Columbia Library Columns
http://library.columbia.edu/content/libraryweb/indiv/rbml/digitalcollections/columns.html
Most institutions keep records of their various activities, and university
libraries are no different. Columbia University's Library published its in-
house "Columbia Library Columns" from 1951 to 1996. Over the years it was
edited by several people, including Kenneth A. Lohf, Jean Ashton, and
Michael Stoller. This remarkable archive brings together the entire run; all
told, it includes 135 issues and 6,900 pages. Visitors can browse the table
of contents, peruse a list of all the volumes, and also perform a detailed
keyword search. The Selected Articles of Interest collection brings together
some of the most compelling offerings, such as "The John Jay Papers,"
"Instructing Women: Conduct Books in the Plimpton Library," and a rather
intriguing piece from 1978 titled "The Library of the Future Has Books."

Bates College Digital Library

Bates College in Lewiston, Maine has created this site to provide access to
some of the holdings in the Edmund S. Muskie Archives and Special
Collections Library. Appropriately enough, the library holds the papers of
Muskie, who served as the governor of Maine from 1955 to 1959, and then as
one of the United States senators from the state from 1959 to 1980. One of
the collections here consists of more than 400 interviews with individuals
who knew, affected, or were affected by Senator Muskie. Visitors to the site
can browse each interview, and in many cases, the interviews include an
audio recording, a transcript and a summary sheet. Interested parties can
search for particular words in each transcript and browse by interviewer,
interviewee, and interviewer number. In addition, the site includes access
to some of the 10,000 historic photographs of Bates College. This section of
the site documents the life of the institution from 1875 to the present day,
and users can search for photographs of classroom activities, clubs, dorm
life, and theater.
