Abstract

Presentation Slides from the University of Illinois' portion of the following panel presentation: In many libraries today, interest in the preservation and use of distinctive collections is growing. Emphasis is being placed on the importance of archives, special collections, and other cultural holdings in all formats. Often new spaces for these holdings seek to promote their role in teaching, research, and exhibition, and in campus and community partnerships, characterized by the GLAM movement (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums). This session will focus on design and construction of new archives and special collection spaces at Rutgers University, where the existing special collections space was severely damaged by Hurricane Ida, and at the University of Illinois, where the undergraduate library is being redesigned to serve special collections as part of a multi-stage renovation program. These new facilities embody the new image for special collections, and this vision will be expanded by examining the spatial and programmatic impacts of library/museum collaboration at the University of Delaware and elsewhere.
