The Library’s digital bookplating program creates digital bookplates, manages the assignment of endowed and cash funds to materials acquired, places a link to a digital bookplate in catalog records, and displays the most recently acquired titles (and a link to a catalog search for all associated titles) on a dynamic web page devoted to each fund. Digital bookplates showcase donor generosity, encourage giving, and provide ongoing stewardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The database includes information about the donor, the bookplate, fund restrictions, reporting information, and income. A web interface allows staff to enter and edit data, upload bookplate images, and produce reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We associate books with endowed funds and their bookplates AFTER they are cataloged, making use of exported records and macros to add the bookplate fields. Item records have three new fields:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The website was updated by Digital Technologies in 2024, with a more accessible and responsible design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This project includes endowed funds as well as cash gifts and gifts in kind. The intention is to replace all paper bookplating. Previously, up to five titles associated with the bookplate appeared on the bookplate page; currently for most funds and honorees we enter a link to BruKnow that will bring users to a list of all items with that Bookplate, e.g. See items purchased with this fund in the library catalog<\/a>.
