A story online recounts Mia Jaeggli's achievement in digitizing exhibits at the Environmental Design Library (ENVI). A technical services work leader at ENVI, Jaeggli is also a student at SJSU's library school, which covered the story. Jaeggli notes that when she proposed the project, she received a positive response from Waverly Lowell, curator of the Environmental Design Archives. The first exhibit to go online in September 2009 was "Fatal Design," on the evolution of design for pubilc cemeteries in the U.S.  Future collections will be based on physical exhibits shown at ENVI, while others will be "born digital."
