Seminar F. Finding Common Ground: CLIR Postdoctoral Fellows on Scholarly Engagement with Hidden Special Collections and Archives

Abstract

What is the role of the scholar in the 21st-century library and archival environment? How do today’s librarians, archivists, and scholars interact with one another to realize their distinct professional goals? Each presenter is a current or former Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) Postdoctoral Fellow. Based on their varied experience, the Fellows will offer fresh perspectives on scholarly engagement – a critical topic for the success of special collections libraries and archives in the digital age.
