Next Wednesday, our presentors for the Brown Bag Series on Collections, will be Katherine Martinez, SUL Curator for American and British History, and Wojciech Zalewski, SUL Curator for Slavic and East European Collections. Katherine will speak on "Chasing the Chimera and Snagging the Snark: Collection Development in U.S. History at Stanford", while Wojciech will talk on the "Challenge of Book Collecting in Post Communist Europe". This is a juxtaposition of topics that promises to be particularly fascinating and two speakers who are as entertaining as they are enlightening.
Join us: Wednesday, Jan 31st
Place: Ida Green Conference Room, Green Library
Time: noon - 1:00 (with talks beginning as soon
after noon as possible)

| I remember the first time I saw her
and it was a few years back at that... She was trudging across campus and she was wearing a wonderful hat! Often knitted, but of sterling character Her chapeaux she would change often And when she smiled (she still does now) Somehow the day would soften... Her attitude is one of concern. Her beliefs are deep and true. She's a real friend to many most especially me and you! The fact that she'll be missed is not in doubt around these parts. She'll still be here though Somewhere close to our hearts! CATTLE FLOGGING I used to call it. She said that was too violent an allusion. She said that was just too organized, didn't take into account the confusion. The big part of her job I gathered was to make sense and organize. I know it's all too complex for me to grab, But this I do surmise... When she's out of here we'll miss her including her delightful hats. She's always got a viewpoint I think I'll miss mostly that. So I want to say Au Revoir Happy Retirement, you well deserve Like Martin Mull I won't say goodbye I'll just say Hors de oeuvre Good Luck! |

| I sing to thee, O Internet,
O muse of modern men, Or would, if I could only get The notes out, through my pen. The song that Homer sang, the Greeks Set down upon the page. The rhyme I set to paper seeks The Web, this day and age. As written word replaced the voice, So keyboard hath my ink. Of tools to aid the mind, our choice Doth ever change, I think. The medium tomorrow may Make heir unto the air We now know not, though we may say Today it isn't there. A pox upon thee, Internet! Thou digitize my views Right off the page: from thee I get The electronic blues. |
