My colleague Conny van Bezu interviewed him:

Stories of #Frisia is an interactive map that connects places in the northern #Netherlands and northwest #Germany to books from our #SpecialCollections.
The books contain traces of previous owners or users, e.g., handwritten names or notes. They tell stories about the rich cultural and intellectual history of this region, which was once called Frisia.

Do you read #Norwegian or #Spanish? My colleague José María Izquierdo Paredes writes about the #CorpusHermeticum of which we just digitized two copies from our #SpecialCollections at the #UniversityOfOslo library: https://www.enmitg.com/wordpress/?p=2345.
There's some #DanBrown #TheDaVinciCode references in there, too. In the blog post, that is ;) -

Yesterday, I toured the Archives at UW-Milwaukee which had a recent renovation. The new classroom is set up for hybrid learning and has flexible learning pods with screens, which can be controlled at the table, with the student laptop and the controller on the right of the screen, or from the instructor station. Each table has a directed sound system so sound can play individually at each table (again, controlled by the students or the instructor). #ALISE2023 #archives #SpecialCollections
