LBCH/UM LIBRARY ACTIVITIES

UM SI graduate students at LBHCThis website covers work carried out by six University of Michigan School of Information (SI) students, one SI postgraduate intern, and an emerita UM librarian, under the direction of a SI faculty member during May 1-6, 2000. It also documents the tremendous follow-up work done by the emerita UM librarian and a University Library cataloger from October through November, 2000. This work is part of the significant and ongoing work of the Cultural Heritage Preservation Institute at the University of Michigan.

It was an enormous pleasure to work with the Little Big Horn College. The Michigan team came and left with high spirits and great gratitude for LBHC's enthusiasm in working together and for its hospitality. We look forward to continuing our work in the archives, the library, and in digital, information technology-based activities.
