contents Access and Use in the Digital Age: A Case Study of a Digital Postcard Collection Ladd, Marcus Access to Information Case Studies Library Automation Library Development Library Materials Graphic Arts Heritage Education Student Employment Publicity Educational History Library Administration Academic Libraries This article reflects on the first eighteen months of a long-term project to digitize a large and still-growing postcard collection. The project is notable for its use of student workers, developing an active donor base, establishing a significant online presence, and igniting interest in, use of, and donations to the collection itself. Throughout 2014, statistics from Google Analytics, CONTENTdm, and Flickr were monitored and analyzed. Combined with a review of the project itself, this case study examines how cultural heritage materials may be made available on a limited budget and used in the Digital Age.
