Information is a precious gift to all people. In order to preserve it for a long time to come, archives help maintain and provide access to information for public use. In this project, I explore a brief history of archives and detail my process of building one of my own for Canyon Voices - a literary magazine on ASU's West campus.
Students in Organic Chemistry for Majors were required to write a paper as the culminating course assignment. Prior to completing this assignment, students could attend a library instruction session covering relevant databases and resources. Upon submission of their papers, bibliographies from 53 students were collected. Calculations were made to attempt a holistic account of costs associated with completing the assignment. Factors such as the cost of journals, databases, and librarian time were all included in the overall cost estimate, totalling $7,189.22 for this single assignment.
