ALTOONA, Pa. — An article on the Pennsylvania Library Association's College & Research Division blog, "It's Academic," highlights a recent collaboration between Eiche Library Director Bonnie Imler and Penn State Altoona History Instructor Jared Frederick.

“Bringing archives into the undergraduate classroom” describes how Imler worked with Frederick’s fall 2017 HIST 112 course.
