Library Lens - Week 26

We received a colourful collection of photos this week...

Kathy had a fun (if warm) time at the American Library Association annual conference in Las Vegas. She met the Orange Man Group from Innovative Interfaces, the Emery-Pratt robot, Oscar, and lined up for a professional caricature courtesy of Thomson Reuters. Photo submitted by Kathy Szigeti.

Davis staff had to act quickly to protect library collections from a flood this week! Some items weren't so lucky. Photos submitted by Mary Lynne Bartlett and Troy West.

Derek watering the plants before taking off on vacation...luckily they survived until his return. Photo taken by Allison Murray and submitted by Derek Scoular.

Eva was excited to find copies of her latest book in the mail earlier this week: “Discovering and Using Historical Geographic Resources on the Web,” co-written with Larry Laliberte, brings back old maps in a digital era.

This week's throwback photo:

I had a student this week who, not only didn't remember card catalogues, but had never heard of them and couldn't even grasp the concept...feel old yet?
