From Zero to One Hundred in Three Years or Less: Collaborative Digitization with the North Carolina Digital Heritage Center
The North Carolina Digital Heritage Center was founded in late 2009 to provide digitization and digital publishing services to cultural heritage organizations around the state. In fewer than three years, the Center has worked with more than 100 different institutions. The success of the Heritage Center is due in large part to an open and flexible approach to planning and collaboration that is respectful of the varying needs of our partners. This presentation will focus on collaboration between libraries, including a discussion of strategies for building and sustaining effective partnerships.

Harness the Power of the Paraprofessional: Doing More with Less Staff
During the 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 academic years, the Bluford Library has partnered with the A&T math department to plan, acquire funding for,and establish a multisite Math Emporium. This new model of hybrid instruction features online self-guided instructional modules, tutoring sessions, and proctored exams. This allows us to expand our ties to the math department, provide math students with access beyond normal classroom hours, and increase student engagement with library space and personnel. This presentation will describe the Math Emporium concept andoutline the processes and challenges of partnering to create a math space within the library.
