This summer, for instance, a team member recorded the final minutes of EA-Land, previously known as The Sims Online. Before the game was discontinued by publisher Electronic Arts, players’ avatars came together onscreen while the participants poured out emotions in text bubbles (“i think it’ll hit me when it’s gone”).
In der aktuellen Ausgabe des Stanford Magazine findet sich ein kleiner Artikel zu den Aktivitäten des ‘Preserving Virtual Worlds‘-Projektes der Library of Congress, das sich mit der Archivierung von Videospielen und virtuellen Welten beschäftigt und für meine Generation, die im mittleren Schulalter die Novembersonntage mit Leisure Suit Larry und Monkey Island verbrachte und erst Jahre später Schönheit und Reiz eines Real- and First-Life (RaFL)-Spaziergangs durch einen leicht puderzuckrig verschneiten Wald zu schätzen begann, wenigstens unter dem Aspekt der Erinnerungskultur (”digitale Nostalgie”) interessant ist. Sicher gibt es auch noch tausend andere gute Gründe, diese Facetten menschlicher Kultur zu langzeitarchivieren: Saving Worlds.

The Friends of the Library continues its support of the students this semester with free lectures and refreshments. Just last week, as a part of the Fabulous Faculty series, Joseph DeSimone encouraged students to think outside the box by reaching beyond their majors. He said the "most fertile ground for innovation lies between bridging fields like engineering and biology." He encouraged the audience to "believe in yourself and your work and to think big."
Join in helping the Friends of the Library feed our great students both in mind and body, by supporting the Student Enrichment Fund. With exams on the horizon, the Friends of the Library plans to provide snacks that will energize the students' late night study sessions. If you would like to contribute to the Student Enrichment Fund, please visit the Friends of the Library giving website or send a check to:

I kept hearing various rumblings of sandhill crane sightings from Arboretum staff and visitors, but I had yet to witness this fall’s migration. On Thursday and Friday of this week, I was fortunate to have been walking on both the east and west sides of the Arboretum and heard that distinctive call of the cranes. What a pleasure to see these incredible birds flying high overhead! Haven’t seen or heard the cranes yet this season? Make tracks for the Arboretum and keep your eyes on the sky!More details about the sandhill cranes can be found in these works within the collections of the Sterling Morton Library:Stone, Lynn M.

For many people, the word “genocide” brings to mind the horrific images of the Holocaust and the mind-numbing loss of lives that occurred during this dark period in World history.
That’s in the past, right? We are wiser now. Such a thing could never occur again?
