Yes, just like almost everyone (and every place) else in the world, the Krupp Library is now on Twitter.

(If you don’t know what Twitter is, you can go here to learn more.  Or else just turn on the news channel  or program of your choice and wait 5 minutes… there will almost assuredly be a story about it, and the reporters will either be completely bewildered by it or else talk about it like it’s Prometheus’ gift of fire to humanity.)

Anyway, our user name is bryantlib, and you can either follow us directly on the site, via the Twitter client and device of your choosing, or even over on the blog’s sidebar.

You may think of Digital Commons as a repository for all manner of useful Bryant-related scholarship, but there’s quite a bit of interesting historical artifacts and photos scanned in there, too, and it’s really worth your time to take a look.

If you somehow missed President Machtley jumping into the pond (suit and all) on May 13, for instance, and wanted to see pictures and learn just why he did it in the first place, Digital Comons would be a very good place to start.

(Of course, you could also check YouTube for videos of the event from several different angles , but salty language from some of the folks in the background of the various videos prevents me from linking to anything here.  Nothing you haven’t heard before, but not the sort of thing a blogmaster posts on an academic-related website if he wants to keep his job, you understand.)
