Capturing New Voices and Perspectives: Humanities Projects at the Centre College Library Delayed by Covid-19

FAIN: ZED-283717-22

Centre College of Kentucky (Danville, KY 40422-1309)
Carrie Frey (Project Director: May 2021 to July 2023)

The hire of a cataloging and metadata librarian and support for two other librarians to complete delayed work and to assist faculty and student research in the humanities.

Centre College seeks to fund the new role of Cataloging and Metadata Librarian in its Grace Doherty Library, so that other library staff can complete delayed projects in the archives and digital humanities related to capturing new voices and perspectives. Ultimately, this project will make more resources in the humanities searchable and accessible to students and scholars. The hiring for this position was delayed by the pandemic. This led to a backlog of work and hindered research in the humanities fields.
