The USC Libraries Wonderland Award, now in its 9th year,       recently awarded five prizes to its second largest set of entrants ever.       In the Doheny Library lobby, an exhibition of a giant origami fractal       inspired and informed by library collections and built by 300 USC       community members, continues through commencement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I\u2019ve worked with Dean Quinlan and engaged more and more with the       libraries, it\u2019s become obvious that our libraries are ideal partners for       a project like this,\u201d said Oliver Mayer, professor of dramatic arts. \u201cOur       surprising, mini performances will occur in public areas on campus.       Sometimes they\u2019ll include a celebrity actor, or a special guest writer       who will compose the plays. The idea is to have fun while spreading the       word about the incredible resources that the USC Libraries bring to our       artists and scholars. And this is only the beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Munoz-Proulx, a graduate of the USC School of Dramatic Arts,       will direct the first flash play in the series. The performance, at a       specific time and location to be announced through Twitter       (@USCLibraries) and other social media, will take place near Doheny       Memorial Library during the week of April 22.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/GWLA.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=26bd5e59cec3d86d9d9d116b3&amp;id=ff3c9034a4&amp;e=8ae7263087\"> View original article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Introducing Elementa: Science of       the Anthropocene<\/p>\n<p>The new journal <a href=\"http:\/\/GWLA.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=26bd5e59cec3d86d9d9d116b3&amp;id=821b842e5c&amp;e=8ae7263087\" target=\"_self\"><em>Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene<\/em><\/a> began accepting submissions on May 15, 2013.

The summit was       held with the support of an IMLS\u00a0National Leadership Grant. The       grant seeks to discover and plan shared opportunities for the       institutional members both GWLA and GPN, through a partnership to       leverage their collective resources, skills, and services to meet the       challenges of computationally enhanced research.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Summit featured a keynote address by       Bill Michener of DataONE, and a panel discussion by representatives of       GWLA and GPN members regarding initiatives at their institutions. An       Advisory Council was also convened to develop a common vision and plan       for success.<\/p>\n<p>Leading up to the Summit, an extensive environmental scan was performed       to identify crucial areas to be considered and addressed in the second       and third phases of the grant. Based on the findings of the scan those       areas include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Emerging            national policies and practices with the accompanying need to            develop policy and practice at the institutional level;<\/li>\n<li>The            complexity of research data and the equally complex challenges we            seek to address;<\/li>\n<li>The            heterogeneous approach to institutional and disciplinary            repositories and associated approaches to data archiving and\/or            lifecycle management;<\/li>\n<li>Researchers\u2019            attitudes toward stewardship and data sharing;<\/li>\n<li>The            need to examine new roles for our institutions and to build new            communities of service and practice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The full <a href=\"http:\/\/GWLA.us2.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=26bd5e59cec3d86d9d9d116b3&amp;id=d3c2ad78b7&amp;e=8ae7263087\">Environmental Scan results<\/a> are available       online.

