New York Philharmonic Historical Data now available online

The New York Philharmonic has launched a new Web site that will allow users to search for historical data about the orchestra. You can read Daniel J. Wakin's article in the New York Times, "Philharmonic Puts Its History by the Numbers Online," here. Thanks to Kirstin Dougan of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for bringing attention to this article by posting about it as well.

Good article on staying current

My colleague at The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Kirstin Dougan, wrote an informative article on staying current with news and developments in higher education, libraries, music and arts, and technology. I recommend it to anyone who would like some tips on where to begin.
