This effort is enabled through funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities, with initial grant projects awarded to the University of Florida. Literature for Children draws from the children's literature collections of the state's public university libraries and from the collections of their partners in K-12 and higher education. These volumes form part of the Baldwin Library of Historical Children's Literature, housed in the Department of Special Collections at the University of Florida. But, the currently available on-line collection includes volumes drawn from the Special Collections of Florida State University, Florida Atlantic University, and the University of South Florida.

Do you GLAM? GLAM is an acronym that stands for: Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums.

Do you GLAM?

The designation applies to institutions that have something in common - they are repositories of human cultural heritage. Although there are institutions that bring together museums, archives, libraries, etc., providing them with financial or logistical support -- such as the Institute of Museum and Library Services (ILMS) in Washington, DC, Museums, Libraries and Archives Council in the UK and the Norwegian Archive, Library and Museum Authority -- these institutions do not claim to belong to GLAM nor do they use this acronym. What, therefore, is GLAM? It is the idea that the institutions whose mission it is to collect cultural treasures will benefit from making these resources widely available. The idea of GLAM can be best illustrated by two initiatives, OpenGL and GLAM-Wiki. OpenGLAM At first glance it would seem that the objectives and business models of archives and museums are very different. GLAM-Wiki.
