ARL Celebrating Research volume

[Jeffrey Makala <makalaj@GWM.SC.EDU>]

With apologies for cross-posting: 
Many individuals on this list may have seen the Association of Research Libraries* recently-published 75th anniversary volume Celebrating Research, which includes special collections profiles and collection highlights from the 100+ ARL member libraries. 
  
The project has also generated an accompanying website: 
http://www.celebratingresearch.org 
that includes the complete contents of the print volume. There was a good discussion of the book at the RBMS Collection Development Discussion Group at Midwinter in Philadelphia. 
  
For a short article I*ve agreed to do for ARL, I*d be interested in thoughts or feedback from those of you whose institutions are represented in the volume and website, especially about the utility of the project: 
  
          Are there plans at your insitution to publicize the book or your contributions? 
          What was the disposition of copies internally? 
          Are there ways the website is or will be used to share information about your collections to your various user communities? 
  
If replies come directly to me, I will summarize for the list. 
 
Thanks very much,
 
Jeffrey
