Thinking about collections 3
Interesting search function from Northwestern’s library: “search hidden collections.” (Though the title is a bit of a tease: the search results simply give a bit of information about each special collection, mostly regarding extent and provenance, so it’s really just “search for special collections.”)
As an aside, I also like this recent post from someone who is apparently a master’s level student at Syracuse on some of the issues of “hidden collections.” (In fact, I like the blog itself, as it seems to be full of the kind of practitioner-in-the-making reflections on the education and the profession that I am urging students here at Oklahoma to at least try. Though of course this does have its drawbacks— do you really want faculty members from other schools reading and recommending your blog, hmm?)
P.S. Oh, and what the heck, I might as well link to a useful post reflecting on learning strategies from a current OU student’s blog, just so that I’m not accused of still being obsessed with Syracuse after all this time….
