Grants, wiki workshops, and training sessions
Congratulations to Diana Park. Her proposal for the 2019 Institute for Research Design in Librarianship was accepted. The conference will be held in LA this June.
Thanks to a grant from the U.G. Dubach Chair in Political Science Endowment at OSU, the OSU Press was able to send a copy of Governing Oregon to all members of the Oregon House of Representatives and the Oregon Senate. It was covered by the Albany Democrat-Herald.
LEAD, in conjunction with LAMP, have planned a day-long confluence documentation event – the Wonderful Wiki Workshop. It’s scheduled for the 28th of March from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Autzen Classroom. Snacks will be available.
The BennyBuy team is hosting new personalized training sessions. This training will be in one-hour blocks on Thursdays from 10-11 a.m. in their offices in the Kerr Administration Building (room A012). You can sign up for this training on their website.

Can you guess the animal’s person?
This is the clumsiest cat ever. He likes to fall off of things – laps, landings, all types of things. Thankfully, he doesn’t appear to be harmed when this happens. He also tends to think he’s a dog: he greets people at the door, expects everyone to pet him, eats all of the food off the floor, and chases the other cats. He tends to be a bit of a jerk, and lays in the middle of the stairs in an effort to try and kill the humans in the house.
Answers can be shared with colleagues and guessed among the office. Last week’s cat duo were Larry Landis’ friends Ripley and Squeaker.
A new section for the newsletter. Thanks to the ingenuity (or inanity) of our students and the thoughtfulness of our staff to catch some things in picture form, we have a new section of the weekly newsletter. The goal here will be to guess where these things took place, or just to marvel at the going-on’s across the building.
Answers will be shared in the next edition of the newsletter. Last week’s picture was of the loading dock.
