Guest lecture: Eric Lease Morgan is the Head of the Digital Access and Information Architecture Department at the University Libraries of Notre Dame

Title

Computing 'N Libraries: It's not about books

Eric Lease Morgan is the Head of the Digital Access and Information Architecture Department at the University Libraries of Notre Dame where he and his co-workers help the Libraries "do stuff digital". He considers himself to be a librarian first and a computer user second. His professional goal is to discover new ways to use computers to provide better library service. Some of his more well-known investigations and implementations include MyLibrary (a customizable interface to library websites), the Alex Catalogue of Electronic Texts (a collection of public domain texts), and the Mr. Serials Process (a system for collecting electronic journals). An advocate for open source software and open access publishing, Eric has been freely distributing his software and publications for years before the terms "open source" and "open access" were coined. In his copious spare time, Eric can be seen folding defective floppy disks into intricate origami flora and fauna.
