I thought you might ask that. Well, there is the <a href=\"http:\/\/langsdale.ubalt.edu\/news\/langsdale_link\/sp2008\/infolit.htm\">IDIS 110 Information Literacy<\/a> class that had me up late grading papers on at least one occasion.  More generally, librarians are among those who wonder how electronic documents that have historical significance, like <a href=\"http:\/\/langsdale.ubalt.edu\/news\/langsdale_link\/sp2008\/govdocs.htm\">government publications<\/a> for example, will be preserved.  The <span style=\"font-style: italic\">Link <\/span>also tackles the question of how students and scholars might be able to access scholarly journals in the future despite a <a href=\"http:\/\/langsdale.ubalt.edu\/news\/langsdale_link\/sp2008\/facarticles.htm\">dramatic rise in the costs of subscriptions<\/a> that has had the effect of limiting the amount of material that is available.<\/p>\n<p>Then there are the usual updates on goings on at Langsdale, such as the latest renovation news, some new books and a toolbar that could make library research a bit easier.  Most importantly, we have the last column from <a href=\"http:\/\/langsdale.ubalt.edu\/news\/langsdale_link\/sp2008\/index.htm\">Library Director Steve Labash<\/a>, who will be retiring this summer.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the flood happened too late to make it into this issue, but we seem to be mostly dry now.  In case you feel like you missed something, here is a picture of a few inches of water in the basement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/langsdale\/2296406196\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3021\/2296406196_c194a82094_m.jpg\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This semester&#8217;s Langsdale Link features a collection of articles about issues that keep librarians awake at night plus some updates on things going on in Langsdale.
