The national 12-university consortium called the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) announced a collective agreement June 6 to digitize select collections across all its libraries, up to 10 million volumes, as part of the Google Book Search project. "This partnership will allow for library digitization at a scale and scope that would not be possible with the limited means available to the individual universities," said Rodney Erickson, Penn State's executive vice president and provost. "This partnership will allow the universities to digitize collections in a few years that would have taken hundreds of years and many millions of dollars. Beyond the scope and speed of digitization made possible by this agreement, the libraries' intention to build a shared digital repository to house public domain materials is a ground-breaking collaboration. The repository will allow faculty, students and the broader public to immediately access the full content of all 12 universities' rich array of public domain holdings." (more)

Merwin and W.D. Snodgrass, and Reading-born John Updike. (more)

To reopen its restored and enhanced galleries, the Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University will present the groundbreaking exhibition "Part Object Part Sculpture," on view Oct. 30 to Feb. 26. Offering a new genealogy of art since World War II, in which repetition is organic instead of solely industrial, and sculpture appeals as much to the unconscious as to the intellect, the exhibition features nearly 100 works by international figures. The Penn State Press will co-publish a catalog of the exhibit. (more)
