So I just got this fantastic shot in my email from friends at NCSU. Showcasing their newswall visualization area. Like they say a picture is worth let's say hundreds of thousands of words on this one!

Today the IU Provost and the Office of Scholarly Publishing are hosting an event in the IMU to get faculty input on new model scholarship and the relation to the new OSP and the IU Libraries.
So I just got back from London to discuss more about Kuali OLE with several groups including the Bloomsbury Library Management System Consortium and SCONUL. Saw many old friends () and met many new ones(). Will add pix here soon from my new samsung 802.11 camera.
The Kuali Open Library Environment received a $750,000 grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to develop an open, community-based library software system. OLE was launched in 2009 in part from a $2.3 million grant from the Mellon Foundation and is designed to help libraries manage and deliver an ever-increasing amount of digital resources and collections.
