GOAT was acquired for Special Collections and housed in the Heritage Room, 4th floor Coleman Library Annex. The most comprehensive look at Muhammad Ali to date, GOAT consists of 800 pages of archival and original photographs, graphic artwork, articles, and essays (many of them previously unpublished) chronicling six decades of Ali’s life. It features written contributions from hundreds of writers and photographers, as well as over 3,000 photographs, plus Ali's own insights, writings and drawings, and reproductions of fight posters and classic memorabilia. Photo by Gloria Woody The Libraries’ printing is number 6,722 of 10,000 copies. It came with a photo-litho created by Jeff Koons and is signed by both Muhammad Ali and Jeff Koons.

LYRASIS: Annual Report 2016 Dear Members You are reading our first annual report since 2009. For me, I embark upon my second year at LYRASIS, knowing that each day brings a new opportunity to not only support, but to act, to advocate and to lead with our members.

And, for you, this means you are a part of the most dynamic, uniquely diverse cultural heritage membership organization around that is focused on transforming the ways your institution can serve your community better. You will read about how our past year of transformation, transition and restructuring has benefited you. You will get a sense of where we are headed as we work together to change how content and knowledge is shared, is preserved and even distributed in ways that will allow our institution to be open, relevant and future-proofed in ways that might not be possible when acting alone. 2 LYRASIS: Annual Report 2016 Here are some of my favorite accomplishments undertaken on your behalf. Value – We are committed to offering more value to you.

Temple with medals from a 1958 meet in Moscow, courtesy of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Special Collections. Building Capacity: The HBCU Library Alliance and CCAHA Nine years before the first shot of the Civil War, Cheyney University of Pennsylvania was founded, now viewed as the nation’s first still-operating HBCU (Historically Black College and University). As 100+ more HBCUs steadily opened—spread across 19 states, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands—the academic libraries within the HBCUs found themselves serving as repositories for the historical documents of their faculty, alumni, and communities. Looking back now, many of these documents are true treasures. They record and preserve a history too long overlooked and disregarded. The HBCU libraries and their archives offer irreplaceable documentation of the African-American experience in the 19th and 20th century centuries, reflecting the monumental themes of slavery, Civil War, Restoration, the Great Migration, the Harlem Renaissance, the Civil Rights Movement, Black Lives Matter, and so much more. Complementing these broad themes, the HBCU special collections also spotlight the contributions of individuals in countless fields—from science to politics and from arts to athletics—with the work of very familiar names preserved alongside lesser-known figures who nonetheless left material that can offer unparalleled insight into their time or area of expertise. For more than a decade, CCAHA has been honored to work side-by-side with the HBCU Library Alliance, a consortium dedicated to strengthening the libraries and archives at 76 member HBCUs.
