We are excited to report that "Capturing and Processing Born-Digital Files in the STOP AIDS Project Records: A Case Study" has just been published in the Journal of Western Archives (2013) and is available online.

In September 2012, the Manuscripts Division of the Stanford University Libraries Department of Special Collections and University Archives completed a one-year National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC)-funded project to process the records of the STOP AIDS Project, an HIV prevention non-profit organization in San Francisco, California.

We would like to try a different approach to the Library Open House this year. While our enthusiasm and efforts were tremendous these last few years, we have not engaged as much of our community as we would like. Some current thoughts are:

• focus on a specific audience, probably undergrads
• hold an event in the evening, to attract students at a time convenient to them
• make the event fun, and on a smaller scale
• make the event more interactive, less presentational
• hold a series of events
Let's come together at a brainstorming meeting on Monday, May 6, 10-11:30, in the SSRC.

If you walk by the south entrance of Green Library between 1-3 pm, Monday through Friday, you may notice a new and exciting service offered by the Information Center. An extension of "roaming reference," we call it “Fountains of Information.”
