Discover the Kelley Center for Government Information & Civic Engagement
This session has the following two parts:
Part 1.
Join us for a 25-minute presentation introducing the Kelley Center’s unique collections and services. Discover who we are, what we do, and how faculty, students, and researchers can access and use government information and civic engagement resources in all formats—print, digital, maps, and microforms—for teaching, research, and creative projects. Learn how to get support from us, and explore highlights of our current teaching and research collaborations, civic engagement initiatives, and exhibit projects. Whether you are new to the Kelley Center or looking for innovative ways to incorporate primary sources and data into your work, this session will help you unlock new possibilities. A Q&A will follow the presentation.
Part 2
