Western Michigan University Library is an academic library in Kalamazoo, Michigan that serves both undergraduate and graduate students.

Project Objectives

  • Prepare and enter cataloging data on photos from the Ward Morgan collection.
  • Revise library subject guides and resource web pages
  • Provide reference services in person and through email
  • Assist and take part in provision of bibliographic instruction sessions

Learning Objectives


  • Gain knowledge of what goes into making a digital collection by doing local history research and creating metadata
  • Learn about issues regarding the library services needs of off-campus students
  • Practice conducting reference interviews and using reference desk resources
  • Learn different styles of bibliographic instruction for teaching the use of library databases

Project Outcomes


I prepared over 100 images from the Ward Morgan collection and created metadata prior to uploading them to the online database. I provided both in-person and email reference services for business, statistical, and homework related questions. Finally, I provided bibliographic instruction on the use of library databases and I updated some online subject guides for which new resources and descriptive information was needed.
