    In anticipation of the unveiling of the Blanche Castleman Link Digital Scrapbook on December 11, the LIS 462 Digital Libraries class is hosting a panel discussion on how to advocate for digital projects to potential stakeholders, in preparation for students facing graduation and entering the field of digital services. Digitization is not just an add-on: it’s fundamental to what we do! Come find out why.

    *LISSA End of the Semester Party
    5:00 pm – 8:00 pm – Kotzen Room
    LISSA invites you all to our “end of semester” event on Friday, December 11th from 5-8 PM in the Kotzen Room. For the first hour, we will have a scavenger hunt. We will meet in the Kotzen Room for instructions and then venture off, in teams of up to 5 people, and at least one of them will need to have either a smart phone or digital camera to record items found. Then we will return to the Kotzen Room, announce the winners, and have food and a great party. We hope to see you there!
