[Clip from "So I Married an Axe Murderer"] (SINGING) [INAUDIBLE] [MUSIC PLAYING] JOHN JOHNSON: Hello, everyone. I am a park ranger, and I will be leading you on the tour. All of the park rangers here at Alcatraz were at one time guards, myself included. My name is John Johnson, but everyone here calls me Vicky. Will you please follow me. TONY GIARDINO: I love Vicky. He's a great guy. CHARLIE MACKENZIE: He's the best. [THEME MUSIC] CHARLIE BENNETT: You are listening to WREK Atlanta, and this is Lost in the Stacks, the research library rock and roll radio show. Hey, Cody, there's nothing in my headphones. CODY TURNER: Oh, you're not wearing headphones. CHARLIE BENNETT: I'm not. I am Charlie Bennett in the studio with a big old gang. I'm just-- we're going to name everybody later. Each week on Lost in the Stacks, we pick a theme and then use it to create a mix of music and library talk. Whichever you are here for, we hope you dig it. ALEX MCGEE: Our show today is called "The Scholars Event Theater." This is our first GT Library Guidebook episode of the school year. FRED RASCOE: And during the spring and fall semesters, on the first Friday of each month, we visit a site in the guidebook and talk about a space or service in the Georgia Tech Library. MARLEE GIVENS: Our site today is a space for academic events in the Georgia Tech Library-- lectures, film viewings, panel discussions, workshops, author talks, and plenty more. FRED RASCOE: We've even recorded a few Lost in the Stacks interviews in there. CHARLIE BENNETT: Episodes 636, 592, and 574 if you're curious. ALEX MCGEE: The Scholars Event Theater is a key piece of our public programming at the library, so we have the public programming librarian and the events manager here in the studio to talk about the space and why we have it. FRED RASCOE: And our songs today, well, a lot of these are going to be about rock shows. If you think about it, a big academic event has some similarities with a rock and roll concert. CHARLIE BENNETT: Just lean into it, Fred. FRED RASCOE: If you stretch it a little bit. So there's interesting people being brought together at a rock show and an academic event. There's sharing your work with an audience. There's often applause. Maybe at the academic event, there's more PowerPoints and not as many mosh pits. CHARLIE BENNETT: And you're not going to convince Cody this way. FRED RASCOE: It's not a perfect metaphor, but it's a metaphor that I'm going to keep rocking with nonetheless. So let's strike up the band and start with "When Johnny Strikes up the Band" by Warren Zevon right here on Lost in the Stacks. [MUSIC PLAYING] ALEX MCGEE: That was "When Johnny Strikes up the Band" by Warren Zevon-- Zevon? CODY TURNER: Zevon! ALEX MCGEE: Zevon! CODY TURNER: Oh my gosh. ALEX MCGEE: I'm a Millennial. What can I say? Our show today is called "The Scholars Event Theater." It's the ninth in our Georgia Tech Library Guidebook series. MARLEE GIVENS: On the first Friday of each month, we visit a site from the guidebook featuring a space or service in the Georgia Tech Library, and our guides today are Catherine Manci and Felicia Kornegay, both from the Georgia Tech Library. CHARLIE BENNETT: Catherine is the public programming and community engagement librarian, and Felicia is the events manager. They are most of the events team at the Georgia Tech Library. Welcome back and welcome to the show. CATHERINE MANCI: Thank you. CHARLIE BENNETT: Both of you can get up closer to those mics. They're not going to hurt you I promise. CATHERINE MANCI: OK. CHARLIE BENNETT: So one of the things we like to do with the guidebook is we start with let's place people in the library. Where is the theater? When you walk in, where do you see it, and what's in it? FELICIA KORNEGAY: The Scholars Event Theater is on the - CATHERINE MANCI: - first floor of the Price Gilbert Library. The doors open up to the first floor reading room, and when you walk in, you see this beautiful mid-century wood paneled space. It is named theater. It's not really a theater. It's just a big room. But when you walk in, typically you'll see it set up theater style so 70 seats or maybe classroom style, about 50 seats and a huge screen in the front of the room. CHARLIE BENNETT: And I always love the giant windows. CATHERINE MANCI: The best windows. CHARLIE BENNETT: And what else can you see if you say-- I'm going to lead you through this one. If you look up after you walk into the theater, what do you see? FELICIA KORNEGAY: Well, there's a balcony upstairs that