LAMP Institute 2010

It's another year and there's another project assistant in charge of the LAMP blog. I hope to continue to bring you news items about LAMP and broader issues related to diversity, technology, and the library world.

Also...it's almost time for the 4th Annual LAMP Summer Institute which will be held at Michigan State University in East Lansing from May 20-23, 2010. All current and past LAMP scholars are encouraged to attend. After all, it's free!

Here's where to register: http://www.lib.msu.edu/lamp/registration.jsp

I'll see you there!
