Welcome to the Class Request Tool wiki!

The Class Request Tool (CRT) is an application that invites instructors to request assistance, space, and time for teaching at all archives and special collections repositories within an institution. Facing both patrons and staff, it is intended to centralize the management of class requests in order to reduce the burden of communication and improve patron experience. CRT supports the increasing demand for on-site teaching and learning activities at single repository or across multiple special collections and archives in consortia. Designed explicitly to support the materially engaged classes held in archives and special collections, the CRT also offers a number of options to help highlight library services, collections, and the pedagogical possibilities of engagement with primary sources.
