Description:

Northwestern University is a private institution founded in 1851. The school has campuses in Evanston, IL, Chicago, IL, and Doha, Qatar. Northwestern's approximately 190,000 alumni include leaders in government, law, science, education, medicine, and performing arts. The Northwestern University Libraries use Archive-It to document online academic, administrative, research, athletic, public service, and social activities and reflect the evolving nature of the university's web presence. Metadata is the language used in Northwestern University Libraries’ (NUL) catalog, online tools, archives, and digital collections to describe and manage resources and enable their discovery and ongoing access by the scholarly community. NUL acknowledges the reality that our metadata and practices reflect a white supremacist and discriminatory culture.
