Lecture moved to SCC!

Great news!   Michael Stephens’ talk has been relocated to the Scholarly Communication Center on the fourth floor of Alexander Library.  The SCC can accommodate more people, and we’re expecting a good turn out.  Come and bring your friends and colleagues!

The reception will still be in the Pane Room at 7 p.m.  We will then move upstairs to the SCC shortly before 7:30 to enjoy Michael Stephen’s talk on the hyperlinked library.

Hope to see you there!
