    A SCUA Snapshot: collection users and usage based on statistics from Aeon
    (2017-06-08) Hawk, Amanda
    Presented at the 2017 Libraries Research and Innovative Practice Forum, this poster provides an analysis of statistics gathered from Aeon, a special collections management system used by the Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) unit in Hornbake Library. The statistics cover the period from August 1, 2014 through May 31, 2017, presenting almost three years of data trends since automating the collection registration and request process, as well as an explanation of the limitations of the reporting system. I also consider how Special Collections and University Archives might utilize statistical information to make changes within the unit.

    Building a Successful (and Flexible) Partnership with UMD's Gymkana Troupe
    (2016-06-08) Hawk, Amanda
    Presented at the 2016 Library Research and Innovative Practice Forum, this poster provides an overview of a successful partnership between the University of Maryland Archives and UMD's Gymkana Troupe to publicize Gymkana's 70th anniversary and to digitize the troupe's holdings in the Archives. Gymkana is an exhibition gymnastics troupe founded on campus in 1946 which runs a variety of educational and healthy-living outreach programs. Various stages of the project are highlighted, including an exhibit in McKeldin Library, a LaunchUMD fundraising campaign, and the troupe's participation in metadata creation for digital objects. By maintaining an open and flexible dialogue throughout the project planning and execution, both the library and the troupe members ultimately benefited from this collaboration.
