Good bye Carole Myles, Head of Reference. We had a great time, although sad, congratulating Carole on her new position as Member Services Consultant with OCLC (WorldCat). Carole will be working from her home, and traveling to all types of libraries in the NE Area.

Here’s an interesting site in the Newslink newsletter from Information Today: Academia.edu

There’s not much on the site for Assumption (just the Communications Department), but I searched BU for example, and there are bunches of people and bunches of papers and research topics. It’s really quite interesting.
Academia.edu is a recently launched website that enables graduate students and academics to create academic webpages and to find other academics around the world with the same research interests. The new collaborative site www,academia.edu does two things: It shows academics around the world structured in a "tree" format, displayed according to their departmental and institutional affiliations, and it enables academics to see news on the latest research in their area—the latest people, papers, and talks. The service is free at this time.
