DESCRIPTION

Social media engagement with your academic community can be more than just 'likes.' The “My #HuntLibrary photo project encourages visitors to publicize the Hunt Library through the photo-sharing platform Instagram, helping to foster a sense of community ownership of the new building. Images from this crowdsourced documentation effort will be selected to become part of our permanent digital collections.
