Open Access: Why It Matters
The Palinet Leadership Network has just put together a very good overview of the Open Access movement called "Open Access: Why It Matters". Excerpted from longer essays published by Peter Suber, one of the most vocal supporters of Open Access, this site pulls together concise lists of moral & pragmatic arguments for the movement, and offers links to additional information. For the most current updates to the Open Access movement, go to Peter Suber's blog, Open Access News.
Article Published by New Librarian
Swarthmore alum and new Digital Collections Librarian at Haverford College, David Conners, has recently had an article published in Library Journal. Co-written with Laena McCarthy, Image Cataloger and Assistant Professor, Pratt Institute Libraries, the article "Can The Jobs Be Found," reconsiders the common presumption that entry-level jobs for recent library school graduates are hard to find.

More computers in the Bryn Mawr libraries?!
ATTENTION STUDENTS! Would you like to see more computers in Canaday, Collier, and Carpenter? If so, where should we put them?
Information Services is thinking about rearranging some of the computing and study spaces on campus, and we'd like your input.
- Would you like to see more computers in carrels on the 2nd and 3rd floors of Canaday?
- Are there spaces that should have wireless computing access, but don't? Where?
- Do you like big tables with many computers, or do you like one computer on a table so you can spread out?
