"Found in the Archives" highlights materials from another election year on campus - this one in 1964. Students took an active role in politics that year, hosting a mock convention and election in addition to internships and plenty of pavement-pounding for state and national campaigns. "Found in the Archives" is a project of the University Archives.

The featured digital collection in the library catalog is the Kohler Art Library's Artists' Book Collection. This database is an illustrated, descriptive index to the Artists’ Book Collection, located in the Kohler Art Library, University of Wisconsin-Madison. Presently, the Artists’ Book Collection contains over 1000 titles. The database indexes the majority of them by providing indepth metadata useful in searching the collection and one to four images for each title to visually represent the structure and/or content of the book. With the goal to create a “visual finding aid” to the entire Artists’ Book Collection, the database is expanded and updated on a periodic basis as new titles are acquired.
