Our recent workshop, "Logging the Academic Life" at Lehigh University, was a great success. We had about 60 attendees turn out on a hot, summer's day to hear Scott Carlson of the Chronicle of Higher Education and Richard Sweeney from the New Jersey Institute of Technology, our two keynote speakers, give two highly entertaining and stimulating presentations.

Folks also attended one of the three breakout sessions, one by Suzanne Kellerman, Penn State, and Chris Raab, F & M, on their experiences digitizing student newspapers, a second by Richard Griscom, Univ of Penn, and John Osborne, Dickinson College, on what their institutions are doing towards digitizing the best student scholarship, and the third by Julia Maserjian, Lehigh University, who showed us some of the nifty projects faculty, students, and library staff are collaborating on.

Look for a more complete write up of the workshop in an upcoming issue of the PaLA Bulletin.
