The Carnegie Libraries in Iowa Project (CLIP) is an interdisciplinary project that seeks to chart the history of Iowa's Carnegie libraries by creating a digital library of images and other documentary and statistical information to be made publicly available over the World Wide Web. 

 

 

CLIP represents a partnership among students, staff and faculty at the University of Iowa's School of Library and Information Science (SLIS), The University of Iowa Libraries, Iowa's library practitioners and members of Iowa communities, including high school and college students as well as interested members of the general public. Using CLIP as a starting point, and by using critical methods to analyze the records from sociological, historical, architectural, aesthetic and technical perspectives, library users ranging from humanities scholars to school children are encouraged to study the history of Iowa’s Carnegie libraries in the context of its changing communities.

 

CLIP seeks to chart changes in Iowa's Carnegie libraries by capturing digital images and collecting documentary and statistical data to be stored in a database record for each community, prior to analyzing the data from sociological, historical, architectural, aesthetic and technical perspective.
