More good press from the Spec

A story in yesterday’s Spectator mentions our Peace and War in the 20th Century digitization project.  Congratulations to all involved in the project!

One week, three major news outlets

You can’t see me but I’m doing a little dance as I type this. (quite difficult actually to type and dance!) We’ve had three major news stories about the libraries in just under a week! Essentially we hit all of the major publications that the university community sees including:

Hamilton Spectator: “Mac Libraries Turn the Page”

Globe and Mail: “Bringing the Reading Room into the Digital Age”

University Affairs: “Reference this! A new breed of librarians shakes up the shelves”

I’m very pleased that the McMaster University Library is receiving the (very well deserved) attention that it deserves. It’s an indication to me that we are moving forward in the right direction for a 21st century university library.

I especially want to thank all of the staff who have been working extremely hard to make all of these things possible. I know it’s obvious that they’re responsible for the change but it’s not said enough. Thank you!

Banner day

Banner day for us!  Article in University Affairs (see previous post) AND an article in the local Hamilton Spectator. 

University Affairs

Great article in University Affairs about changes in libraries.  My mug on front cover!  Authographs wil cost you.  :)
