- Digitization - The New Jersey Documents Collection received a new scanner through an IMLS grant. Library staff is using it, along with Adobe Acrobat 8.0 software, to create archival files from older Jerseyana and New Jersey Documents in the subject areas of immigration, migration, ethnicity and race. The 8.0 version of Adobe Acrobat is the first version to provide an archival .pdf, now an international standard. The scanned documents will be linked from the State Library web site www.njstatelib.org/cyberdesk to our online catalog and is available on the New Jersey Digital Collections web page. They are also linked from the
New Jersey Digital Highway http://www.njdigitalhighway.org. Some of the titles are: “What is Ethnicity?” - Howard Green, “Blueprint for a Drug Free New Jersey” – Thomas H. Kean (Governor), “I Don’t Feel No Ways Tired” – New Jersey Division on Civil Rights, “Trenton’s Foreign Colonies” – John S. Merzbacher, “Looking Back: Eleven Life Histories “– compiled by Giles Wright and “Arrival and Settlement in a New Place” – Giles R. Wright.
- New brochure - Library staff members are producing a new brochure that highlights the services and resources of the research Library. This new glossy brochure will be included in all outreach materials for the coming year. A new service is highlighted that allows people beyond
New Jersey’s borders to get a library card and borrow from the State Library.
