Dear Colleagues, We are moving into a new library space <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-Ry2j_Y9BY> this coming June. I wish I could come to Fort Worth and share the experience with those interested (much red wine would be necessary), but since we are on the home stretch with considerable work still to do I am staying at Stanford. Hope to see you next year. I would, however, be glad to discuss what I've learned, what I wish I had done differently (OMG), what to watch out for, etc. and so on, via a phone call if you are in the very early stages of planning, especially if you are still pre-architect selection.
