It is a heady formula. With brands across the globe spending nearly $27 billion on social media marketing, an expenditure estimated to go up 37% by 2020 to reach $37 billion, and 45% of the worlds population actively engaged on social media, one unlikely sector has found a lucrative and free marketing source – college students.

Several universities across the country have begun using so-called student ambassadors or influencers to market their brand on Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.  According to a 2018 study by Pricewaterhouse Coopers, social media is the most influential marketing source for potential buyers. Over 70% of social media users hit the college sweet spot: individuals between the ages of 18-29.

Collections Include Records of National American Woman Suffrage Association, President Lincoln’s Private Secretary, Olmsted Associates Landscape Architectural Firm, Federal Monetary Policy

Researchers and students have gained access to seven newly digitized collections of manuscript materials from the Library of Congress, including records of one of the most important women’s suffrage organizations, the papers of President Abraham Lincoln’s personal secretary and collections on the history of federal monetary policy. The availability of these collections added more than 465,000 images to the Library’s already vast online resources.

New and updated collections now available on the Library of Congress website:

Civil Rights History Project
The American Folklife Center’s Civil Rights History Project has been updated with 38 additional interviews.

Music Treasures Consortium
Significant music-related acquisitions include manuscript scores and early print editions of Beethoven, Verdi, Mendelssohn, Mozart and Chopin, among others. Also added is the manuscript score of George Gershwin’s "Rhapsody in Blue," newly in the public domain.

Armenian Rarities
The African and Middle Eastern Division has released a collection of 50 Armenian objects, along with a broader set of 164 previously scanned items from the division’s holdings.

Publications of the Law Library of Congress
The Law Library has released 120 reports by the Global Legal Research Directorate, the precursor to a more expansive digitization effort.

Colorado Folklife Project
The collection consists of field recordings, photographs, drawings, and field notes from a field survey conducted in 1980 focused on traditional life and work on family ranches in the lower Blue River Valley, Summit County and Grand County, Colorado.

To celebrate the 220^th anniversary of its founding, the Library of Congress today announced the release of the LOC Collections app, the premiere mobile app that puts the national library’s digital collections in the hands of users everywhere.

In addition to providing an easy, accessible way to search and explore the Library’s growing digital collections, LOC Collections allows users to curate personal galleries of items in the Library’s collections for their own reference and for sharing with others. Items currently featured on the app include audio recordings, books, videos, manuscripts, maps, newspapers, notated music, periodicals, photos, prints, and drawings.

“The Library of Congress collection can now fit in your pocket,” said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. “The Library started 220 years ago with 740 books and three maps. Today, that collection has grown to make us the largest library in the world and a storehouse of our national history. It’s been our goal to throw open our treasure chest and help every American connect to the Library of Congress. The LOC Collections app is a uniquely personal, easy new way to explore the nation’s library.”  

Users can currently find the app for iPhone and iPad at the Library’s website or the iTunes store. An Android version of the app is slated for release later in 2020.
