As part of the University of Houston Libraries’ Strategic Directions Initiative, Special Collections has completed its census of projects and initiatives which fall into current, future and "blue sky" categories. Broad topical areas include:
- Digital Projects
- Instruction
- Cataloging & Collections Access
- Collection Processing
- Reference, and
- Stacks Maintenance
These areas align with already-identified strategic directions such as supporting new models of scholarly communication, the re-branding of the libraries, development of a teaching & learning center, and the expansion of the Libraries’ virtual presence.
