Abstract

Students at Penn State University have launched a digital exhibition called "Books Unbound" that showcases a diverse range of books from the university's Eberly Family Special Collections Library. The exhibition features books from various time periods and locations, including Sumatra and Pennsylvania. The project is a collaboration between the History Department and the Special Collections Library, offering students a hands-on approach to studying book history and the role of libraries. The exhibition allows students to choose a book or item, research its significance, and present their findings to a general audience. The books on display are available for teaching or research purposes. [Extracted from the article]
