Win Kindle Fire for Sharing Opinions on KSL

Graduate Students: A Kindle Fire could be yours! KSL knows you're busy, but we'd like to share an hour of your time & talk about what you use in library resources, spaces, and services. Register and participate in a session, and your immediate future might include a Kindle Fire!

We'll also talk about what the future@KSL might offer graduate students. We especially need Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Weatherhead graduate students to meet with library staff in informal discussions.

Share your knowledge & remarks on your research activities—we look forward to hearing from you. Registration is required, lunch is provided. Participants from all groups will be entered in a drawing for a Kindle Fire, which could change your research, too!

Sign Up for your school's session here: http://tinyurl.com/KSL-focus-group

• Social Science & Weatherhead Graduate Students: Feb 1, Noon -1:30 pm
• Arts & Humanities Graduate Students: Feb 6, Noon - 1:30 pm

Sessions are in the Graduate Research Commons room, SW corner (Severance Hall side), 2nd floor.

Now Online: Freedman Center Colloquium Videos

Now you can see and hear the colloquium if you weren't able to attend, or you can revisit some of the presenters from the November 7 & 8 Freedman Center Colloquium, Building A Culture for Digital Scholarship. Attendees heard speakers from across the country discuss new methods of collaboration and present diverse views of how research & publication are evolving.

Presenters showed the strengths of new collaborative, publishing, and research efforts. The closing panel voiced the challenges of tradition, vocabulary, and disciplines as authors, teachers & researchers make their way in new landscapes.

Enjoy the video capture of both days and explore the colloquium site!

Schedule & speaker biographies included.
