Computer Science Roundtable Laurel Crump Reported by Hema Ramachandran, California Institute of Technology My colleague Ed Sponsler, Senior Applications Developer, and I made the presentation at the roundtable. We were the only speakers. I do not have an abstract, but I do have the PowerPoint presentation (2 MB) with our notes. In essence, our presentation was on our Digital Collections project with special reference to our first project, Caltech CS Tech Reports. We were gratified that a lot of people attended—-about 20, and there was lively discussion. Here is additional background for our project:
