Overall, this Digital Engagement Project with the IISC and KYL has been an incredible learning process for our group. Right away, we discovered so much about the Kendall Young Library, which we knew little about, from visiting their facilities and researching the institution. The same can be said for learning about Webster City, which Olivia did not realize was in Iowa. Additionally, this whole project was really interesting to us because we were actually applying the practices we had learned in our "Museums in a Digital World" course to a real-life institution, and we enjoyed creating content for the Kendall Young Library to potentially use. Figuring out which types of content to create for KYL was a little difficult, as the library has only Facebook/Twitter accounts and a website, but we truly feel as if we were able to come up with and produce digital initiatives that will engage families and other individuals that visit KYL.

We would like to thank everyone who has helped us throughout this digital engagement project! Specifically, we would like to acknowledge the IISC for partnering our class with the Kendall Young Library and for providing transportation and a per diem to visit KYL in September. Additionally, we must thank KYL for hosting our class during that visit and for providing print-out information about the library and its collections as well as for answering all the questions our class had for the KYL staff. Finally, we cannot forget to acknowledge our fearless leader, Professor Lung for organizing this class, listening to our rants, answering our questions, and constantly putting out fires during this project.
