulled) cards from the catalog. I have done tablet weaving and so appreciate this use of the old cards. I also like that the digital image of the object is really  catching a moment in time, both the in-process nature of the piece itself and also the celebration of the transition from the print catalog to an online form.
