WHAT'S NEW?
2013 Arthur Vining Davis Foundations Grant spurs new projects, technologies, and internships: Thanks to a generous grant from the AVD Foundations, the Mote Library and Archives is initiating a number of new projects and making even more of its unique special collections dating back to the 1920s available for research. Library internships for this grant may be available. Learn more here.
80 Years of Environmental Data Online: In 2009-2010, the library staff conducted a digitization project of pertinent Mote Technical Reports and 1930s-40s grey literature from the Bass Biological Laboratory (BBL) of Englewood, Florida. The process involved the rescue and preservation of unpublished documents and data from BBL, conversion to electronic format, and e-publication of the materials in Mote's repository, DSpace . Digitization of the materials was funded under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA), from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), administered by the Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services. |
