Hi all -- I publish a blog about #Pennsylvania #libraryhistory. This month I've written about #NationalLibraryWeek, Richard W. Boss (an important library #automation consultant), Gilbert Gaul and his expose' Libraries in Distress, and other topics. Check it out here: palibhist.blogspot.com

Good news: I just published a PA #libraryhistory article @theconversation.com, which is kind of like the Associated Press for news items written by campus faculty. Feel free to share! theconversation.com/how-librarie...
