An archive of digital government and non-government organization (NGO) documents and reports, representing the Greater Everglades watershed and adjacent ecosystems, including areas north of Lake Okeechobee (The North Everglades) and south of the peninsula, including Florida Bay, the Florida Keys, and the various adjacent national parks. Material includes sound recordings, pamphlets, books, photos, art, curriculum material, government reports, theses and dissertations, scientific data sets, and more. The Temple University Archives, located within the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, is the principal repository for and steward of University records. We collect, preserve, and make these records accessible to stimulate, enrich, and support research, teaching, learning, and administration at Temple University. SCRC makes these resources available to the Temple community and to a broad constituency as part of the University's engagement with the larger community of scholars and independent researchers. These Archive-It collections capture the on-line presence of Temple University.

Complete information about the archives is available at http://www.library.temple.edu/scrc.

Everglades Explorer is a library, archive and research service with customized search engines. Everglades Explorer's mission is to provide easier location of quality and specific information, and improve quick access to data, publications and maps buried or scattered across the shallow and deep web.

The portal also provides records, links and archives connecting directly to video, sound recordings, pamphlets, books, photos, art, curriculum material, government reports, theses and dissertations, scientific data sets, and more. Everglades Explorer makes use of: 1) An open source discovery system (eXtensible Catalog) collecting and housing thick metadata in MARCXML and Dublin Core linking directly to diverse academic digital resources; 2) The Internet Archive, collecting and linking searchers to Everglades related documents, reports and other resources in.pdf and media formats, mostly harvested from government and non-government organizations(NGO). 3) A targeted Google API searching across thin Everglades metadata and real-time Content Management System (CMS) websites of partners, and other select organizations and government agencies.

The University of Scranton Weinberg Memorial Library serves the University's students, administration, alumni and community by collecting, preserving, and providing access to records of permanent value. Increasingly, these records are born digital and dynamic. Web archiving not only preserves the University's web presence but also leverages the University's website and social media accounts as aggregators of digital information about the University - including reports, strategic plans, press releases, viewbooks, and media - that are otherwise vulnerable to digital degradation or loss. Contact the Weinberg Memorial Library at digitalcollections@scranton.edu if you have questions or suggestions for the University of Scranton web archiving initiative.
