Results/Conclusions
The solicitation resulted in the addition of ten new resources to the library before the conference, including videos developed by conference attendees and presented during the event as Case Studies. These were among the first video resources added to the library. Two photograph collections, one dataset, three classroom activities, and three additional videos were also contributed to the collection.
