Every spring at Stanford, BeWell@Stanford and the Health Improvement Program co-sponsor a Wellness Fair. This year’s event will be held on March 16 from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Arrillaga Center for Sports and Recreation. The event theme will be Spotlight on Wellness, with a special health focus on having a restful night’s sleep. It will be a red carpet event for everyone! See our event flyer, here.

On Monday, March 7th, there will be a Fine Facsimile Open House with Giovanni Scorcioni, facsimile edition expert and founder of Facsimile Finder. The Open House will take place from 9:30 am-11:45 am in the Barchas Room of Special Collections in Green Library. From 9:40 am-10:00 am, Giovanni will present a new software he is developing with Western Michigan University to help libraries make their facsimile collections easily discoverable.

Today, we stand at the very edge of a vast, uncharted digital landscape, where our collective memory is stored in ephemeral bits and bytes and lives in air-conditioned server rooms. What sources will historians turn to in 100, let alone 1,000 years to understand our own time if all of our memory lives in digital codes that may no longer be decipherable?

Last month, the University announced $801.6 million was raised during fiscal year 2015. Join Gabrielle Karampelas, Director of Development and Communications for Stanford Libraries, and Sonia Lee, Associate Director of Development for the  Libraries, as they discuss SUL's fundraising efforts, goals and most recent results.
