Thanks to the following granting agencies for their generous support of our digital projects:
Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)
An IMLS grant for “Classification of Government Websites in the
End-of-Term Archive: Extending Depository Libraries’ Collection
Development Practices.” In this project, UNT is partnering with the
Internet Archive to classify, in accord with the SuDocs system, the
materials in the 2008–2009 End-of-Term (EOT) Web, collected by UNT,
which represents the entirety of the federal government’s public Web
presence immediately before and after the 2009 change in presidential
administrations. The project will also identify metrics to translate
measurable units for selected materials in Web archives to units more
familiar to libraries and more recognizable by university
administrators. More information is available at the eotcd project
Web site.
