Good morning! I'm delighted to announce the release of the Oral History of LIAS project. https://liashistory.com/
In 1974, Penn State bought its first computer. In 1979, it released its first library circulation module. By the mid 80s, you could search its catalog from a terminal or the rare home PC. These interviews are with 14 people who worked at the Libraries in that era.
It's both a library history and a computer/automation era history.
