Session Description:
In 2015, Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) forty-two member libraries joined the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation funded Consortium on Digital Resources for Teaching and Research. This Consortium seeks to improve teaching and learning, creating collaborative research opportunities through offering access to Shared Shelf, a digital asset storage and content delivery management system. This panel showcases four Consortium member institutions with panelists offering their Consortium experiences related to creating and implementing digitization projects.
