April 15th kicks off National Library Week, and the Friends of the SLIS Laboratory Library are once again holding the annual Silent Auction to help raise funds for the Laboratory Library. You can do your part to help us improve the library by donating unique items and services to the
auction and bidding on the things donated by others!

New Yorker article on Google digitization project

Toobin, Jeffrey. Google's Moon Shot: The quest for the universal
library. The New Yorker. February 5, 2007.
