university

John Bickar from the Cubberley Education Library at Stanford University gave a talk called Highlighting Library Collections. Here are my notes:

One of the first things I was tasked to do was to convert our library's static HTML site to Drupal.

My university, Carnegie Mellon, is the 6th most expensive US college for undergraduates. According to the article, 2008-2009 tuition and fees run $39,564 -- and that doesn't include room and board. According to Forbes:

...the school estimates its cost of attendance to be $52,150

The most recent Simpsons episode mentioned Carnegie Mellon University, where I'm a student. CMU even issued a press release, noting that the reference was probably due to "Carnegie Mellon’s reputation as an academically demanding university."

Well, you can judge for yourself:

I attend Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley, an extension of the main CMU campus located in a restored naval building on Moffett Field. Our campus currently hosts about 100 students and only a dozen or so professors, and this small size allows us to adopt new social media applications faster than a larger campus with a more complex organization.
