New: Digitization: UNCG Opens Web Portal to Greensboro’s Civil Rights History

From the Announcement:

UNCG, in conjunction with the 50-year anniversary of the Greensboro Sit-ins, has launched Civil Rights Greensboro, an online portal to information about the people and events that have helped define Greensboro’s history.

The site, found at http://library.uncg.edu/dp/crg/, represents a combined effort between UNCG, Guilford College, Greensboro College and Duke University. It is hosted and maintained by the UNCG University Libraries’ Electronic Resources and Information Technology department.

[Snip]

Civil Rights Greensboro, a searchable digital archive, covers such subjects as desegregation of local schools, the historic February 1960 sit-ins at Woolworth’s, race relations at UNCG and Guilford College, the Black Power movement in Greensboro, and the Greensboro Massacre of 1979. Audio clips of first-person accounts, transcribed oral histories and archival photos are available on the site.

Digitized resources came from the following collections:
+ University Archives and Manuscripts, UNCG
+ Friends Historical Collection, Guilford College
+ Brock Historical Museum, Greensboro College
+ Rare Book, Manuscript and Special Collections Library, Duke University
+ Greensboro Historical Museum

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
