I am trying to get caught up and change gears...

I am going to change the focus of this blog to be more directed toward matters that might interest college and university archivists. I will still add interesting links on the right. It will be busy for a while since I have taken a vacation from my one-person shop leaving me three weeks behind after taking one week off. Those of you that know, understand....

If anyone reads this that has news of their shop that they'd like linked please forward it along and I will gladly post it.
