Zines are self-published, small circulation works, often in booklet form, that are made by piecing together multimedia such as original or appropriated texts and images. This research cluster will work to develop a pedagogical approach to zine-making for students in various disciplines, as well as local community groups. Output of this research cluster will include numerous zines produced by the cluster, U of I students, and community groups, and dissemination of the zines at the 2020 Small Press Fest.<\/p>\n

Librarianship as a profession is under equipped to work with people who have disabilities. This research project proposal is multi-staged and includes: 1. Ascertain the level of training in library and information science graduate programs, the current requirements and course offerings that focus on disability awareness of programs, and the attitudes and training needs of current practitioners, through the use of tailored national surveys. 2. Utilize a systematic review methodology to perform a comprehensive multidisciplinary literature review of compassion and disability awareness related training programs. 3. Create a training evaluation rubric based on the analysis of the literature review. The project will serve as a pilot for a larger grant to be applied for from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.<\/p>\n

The Woodward Collection of Advertising: Documenting American Media, Culture, and Consumer Behavior in the 20th Century<\/h2>\n
Principal Investigator: Jennifer Teper<\/p>\n
Award: NHPRC<\/p>\n

The Woodward Collection of Advertising consists of over 4 million ads from magazines and newspapers designated by product type, brand, date, and sometimes region, dating from the early period of mass advertising in the late 1800’s through the 1980’s. The collection represents the social, economic, and cultural changes in the United States through printed, ephemeral advertisements particularly targeted at the developing middle class American. In its current state, it is impossible for users to determine whether the advertisement they need is included in the collection, let alone where in the collection it can be found. The key to providing access to the Woodward Collection\u2019s history of American consumer culture and values and the ability to integrate the collection into research and instruction is to improve its preservation, inventory, and access thereby facilitating the research process for a wide variety of users. The grant project will produce a searchable online EAD finding aid, MARC record, and website describing the collection. As part of the dissemination stage of the project, printed postcards will be produced to distribute to students, faculty and researchers both locally and nationally.<\/p>\n
