This blog will officially become dormant. I am not planning on deleting anything, but I do not plan on adding anything in the future either. For science and technology related news, take a look at the sciencelibrary.org website. For news and information related to the Penrose Library at the University of Denver, take a look at the Penrose Pen and/or the Good Answers blogs.

Penrose Library now has over 1,000,000 records with URLs in our catalog. We tagged the book (Computers and Education: E-Learning from Theory to Practice) which broke the barrier using the subject tag "millionth url".