for standing room only. Probably about 30, 35 people can stand up there. CHARLIE BENNETT: Yeah. And if you're part of the radio show, you will also see the control room-- FELICIA KORNEGAY: That's right. CHARLIE BENNETT: Hidden back. It's much bigger than I ever expected the library theater to be. Do you have a favorite part of it or a least favorite part of it? CATHERINE MANCI: Oh, of the theater? CHARLIE BENNETT: Yeah. No, not the whole library. FELICIA KORNEGAY: My favorite part is downstairs because that's mostly where things happen. And we can be a little creative with it. We can decorate it for receptions. My thing is aesthetic. So we can decorate it for receptions, or it can just be very vanilla with theater style seating and set up for a symposium or a lecture. CHARLIE BENNETT: So what kind of stuff does happen in there? I've now heard reception and symposium, and there was some kind of event in there. It was filled with students this morning. What kind of thing happens in the theater? FELICIA KORNEGAY: So the theater is reversible for scholarly, public facing events hosted by Georgia Tech. The things that happen in there are author talks, film screenings, panel discussions, symposiums, and sometimes meetings. Receptions, yeah. CHARLIE BENNETT: Sometimes meetings. CATHERINE MANCI: The important town halls happen in the Scholars Event Theater, so if you've been to an important Georgia Tech town hall, it's typically in our space. CHARLIE BENNETT: What's the last event that you had to deal with in the immediate? FRED RASCOE: I remember the most recent town hall was about research at Georgia Tech. I think that was just within the last week, right? CATHERINE MANCI: Yeah. This was last week. FELICIA KORNEGAY: But Lisa Tuttle's event, that's pretty big. The author celebration, isn't it? CHARLIE BENNETT: Tell me about that. CATHERINE MANCI: We do a yearly Georgia Tech author celebration in the Scholars Event Theater, and we do that with the EVPR, executive vice provost for research. And we celebrate anyone at Georgia Tech who's published a book in the past two years, scholarly and non-scholarly, which has been fun. CHARLIE BENNETT: Nice. So part-- I can feel you all not wanting to go down a list of things that have happened in there, but let's talk about what the point of it is. Why are we having events in there? What kind of thing-- and what kind of thing do you have to say no to? FELICIA KORNEGAY: So the library hosts events as an outreach opportunity to support the greater Georgia Tech community. So as long as we're in scope within our spaces, the Scholars Event Theater, almost anybody can host. And a lot of people on campus are not aware that we're there, but they're finding out because it's starting to get booked quite a bit. CATHERINE MANCI: Yeah. And I think sometimes when I tell people I'm a librarian who works on events, that's confusing to them because they have this really old school idea of a library, just a room with books. But we are really in the business of scholarship and thinking about how we can take the scholarship from realistically it's in books, but it's largely in academic articles nowadays. How do we take that and bring it to bigger audiences? That is a really key component of libraries, and that's what we do with events. We facilitate that happening on campus. And so a lot of Georgia Tech research is presented to an audience in the Georgia Tech Library, which I think makes a lot of sense. It's the same as putting your book on a shelf but just in a person-to-person way. CHARLIE BENNETT: I remember recently-- and I'm looking at my colleagues from academic engagement-- we had to go through all of the scholarships that one could engage in, sometimes for promotion, sometimes just for goodwill. I remember scholarship of presentation. I really enjoyed seeing that. FRED RASCOE: Yeah, there's all kinds of scholarship as Catherine was saying. It's not just you write something and it ends up stuck on a library shelf or a digital shelf. Because if that were the case, there would be a lot of ignored scholarship out there. And so a place like the event theater is a way to-- I guess it's maybe trite or cliché to say bring it alive, but it is much more engaging. If you're in the room with somebody that's talking about doing the research thing that you did, there is a much more lively and engaging element to that. CHARLIE BENNETT: Yeah. CATHERINE MANCI: And I think a piece of it that is really important is it also gives us a really specific opportunity to invite