Speaker, Jake Mangum, earned both his BS in Information Science in 2013 and his MS in Library Science in 2014 from the University of North Texas. He became the Project Development Librarian for the Portal to Texas History at the University of North Texas Libraries in February 2015. In this role he works as a liaison with partners in the creation and digitization of collections for the Portal. An additional function of his role at the UNT Libraries is to perform outreach to various organizations and associations. These include genealogical societies, museums, libraries, and private collectors.
The Portal to Texas History is a digital repository for historical and cultural heritage materials. The materials hosted on the Portal are the product of collaboration between the University of North Texas Libraries and Portal Partners, which include genealogical societies, museums, libraries, government agencies, and private collectors. The presentation will provide users with an overview of the Portal and how one could use it for their own research interests.
Guests are welcome. Membership forms are on the website.