Our Relais implementation coordinator is in            contact with those institutions.<\/li>\n<li>Relais            is working with Atlas Systems to ensure that the necessary ILLiad            add-ons are fully functional in our system. Part of that process is            complete. Once we have confirmation that all is well, the GWLA            office will coordinate the purchase of the add-ons for the            consortium as a whole.<\/li>\n<li>Training            will begin once the production system is complete and the ILLiad            add-ons are deployed. Training will consist of a series of webinars            presented by Relais. It is possible that Relais, in conjunction with            the GWLA office may recruit an institution or two to help provide            &#8220;live&#8221; screen shots of the system in action. Stay tuned!<\/li>\n<li>The            training sessions will be recorded so that staff who cannot attend a            webinar may view them at a later time.<\/li>\n<li>Testing            will begin after the training is underway. Relais will provide a            testing &#8220;script&#8221; for each institution to work through.            This will ensure that all components at each site are functioning            properly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With the anticipation of training and       testing mode beginning soon, we should still easily make our projected       go-live of August 1!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Joint RSDD\/CD Meeting a Success<\/p>\n<p>The Resource Sharing and Document       Delivery, and Collection Development Committees held their joint meeting       May 6-8, 2013. The meeting was held in Austin at the Perry-Casta\u00f1eda       Library on the campus of the University of Texas.<\/p>\n<p>After a welcome by Fred Heath, Vice Provost and Director, UT libraries,       the keynote address was given by Georgia Harper, Scholarly Communications       Advisor, UT Libraries. Her talk was entitled:\u00a0<em>U.S. Copyright Law: How it       Helps &amp; Hinders the Work of Libraries in the Digital Age<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Harper&#8217;s talk       focused on where libraries get the rights to do what we do. She stated       that we provide a constellation of services, and rely on a variety of       sources of authority to do so. These sources of authority are different       for digital materials from the sources we rely on for analog works. She       provided an overview of what happens to the services that we provide       given this legal backdrop, focussing in particular on what happens to an       originally analog service, ILL, in the digital world of ebooks.<\/p>\n<p>Harper emphasized that we need to prepare ourselves for a role in the       libraries have to play in conversation that is beginning to take place       with the announcement that Congress will undertake a complete overhaul of       the Copyright Act. The pace of change has been phenomenal in the 37 years       since the Act was last comprehensively revised in 1976.<\/p>\n<p>The presentation included an exploration recent judgements (Georgia       State, Hathi Trust; Kirtsaeng, and others) which have set the tone for       the conversations which will take place. Some have been clear       vindications of current practices, while others have been ambiguous. A       lively discussion followed and set a clear tone for the remainder of the       meeting.<\/p>\n<p>A photo album from the Joint Meeting is available on <a href=\"http:\/\/GWLA.us2.list-manage2.com\/track\/click?u=26bd5e59cec3d86d9d9d116b3&amp;id=3bd840fb89&amp;e=8ae7263087\" target=\"_self\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td width=\"20\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"200\" valign=\"top\">\n<div>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"180\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" valign=\"top\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"5\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"155\"><a href=\"http:\/\/GWLA.us2.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=26bd5e59cec3d86d9d9d116b3&amp;id=896be861e5&amp;e=8ae7263087\" >Find us on Facebook<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"5\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"155\"><a href=\"http:\/\/GWLA.us2.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=26bd5e59cec3d86d9d9d116b3&amp;id=19352755ce&amp;e=8ae7263087\" >Forward this to a             friend<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"20\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"5\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"155\"><a href=\"http:\/\/us2.campaign-archive2.com\/?u=26bd5e59cec3d86d9d9d116b3&amp;id=fa3a386cb0&amp;e=8ae7263087\" >View email in a browser<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div>\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p>Upcoming Events&#8211;<br \/>\nSave the Dates!<\/p>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"http:\/\/GWLA.us2.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=26bd5e59cec3d86d9d9d116b3&amp;id=5fa901ccc2&amp;e=8ae7263087\" >View more events<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"42\" valign=\"top\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"42\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>JUN<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">19-21&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"10\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\">Science Bootcamp for Librarians (West)<br \/>\n<em>SOLD OUT!<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>University of Colorado, Boulder<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"42\" valign=\"top\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"42\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>JUN<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">28&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"10\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\">GWLA Collection Development Committee Meeting&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>ALA Annual Chicago<\/em><em><br \/>\n<em>2:30-4:00 p.m.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>McCormick Place S505a<\/em><\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"42\" valign=\"top\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"42\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>JUN<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">29&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"10\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\">GWLA Student Learning Outcomes Taskforce&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>ALA Annual Chicago<\/em><em><br \/>\n<em>1:00-2:30 p.m. Hilton Chicago<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Conference Room 4H<\/em><\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"42\" valign=\"top\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"42\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>JUN<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">30&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"10\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\">GWLA           RSDD Committee Meeting&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>ALA Annual Chicago<\/em><em><br \/>\n<em>1:30-3:00 p.m. Hilton Chicago<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Lake Ontario Room<\/em><\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"42\" valign=\"top\">\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"42\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"bottom\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>SEP<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">9-10&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"10\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"128\" valign=\"top\">GWLA Fall Membership Meeting, hosted by Utah State           University&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Logan, UT<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<hr size=\"2\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"180\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contact Us<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\"><strong>Joni         M.
