To understand why UD s Marian Library has what librarian Jillian Ewalt calls the most significant crèche collection in the U.S., you have to know the library s mission. All research has to do with the Blessed Virgin Mary.
The library started its International Crèche Collection in 1994, which is almost entirely based on contributions from friends and donors. We received a major acquisition of 2,000 nativity sets from an Australian donor - Elisabeth Van Mullekom-Cserep - in 2007, which really jump-started the crèche collection, according to Ewalt.

This fall, University Libraries faculty and staff offered seven asynchronous programs in partnership with Housing and Residence Life’s AVIATE program, reaching 5,281 students. With a pivot to virtual programming, we developed new and engaging content on a variety of topics using platforms like Springshare’s LibWizard and Google Forms. Take a look at the results of our fall semester programming lineup.
Making Memes: Visual Literacy and Internet Culture
In August and September, Bridget Retzloff and Jillian Ewalt invited students to learn about visual literacy while creating their own memes. Students watched a short interactive lecture on visual literacy, memes, and finding public domain images; participated in an activity to find an image and create or remix a meme; and then shared their images and answered reflection questions. 567 students received PATH points, and we all benefited from seeing some student meme examples that accurately reflect the vibe of 2020.
