On August 24, WKU Libraries kicked off the 2011 fall semester in Helm Library 100. Interim Dean Connie Foster briefed on the Libraries faculty and staff university policies regarding travel and talked about some house-clearing issues before a group photo was taken in the Java City by University Photographer Clinton Lewis. After a luncheon in the Cravens Library, library employees went back to Helm 100, where invited guest speaker Jason Griffey, Head of Library Information Technology of University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, gave a presentation named The Future Is Here. He gave an overview of where information technology will be in the future and how that is related to the services of the libraries and their needed changes to adapt to the technological development.