other players into these conversations about how scholarship then is implemented in the world. And so we have people from the city of Atlanta come. We have people from the state of Georgia. We have the consulate for all sorts of different countries that are invited into these conversations. And so to me it's also a springboard like how does this scholarship then start to be implemented into the real world so that it doesn't just sit on a shelf. It can become something that is actionable. And events really facilitate those connections. It's an opportunity to bring people together. FELICIA KORNEGAY: We also recently just had Jaylen Brown from the Celtics. That was exciting as well. So-- CHARLIE BENNETT: Talking about what? FELICIA KORNEGAY: Well, he really was talking about his STEM program and-- that he has it at MIT and different things. People thought he was just going to talk about basketball but just his ideals about life. It was very interesting. And he's a young man. He's 28. It was-- he's an old soul. He was very exciting. MARLEE GIVENS: So being scholarly is one of your main criteria. Have you defined what you mean by scholarship? CATHERINE MANCI: That is a really good question. For the-- CHARLIE BENNETT: In the last minute of this segment. Go ahead. Get it all out. CATHERINE MANCI: I will say what we typically-- the way we define it is we say is a Georgia Tech entity working on this and that is-- that helps us define it. And typically that is the mission of the university, and so that covers us. CHARLIE BENNETT: I think we're going to have to dig into that in the next segment. FRED RASCOE: This is Lost in the Stacks, and we'll be back with more about the Scholars Event Theater after a music set. ALEX MCGEE: File this set under PE1128.R442. [MUSIC PLAYING] ALEX MCGEE: That was "Talent Is an Asset" by Sparks and before that "Lecture 25" by my new band Believe, songs about sharing talents and ideas with others. [MUSIC PLAYING] MARLEE GIVENS: This is Lost in the Stacks, and today's show is called "The Scholars Event Theater." It's another episode for our Georgia Tech Library Guidebook. FRED RASCOE: Our guests today are the team from the team that manages the Georgia Tech Library Scholars Event Network. Boy. CHARLIE BENNETT: You're just riffing all over the place, aren't you? FRED RASCOE: We could-- this might not be something that we want to talk about, but I think there was a time when it was called the Scholars Event Network. CHARLIE BENNETT: And the Scholars Event Network Theater then the Scholars Event Network breakout rooms-- FRED RASCOE: And I'm still in that mode. So let me say my line properly to introduce this segment. Our guests today are from the team that manages the Georgia Tech Library Scholars Event Theater along with many other job responsibilities. CHARLIE BENNETT: Catherine Manci is the public programming and community engagement librarian, and Felicia Kornegay is the events manager. I want to dig into that events manager a bit-- a little bit. FELICIA KORNEGAY: OK. CHARLIE BENNETT: What goes on with one of the events in the theater? What do you have to manage? What's some of the nitty gritty? FELICIA KORNEGAY: So there-- with events-- have been doing events for four years. They're-- CHARLIE BENNETT: Not at the library. FELICIA KORNEGAY: Not at the library. Here I've been two years, so I'm two years new. So there are a myriad of things in terms of event management that goes on. So somebody will book the space, our team approves this space, and then we usually do a walkthrough with the patron to find out what they'll need in terms of if they're having any food, how many people they'll have, what the room setup will need to be, if they need any additional furniture for speakers, AV in terms of how many mics they'll need, if they're having a PowerPoint, if it's hybrid, or if it's all in person. CHARLIE BENNETT: Do you get some people who come into that walkthrough with no idea of what they need? FELICIA KORNEGAY: So there's a-- yeah, pretty much everybody. But then we get a lot of people who don't understand why do I need to do a walkthrough. I teach class every day. I know how to use the equipment. But it's the space, and each space is a little bit different. So just for familiarity with any event, you should be familiar with what you're walking into and not walk into it the day of because it could be a catastrophe. So my thing is I encourage people to do a walk through because it's always the optics. You can have an event, and your event can break because