Editor’s Update: Spring is a time for April Showers

Spring is a time for April showers, baseball, graduations, and Lehigh Reunion weekend. We touch on all of these topics in this issue of the LTS Connection. April showers (yea, even thunder and lightning) appropriately accompanied HPC Day with its focus on the use of massively parallel computers for climate modeling.

The article on the Electronic Dissertation and Theses Program (EDP) describes how Lehigh graduate students are now submitting these documents electronically. Electronic versions of dissertations have been linked to the ASA online catalog record since 1997 but they were scanned from print rather than “born digital.” This year was the first for the transition to electronic document submission for all graduate students.

At Reunion this year Library and Technology Services will be providing a demonstration of the new Brown and White Digital Archive also highlighted in this issue. Stop in on Saturday, May 16th about 11 am in Linderman Library to see it. The Archive covers all issues up to the year 2000. Did you notice that we skipped baseball in the newsletter lineup?

That will come soon too, in time for the World Series if not before. A recent gift from Lehigh Alumnus Eric Simonsen ’67, ‘71G is comprised of Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) publications: 35 monographs, two journals, and newsletters, etc. The collection will be cataloged over the summer and available on the shelves of Linderman Library! Watch for the fall 2009 newsletters with more details.
