Jernigan Library at Texas A&M University-Kingsville the 2016 Federal Depository Library of the Year. The library was selected for its leader- ship, educational outreach, and commitment to providing free public access to federal government information. The library staff is very active in promoting the importance of government information to students and the public through campus events, displays, on- line chats, and on social media. The James C. Jernigan Library opened its doors for the first time in 1925. The library became a member of GPO’s Fed- eral Depository Library Program (FDLP) in 1944.

December 2016 531 C&RL News Collaborating for Impact, Rewired now available from ACRL ACRL announces the publication of Col- laborating for Impact: Special Collections and Liaison Librarian Partnerships, edited by Kristen Totleben and Lori Birrell, and Rewired: Research-Writing Partnerships within the Frameworks, edited by Randall McClure. Designed to guide the reader through three different themes—collection stew- a r d s h i p ; p r o j e c t s , r e s e a r c h , and exhibi- tions; and i n s t r u c - tion—Col- laborating for Impact offers inspi- ration and case stud- ies detail- ing how de- partments can impact research, teaching, and learning by working collaboratively. Collaborating for Impact opens with an exploration of current collaborations between liaison and special collections librarians, including a thorough literature review. A proposed framework for acquiring general and special collections that docu- ment the history of the academy and remain responsive to campus curricular needs, and a tutorial on object-based pedagogy that can underpin such arrangements, follow. And fi nally, there are 13 case studies that provide concrete examples of how to move the needle towards sustainable efforts and away from one-off examples. Rewired highlights the clear connec- tions between two important disciplinary documents—the Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing (CWPA, NCTE, and NWP, 2011) and the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education (ACRL, 2016)—and examines partnerships between librarians and their colleagues who are teaching information literacy in new and impactful ways. The chapters in Section 1, “Developing a Shared Understanding,” show the ways we can learn from each other’s expertise when we engage i n c o n - ver sation and break down the disciplin- a r y s i l o s that tend t o s e p a - r a t e u s . The range of curricu- lar reforms a t i n s t i - t u t i o n s across the country showcased in Section 2, “Partner- ing Research and Writing,” offer multiple options for how partnerships between faculty members invested in writing in the disciplines and their librarian colleagues might develop in different kinds of institu- tional contexts. Finally, Section 3, “Assessing Writing and Information Literacy,” challenges us to think about how we assess students’ research- writing development and the impact of the partnerships we develop. Collaborating for Impact and Rewired: Research-Writing Partnerships within the Frameworks are available for purchase in print and as an ebook through the ALA Online Store, in print through Amazon.com, and by telephone order at (866) 746-7252 in the United States or (770) 442-8633 for international customers. C&RL News December 2016 532 Framework “Sandbox,” new Advisory Board members The ACRL Framework for Information Lit- eracy Advisory Board (FAB) has been hard at work collaborating with the Cherry Hill Company on the development of the Frame- work “Sandbox,” a repository for sharing Framework in- struction materials. While development has taken a little longer than originally anticipated, FAB is excited to report that the repository will enter into the testing phase. After testing is complete and feedback incorporated, FAB hopes to launch the site by the end of November/early December of this year. Check ACRL Insider for additional updates on the “Sandbox.” ACRL President Irene M. H. Herold has also appointed four new members to FAB to expand the range of expertise and perspectives that can contribute to the work of the group. Priority projects for this year include the launch and promotion of the Framework “Sandbox” repository, collaboration with the new Framework Curriculum Designer/Presenter team, and the introduction of the Framework Toolkit as a locally tailored profes- sional development tool. The new members are kYmberly Keeton, academic librarian, as- sistant professor and Arts librar y coordinator at Lincoln University; Sara D. Miller, librarian for in- terdisciplinary teaching and learning initiatives at Michigan State Uni- versity; Raymond Pun, fi rst year student success librarian at California State University- Fresno; and Mark Szarko, literature, global studies, and languages, and theater arts librarian at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. the south Texas library currently contains more than 1 million separate bibliographic items and offers access to more than 40,000 periodical titles. Through the FDLP, GPO works with ap- proximately 1,150 libraries nationwide to provide public access to authentic, published information from all three branches of the federal government in print and electronic formats. The program’s antecedents can be traced back to the act of Congress dated December 27, 1813 (3 Stat. 140), which provided that one copy of the journals and documents of the Senate and House be sent to each university and college and each historical society in each state. GPO has operated the FDLP since 1895. DePaul Library exhibition aims to place Vincentians into arena of American history’ This year, the Congregation of the Mission —Vincentian priests—will be celebrating their 200th anniversary in America, and the Richardson Library at DePaul University is mounting a large exhibit to mark the mile- stone. The exhibit titled “The Bicentennial Celebration of the Vincentians in America,” is cosponsored by DePaul’s Offi ce of Mis- sion and Values and will feature more than 50 objects in two separate displays. The exhibition features artifacts, letters, documents, maps, and books that were either owned by Vincentians and part of their fi rst li- brary or are signifi cant to the journey and ex- perience of those fi rst American Vincentians. December 2016 533 C&RL News The majority of materials on display are held in DePaul University Special Collections and Archives as part of the Vincentian Studies Collection, but items from the St. Louis Archdiocesan Archives and the Vincentian Curia Archives in Rome are also featured. The free exhibition will be open to the public through March 2017. Mellon Foundation, Digital Preservation Coalition form of email archives task force The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Digital Preservation Coali- tion recently announced the forma- tion of a Task Force on Technical Approaches for Email Archives. The task force is charged with assessing current frameworks, tools, and ap- proaches being taken toward these critical historical sources. Christo- pher Prom, assistant university archi- vist/Andrew S. G. Turyn Endowed Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and Kate Murray, IT specialist in the Technol- ogy Policy Directorate at the Library of Congress, will serve as cochairs of the task force. The task force will aim to construct a working agenda by focusing on the follow- ing three issues: articulating this technical framework, suggesting how existing tools fit within this framework, and beginning to identify any missing elements. The Task Force on Technical Approaches for Email Archives is charged to examine these issues over the next 12 months. The task force will then prepare a report of its findings, with recommendations for specific actions that archives could take within five years to cre- ate, preserve, and provide access to records of electronic correspondence.