you don't know which way to go in. But if you had done the walk through, you would know immediately when you and your team walk through what you're going to do. CHARLIE BENNETT: And you're being literal and figurative there for which way you need to go. FELICIA KORNEGAY: Yes. CHARLIE BENNETT: Yeah. Catherine, do you have something to add? I feel like you do. CATHERINE MANCI: Well, I'll just add that a piece of this service that people don't always think about is that expertise that Felicia and the team brings. The people who organize events around campus are not all event coordinators. Occasionally they are. They're amazing. We love working with them, but a lot of them are just people who work at Georgia Tech who want to put on an event. So it's really an educational role when you think about it, and that's what the walk through does for us is to help facilitate this public scholarship and to educate people through that process on how to do that really well. FRED RASCOE: What's the most common thing that a person booking the space didn't realize they needed an event manager for? You were saying, Catherine, they come in, and they think, well, I've taught classes. I probably understand how to do this. But when they get there, there's new factors. So what's a common thing that people don't realize they need you for, Felicia? FELICIA KORNEGAY: I think a lot of people don't think about the timing of their event. If you're in this space say from 1:00 to 3:00, well, you need to understand what you need to be doing every step of the way. So in the events world, that's called a run of show. So that's something that you want to create early on, and then from at 1:00, my caterer's arriving. At 1:30, AV arrives, and you're going to set me up. At 2:00, the event starts, and from negative 2:00 to 3:00, we're done. We're going to have questions and answers at the end. We're going to pass the mic and things like that. So you can pass that out to your team so that everybody can reference it and everybody's on the same page the day of. Otherwise, some people have come in, and they're like, oh, I don't need to walk through. And it's willy nilly. It's all over the place, and then it's like, oh my God, it's 3:00 and we're going to go until 4:00. CHARLIE BENNETT: So doing the show for as long as I have, I've ended up using the script form of the show to define my events, which often has you have to be done with this segment by this time. It's not, oh, we're going to do 15 minutes of this and then 10 minutes of that and then 10 minutes of that. It's more like these mileposts have to be done with the intro by this time, have to be done with the segment by this time. And sometimes a teacher will be looking at me funny, and I'll realize that I've been calling each part of the class a segment. And so at the end of this segment and they're like what are you talking about. I was like I'm sorry. I'm talking about radio. Are you willing to share any disasters that have happened in the theater, something really terrible? FELICIA KORNEGAY: I don't think we've had any disasters. I think that people have come and maybe-- don't do that, Catherine. [LAUGHTER] FRED RASCOE: Catherine definitely made a face when you said that.. CHARLIE BENNETT: That's why I said willing to share. CATHERINE MANCI: I can share a few. FELICIA KORNEGAY: Go ahead. Yeah. I can't-- I really can't think where it's-- a disaster. We don't do disasters. CATHERINE MANCI: Usually-- CHARLIE BENNETT: Good attitude. CATHERINE MANCI: We catch the balls before they hit the ground. It's like juggling. But every once in a while, people really throw a curveball and they'll show up and they'll say, oh, by the way, one of our speakers is hybrid-- is going to be online. And also there are videos. And how are we going to see that person if they're on the screen behind us. And that AV piece is really essential. And we have gotten really good at figuring out the AV and we have some amazing colleagues that work in the AV space, but helping people conceptualize all those things happening at once, that's where it has turned into a disaster where they just don't quite understand what all needs to be happening and that you need multiple people to manage events that are livestreamed and in person. CHARLIE BENNETT: Feels like an on demand culture at this point like, oh yeah, well, so we'll just bring them up on the screen. CATHERINE MANCI: Right. And it's poor-- our poor colleague, sometimes he's just in there sweating blood because they're just throwing