The Scholarly Communication Lecture Series (formerly the Digital Library Lecture Series) is presented by Kelvin Smith Library each year on topics related to digital libraries and digital preservation, as well as on research using digital techniques in the humanities and other subject areas. Leading digital library experts and scholars in their fields have been invited to speak at the series. The lectures are free of charge to the Case Western Reserve University community and to the Ohio academic and library communities, and are generously funded by the Mario M. Morino Fund for the Innovation and Application of Advanced Information Technologies and the David R. Bender Endowment Fund for Library Staff Development. The 2008/09 series was co-sponsored by the Baker-Nord Center for the Humanities.
