Greetings from Martin Halbert, UNCG Dean of Libraries. I'm starting this new Twitter account to provide updates on the many activities and projects underway here at the UNCG libraries, as well as topics of general interst to me. (Martin Halbert).

See my Tumblr update on the UNCG Library Master Space Planning Project (#UNCGLibSpace) at tinyurl.com/UNCGLibSpace20…

I'm attending the planning meeting for next steps for the NC DOCKS cooperative IR (libres.uncg.edu/ir/). I'm very impressed with the great brainstorming and innovative ideas #NCDOCKS

Belated congratulations to all the NC institutions that were awarded IMLS NLG or 21CL grants this year, including UNCG Libraries NC DNCR and Educopia: imls.gov/grants/awarded… imls.gov/grants/awarded… imls.gov/grants/awarded… imls.gov/grants/awarded…

Congratulations to our own Richard Cox and David Gwynn for their new $300K NEH award "People not Property", continuing the success of the UNCG Digital Library of American Slavery program (library.uncg.edu/slavery/)! See announcement (top billing!) at: archives.gov/press/press-re…

I wanted to extend my congratulations to Erin Lawrimore, who has been awarded a LSTA Grant for 2018-2019. The title of the project is "Archival Processing." She was awarded nearly $15,000! Wonderful!

We are now celebrating twenty years since the advent of electronic theses and dissertations. Read about the history of this movement in the new article by Gail McMillan at er.educause.edu/articles/2018/… and some of the movers/shakers in this space. #educopia #proquest
