All of the library staff who helped gather data for the ACRL [Academic College & Research Libraries] Facilities Survey.

Your counts of square footage, seats etc. enabled the successful and timely submission of the survey response. It would not have been possible without all of your help. It is truly appreciated.

Nicole Babcock & Tyson Robinson
 Nicole and Tyson quickly provided important information about archival space at the Rochester and Arizona location. I am hopeful this will allow the archival space in Florida to start off on the right foot!

 Emily Christopherson & Hilary Lane

 Emily for scanning the first Subgroup of the Archives Photograph collection (Special Collections)--almost 1,500 images; they were a mix of prints, negatives, and slides. She scanned each image at preservation quality and saved it as a TIF. Then she created a user copy JPG and a low quality thumbnail of each one to upload to SKCA (archival catalog) so the image appears along with the record when people are searching MAX, the public interface for SKCA. Hilary is helping to upload the images into SKCA—so far 1,150--and the remaining 300+ should be up in not too long!