curveballs left and right. But usually we catch that nowadays, and we've gotten really good at that. CHARLIE BENNETT: Nice. Alex, I'm going to throw this mic over to you. ALEX MCGEE: You are listening to Lost in the Stacks, and we'll hear more about the Scholars Event Theater at the Georgia Tech Library on the left side of the hour. [MUSIC PLAYING] ROBYN HITCHCOCK: Hello. I'm the life form known as Robyn Hitchcock, and you are you. And you are listening to Lost in the Stacks on WREK Atlanta. Have a nice day. And on the eighth day, when he had rested, he created darkness. CHARLIE BENNETT: Today's show is called "The Scholars Event Theater." For our mid-show break, I went digging in the documents of the Library Next Project, the research and design process that led to the renewed and re-imagined Georgia Tech Library. I found the first proposal of the Scholars Event Theater in very rough draft from March of 2014. At that time it was called Scholars Event Hub. Provide dedicated spaces for faculty, students, and staff to host events on research, teaching, and learning with services to support the before and after of the event such as presentation archives. How it works, a small hub for research, teaching, and learning events-- so design documents are pretty redundant-- such as symposia, speaker series, dissertation defenses, and meetups. Adds to the portfolio of spaces available on campus for faculty, students, and staff to share their work and meet with peers. Value to Georgia Tech, encourages Georgia Tech to share their work and increases amount of work shared. I almost forgot that there was some very straightforward ideas that we actually made happen in this design. File this set under ML3795.S82. [MUSIC PLAYING] MARLEE GIVENS: "There's Going to Be Some Rocking" by AC/DC and before that "We're an American Band" by Grand Funk Railroad, songs about bringing people together for a big event. [MUSIC PLAYING] ALEX MCGEE: This is Lost in the Stacks, and you are listening to part 9 of our series, the Georgia Tech Library Guidebook. Today's episode is all about the Scholars Event Theater, not network, and the Georgia Tech Library. MARLEE GIVENS: And our guests are part of the team that handles most of what happens in the Scholars Event Theater, Catherine Manci and Felicia Kornegay. We are wondering why in-person events still seem to matter, still seem to be so in demand in this post-COVID, post-everything 2025. CATHERINE MANCI: Well, there was a moment in 2020 where it felt like, oh my gosh, we have this big theater, and everyone only wants to attend events online. And that attendance was really high for about a year. And then it really fell off. I think we all just hit our max of how many virtual events and things we could attend. And so I think in recent-- in the past maybe year or two years, there has been a desire to get people together in the same room. It's really nice to have a room with a capacity to do both. But there is something special about sharing space. You can access almost anything online now. Any speaker in the world you want to hear, you can just go on YouTube and watch them. And that's similar feeling to being on a livestream. But it's really special to be in the same space with someone. And so we're seeing that become popular again, and I think there's something to be said for living in both the digital world and also the physical world. CHARLIE BENNETT: I feel like there's a lot of the right before the event and right after the event is really important. CATHERINE MANCI: Yes. CHARLIE BENNETT: I was on a virtual meeting yesterday as I am every day, and it clicked on. So I hit the button. Sure I'll join. And the first five minutes before the meeting itself started, that was the best time I had, just chatting, bouncing things around. And everybody was real cheery. At the end of the meeting when we said, well, thanks, everybody. And then just boom, it just died because someone turned off the meeting room. And after the event, lingering, asking questions, bumping into people, that's a really key part of processing. FELICIA KORNEGAY: It is so-- because people get to network. People get to collaborate for a second and say, hey, maybe we should do coffee later and talk about this project more. So the personal aspect as humans, we like to use our senses, our sight, our smell, our touch. And you don't get to have that when you're just behind the screen. And so it's very important. I think 2020 after COVID, people were eager to get back into space again. So our spaces are