Ithaca, NY In the mood for a soulful tune by Odetta, at talk by Norman Cousins on Citizen Diplomacy, or perhaps a look into the life and times of artist Man Ray as illustrated by Man Ray, artist William Wegman’s dog. There is a wealth of fascinating media to be explored at Open Vault, the WGBH Media Library & Archives (http://openvault.wgbh.org/) as WGBH makes a public digital library interface available on top of Fedora (+Blacklight).

    We gave a presentation at code4lib ‘10 about our work and challenges migrating from CWIS (which openvault is currently based on) to the Fedora/Blacklight stack. The slide deck is available at .

    We’ll launch the new site on April 30 with new content (full interviews, stock footage, transcripts, and still images) from /Vietnam: A Television History/
