Thanks to the following granting agencies for their generous support of our digital projects:

Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS)
An IMLS grant for “Classification of Government Websites in the End-of-Term Archive: Extending Depository Libraries’ Collection Development Practices.” In this project, UNT is partnering with the Internet Archive to classify, in accord with the SuDocs system, the materials in the 2008–2009 End-of-Term (EOT) Web, collected by UNT, which represents the entirety of the federal government’s public Web presence immediately before and after the 2009 change in presidential administrations. The project will also identify metrics to translate measurable units for selected materials in Web archives to units more familiar to libraries and more recognizable by university administrators. More information is available at the eotcd project Web site.