bursting at the seams right now, and the SEN is beautiful. It is really a beautiful space. CHARLIE BENNETT: Yeah, I think sometimes the looking people in the eye when you're talking to them, when you're delivering your work, seeing them respond even if it's maybe a little confusion or this person in the front's bored, it transforms it-- Alex just laughed at that-- it transforms the presentation. It transforms the moment. It makes it into-- Oh, gosh, there's this thing in emergent strategy about this conversation can only happen in this room now at this moment because of the interaction with the audience. Marlee, you and I talk a lot about teaching and presenting being like stand up comedy. MARLEE GIVENS: Yes, we do. [LAUGHTER] CHARLIE BENNETT: And that's because of podcasts, and comedians talking about their process so much. But the idea that I'm not just talking at you. We are all together making a thing happen is key to why an in-person event is still important. MARLEE GIVENS: Yeah, when we were talking-- we were talking about how do we assess our library instruction, and one of the first things that someone said was we can do a vibe check. You can tell in the room just through your senses that something is happening and something is getting through. But, again, the hybrid aspect does make it more accessible for people who can't get there in person, and I think that's something to keep in mind. Yeah, there's nothing like that spark of the-- being in the room where something happens, but, yeah, I think it is nice that we're able to open it up. CHARLIE BENNETT: And we only have two minutes left in the segment, so I think it's time to go back to that question why present scholarship. We can do that in two minutes, right? CATHERINE MANCI: Sure. CHARLIE BENNETT: I feel like sometimes people resist or they think a presentation is a lesser form of delivering scholarship. But I think that having to give a talk to a group that is not vetted, that is-- one, is present and can yawn at you if they need to but also may not be the people doing the same work as you, I think that's a key part of the scholarship of presentation. And I hand that off to you all to respond to. [LAUGHTER] Everybody's looking at me like I'm giving a talk. I'm not giving a talk. FRED RASCOE: Yeah, they've just attended your presentation. Now it's up to them to distill and synthesize. CHARLIE BENNETT: Thanks, everybody for coming to my Ted Talk. MARLEE GIVENS: Yep. Yeah. And when you write an article, you picture your-- you have no idea really who's reading it, but you do picture a certain audience, that someone is going to choose to come to this journal and read this article because they're in that world and that's-- they know that they're part of the audience. But when you walk into somebody's conference or something like that and people have just-- they have nothing else to do at 2:55 or whatever and so they come in and they're not the audience that you imagined when you put that talk together. And sometimes it's really fun to get that spontaneous reaction from someone who had no idea what you were going to talk about and is now part of the group. ALEX MCGEE: Yeah, so I love giving presentations. That's my favorite form of scholarship. And I think it's because of what everyone's talking about. The people in the room, you don't know who you're going to get. I actually just gave a presentation at SAA couple of weeks ago, and the groans-- the painful groans from people in the audience when you say something depressing, which maybe mine took a depressing turn at times or the huh when you're like but here's how we combat this, you're getting real-time reaction to something which you don't get that when you're writing. And then you get the conversations afterwards where people come up and talk to you or we get the Q&A, immediate Q&A, where we're engaging with each other live, where my session, it was people talking about university archives and student belonging, but we all had different takes of what we were doing and how we were doing this work and putting us all in conversation immediately. That doesn't happen with a book or chapters. You, the reader, you may get an afterword where you're having to work through that or you're summarizing your thoughts yourself, but it's just different in person. FRED RASCOE: I guess it's a little more rewarding than getting a thumbs up emoji on a Zoom too. This is Lost in the Stacks, and today we visited the Scholars Event Theater for the Georgia Tech Library Guidebook. CHARLIE