Item Student Workers and Special Collections: A Symbiotic Relationship?(2019-06-11) Romans, Laura; McKittrick, AllisonMany special collections utilize student labor, and in many cases, tight funding and resources dictate that the students provide what the profession often considers high-level skills, including providing reference services and processing collections. Consequently, professional staff invest significant amounts of time and energy to provide students with the training and support necessary to carry out these tasks successfully, even if the student only stays for a semester or two. Based on their experiences as student workers and now as managers, the presenters of this session will explore the essentialness of student labor and consider both the concerns and opportunities that arise as a result.Item Working Collections: Preserving Memory, Enhancing Heritage(2019) Ward, Sandi; Ward, SandiPresentation by Sandi Ward for "Working Collections: Preserving Memory, Enhancing Heritage" at MARAC Morgantown, April 2019. The CR/10 Project (CR/10) is a video oral history project created by the East Asian Library, University Library System, University of Pittsburgh. CR/10 aims to preserve memories and impressions from people who experienced China's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, which lasted from 1966-1976. The collection also includes interviews with members of China's post-Cultural Revolution generations, who reflect on the circumstances under which they did, or did not, learn about the Cultural Revolution. Interviewees are given approximately 10 minutes to express their memories of or thoughts about the 10 years of China's Cultural Revolution. This presentation discussed the motivations of the project, its workflow and technical details, and its reception by researchers, faculty, and the public.
