University of Glasgow Arts Library Associate - Archives & Special Collections outputs
Working in partnership the Library and the College of Arts & Humanities offered students the opportunity to become Arts Library Associates. Students who took part in the scheme were involved in informal collaborative meetings with Library staff that enabled them to both learn more about the Library and to offer valuable feedback on their experiences of using the Library. Each Associate was then offered the opportunity to work on a mini project of their choosing. Outputs have included posters, presentations, blog posts, booklets and videos. Below are Archives & Special Collections related outputs:
2023-2024:
A film made by University of Glasgow student and Library Associate Leah Hart - a prototype student-generated navigation film, illustrating what a video tour of Archives & Special Collections on Level 12 could look like (note: obsolete - the space has since been refurbished and changed).
