by Carrie Hintz
Some of you are having technical difficulties getting set up on the blog. Do not worry; I can help you when we meet tomorrow–either in class or during my office hours.
Melanie Locay has sent the following link to an NPR story of potential interest to all:
For Biographers, The Past Is An Open (Electronic) Book http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2013/09/04/216144853/for-biographers-the-past-is-an-open-electronic-book
