Abstract

This essay cluster features three essays by students which reflect on their experiences developing digital scholarly resources in collaboration with the GLAM sector (the acronym for galleries, libraries, archives, and museums). Each essay focuses on a particular project: a digital exhibit of Redpath Museum's precious seahorse collection, a digital collection of Renaissance books published by the printer-publisher Aldus Manutius held at Simon Fraser University Library Special Collections, and a digital exhibit of Victorian-era Pre-Raphaelite books hosted by the University of Victoria Library. In describing these projects, these essays reveal emerging models of digital pedagogy involving collaboration among students, faculty, and librarians. Lisa Goddard and Rebecca Dowson, academic librarians specialized in digital scholarship from the University of Victoria and Simon Fraser University, respond to these essays, offering their perspective on what student–GLAM collaborations add to the mission of academic libraries.
