Abstract

Cultural Heritage and the Campus Community consists of sixteen practical case studies detailing Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAMs) collaborations within academic settings. While most of the universities and colleges featured in these case studies are large, this volume is useful to read no matter the size of the academic institution. All the case studies emphasize the importance of institutional-level buy-in and support, and demonstrate that GLAM relationships are stronger together on college campuses. Realizing and harnessing these partnerships is key to successful efforts to highlight the work libraries do to steward and create access to cultural heritage collections and expanding classroom learning.