BENNETT: Our guests were Catherine Manci, the public programming and community engagement librarian, and Felicia Kornegay, the events manager at the Georgia Tech Library. Thanks y'all for being on the show. FELICIA KORNEGAY: Thank you. CATHERINE MANCI: Thank you. ALEX MCGEE: File this set under GT3405.A54. [MUSIC PLAYING] FRED RASCOE: "Rock Show" by Wings and before that "Set the Stage" by Lunar Vacation. Those are songs about what's on stage and the people working behind the scenes to make it happen. [MUSIC PLAYING] CHARLIE BENNETT: Today's Lost in the Stacks, an episode of the GT Library Guidebook, was called "The Scholars Event Theater." And talking about presentations makes me wonder what's the last presentation you delivered, everyone in the room, academic or otherwise. My last presentation was an attempt to convince my son that school was a good thing and that you should go to it for spiritual and mental development. FRED RASCOE: That sounds a very recent presentation that was delivered. CHARLIE BENNETT: Still shaking from doing it this morning. FRED RASCOE: Did you get some good in-person feedback in real time? CHARLIE BENNETT: Fred, why don't you tell us about your last presentation? [LAUGHTER] FRED RASCOE: I guess can it be a class that did them drop an instruction on-- why not, right? I did a virtual class for some electrical engineering students. Their professor requested a class on avoiding plagiarism and citing sources correctly, and I did a co-presentation on that with another librarian, Bette Finn. And so did not have the in-person feel unfortunately but there was a very nice email from the professor afterwards, the thanks the students got a lot out of it. So all right. MARLEE GIVENS: I was thinking about when's the last time I presented in person, and I was very pleased to realize that my last in-person presentation was in the Scholars Event Theater during an event that we hold every year called The Dossier Rodeo. Cody, have you given a presentation? CODY TURNER: Yeah, the last presentation I gave was event related to a group of people that would be introducing artists. So the presentation was how to introduce and make people excited for an artist that no one in the room has ever heard of. CHARLIE BENNETT: That's so meta. Let's go to our guests. Felicia, what's the last presentation you gave? FELICIA KORNEGAY: The last presentation I did also was in the Scholars Event Theater to my colleagues for RATS Night, which is our-- one of my favorite events, recently acquired tech students. CATHERINE MANCI: My last presentation was to the School of Architecture for their new student convocation, and I presented with two other colleagues from the library in a theater that was not the Scholars Event Theater. ALEX MCGEE: So I already talked about my essay presentation, but I actually gave one yesterday to the Ramblin' Reck Club on their history and a bit about the archives and what we have on them. Roll credits. [MUSIC PLAYING] MARLEE GIVENS: Lost in the Stacks is a collaboration between WREK Atlanta and the Georgia Tech Library, written and produced by Alex McGee, Charlie Bennett, Fred Rascoe, and Marlee Givens. ALEX MCGEE: Legal counsel and a walkthrough with Nathan Dodson, the events coordinator who couldn't be here today, were provided by the Burrus Intellectual Property Law Group in Atlanta, Georgia. FRED RASCOE: Special thanks to Catherine and Felicia for being on the show, to everybody who has presented in the Scholars Event Theater since it opened lo so many years ago, and thanks as always to each and every one of you for listening. ALEX MCGEE: Our web page is library.gatech.edu/LostInTheStacks, where you'll find our most recent episode, a link to our podcast feed, and a web form if you want to get in touch with us. MARLEE GIVENS: For next week's show, it's a nostalgia bomb. We're going to reflect on our first experiences with libraries, librarians, archivists, and archives. FRED RASCOE: It's time for our last song today. Thanks to the events team at the Georgia Tech Library, researchers who want a cool campus venue in which to present their work to the community have got it. We can't promise every event will be exactly like a rock show, but we'll have an eager audience, a screen for PowerPoint slides, plus a microphone. CHARLIE BENNETT: That sounds like everything you need. FRED RASCOE: That's all that you need. So let's close with "Come Up to the Microphone" by the Makeup right here on Lost in the Stacks. Have a great weekend, everybody. [MUSIC PLAYING]
