Library Lens - Week 40

This week staff and students have been kept pretty busy!

Alison Hitchens writes, "Here are a couple of pictures from my recent conference visit to Austin, Texas for the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative conference.  One of them is a picture of the archives in the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library. The other is a picture of a statue in Austin of a woman, Angelina Eberly, who saved the archives of the Republic of Texas in Austin from being taken away to Houston http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina_Eberly." Photos submitted by Alison Hitchens.

Gail Sperling writes, "On my way into work last Tuesday the sun was rising behind the clouds and the silver lining was amazing.  I don’t think the photo really does it justice." Photo submitted by Gail Sperling.
