Today Friday the 16th 2007, the 2,500th item was added to the Digital Library. From the Sherman-Thackara Collection, it is a letter written from Ellie Sherman to her mother Ellen Ewing Sherman in 1885.

The count of items in the entire Digital Library is updated as each item is added to the collection and is viewable.

The latest issue of Compass has a Blue Electrode article written by our own Teri Ann Incrovato.

The primary Digital Library scanning facility has moved from the Rare Book Room located on the 2nd floor of Falvey Memorial Library to the Slide Library located on the same floor. This location will serve as the permanent home to the Indus Planetary scanner and the site of much of the work in the Digital Library, as well as continuing to house and provide access to the Villanova Slide Collection.
