The big story at the Libraries this year has been our Special Collections department’s ascendancy to social media superstardom. Here in Digital Research & Publishing, we’re happy to hook our wagon to that stardom for promoting the Libraries’ digital initiatives to the 18,000 (and counting!) followers at the UISpecColl Tumblr, and to loan our multimedia expertise to film and edit their YouTube video series. Here’s to even more public engagement success in 2014!

Digital projects featured on Tumblr:

Women’s History Wednesday – Iowa Women’s Archives collections in the Iowa Digital Library
Transcribe Tuesday – transcribed excerpts from handwritten documents at the DIY History crowdsourcing site
Staxpeditions – short videos exploring the Special Collections stacks
