Abstract

Many libraries assist faculty in the development of digital materials for instruction, with services ranging form scanning documents for electronic course reserves to providing digital production centers for faculty use. But what types of services are best offered by librarians when the development of instructional materials takes the form of formal, more complex digitization projects? This article describes one such collaborative project, the Dorothea June Grossbart Historic Costume Collection (HCC) at Wayne State University (WSU), and examines how building this digital resource has offered new opportunities for librarians to expand their partnerships with faculty and meet shared education goals.
