Discover Informationland: The Past and Future of Libraries, now on view in Linderman Library. Inspired by this fall’s collaborative event Alice in Informationland with Touchstone Theatre, our new Special Collections exhibit traces libraries’ role from clay tablets to AI, showcasing how librarians have preserved knowledge, guided discovery, and built community across centuries. Explore rare government records, Lehigh archives, and media formats old and new. Visit through December, or continue your journey online with storymaps and timelines celebrating the ingenuity of libraries and the people behind them.
Whether you're sending announcements to large or small audiences, you'll learn easy steps you can take to ensure messages can be read easily by everyone, including folks who use assistive technologies. This short session gives easy hints that everyone can use today, without special tools or tech skills.
We'll cover some Zoom Phone features you may not have explored, such as delegation, shared lines, call forwarding and ring tones. Bring your questions!
Research computing projects can have a large impact if they are portable and easy to share with new collaborators. In this seminar, you will learn how to package your scientific computations in a Linux-based container system (Docker and Apptainer). Containers can make it easy to take your work to larger public supercomputing centers, and improve the reproducibility and openness of your scientific software.
Curious about the Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses? Discover how AI is being integrated with wearable technology, like the Meta Ray-Ban AI glasses, to transform the way we see, connect, and interact with the world.
On Wednesday, October 15 at 3:00pm, stop by the CITL's LETs Lab @ FM Library (across from The Grind) for a brief overview of these glasses and an opportunity to try them out yourself! No registration necessary. Snacks provided.
Faculty, Instructional Staff & Graduate Students,
The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL) in partnership with professors Dr. Brooke Rollins (English) & Will Lowry, MFA, (Theater) invites you to join the kickoff meeting for the Game Studies & Game Based Learning (GBL) Community of Practice on Thursday, October 16, from 10:00 a.m. to Noon in the LETs Lab in Fairchild-Martindale Library. The LETs Lab is next to the Digital Media Studio across from The Grind.
This session is intentionally informal with light snacks, games in a variety of formats to try out and plenty of space for conversation. We’ll pause briefly at 10:15 and 11:15 for quick introductions and to share our interests in gaming and game studies. Together, we’ll also brainstorm ideas for the CoP’s future and highlight some resources already available to help us get started.
This event is open to anyone interested in Game Studies & GBL!
Date: Thursday, October 16, 10:00 a.m. to Noon
Location: LETs Lab, Fairchild-Martindale Library
If this sounds like something you’re interested in please fill out our initial interest form to keep up to date on all things GBL & Games Studies here at Lehigh!
Sincerely,
Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning | lts.lehigh.edu/citl
Marking moments of transformation
(Fan)Zines (handmade magazines) are a fun and accessible way to mark periods of change. Learn about the history of zines, how to create a zine using one sheet of paper, and reflect on your own transition to Lehigh as you make a zine. We will also view some of the zines in Lehigh's Special Collections for inspiration.

This session is intended as a basic introduction to accessibility for content creators who are unfamiliar with the topic and are looking for a quick start. We use MS Word to illustrate concepts of accessibility and give easy-to-implement, practical tips for creating documents that are accessible to broad audiences.
This session is formerly called Data Backup and Management, and has been updated to include changes to university storage quotas. This seminar offers best practices for caring for your files -- wherever they are -- and making sure you always have your data.
When a research computing project evolves to answer more nuanced questions, it inevitably requires more computational power and generates more data. This seminar will teach you the best practices for storing large, complex datasets so they can easily be analyzed and mined for new insights. These methods will apply to any research questions that depend on big data.
Encourage excitement. Practice theory. Imagine education otherwise.
Dive into bell hooks’ Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom in a three-part book club hosted by the Humanities Center, the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL), and the Pride Center. Open to faculty, staff, graduate students, and postdocs, the club will meet three times during the fall semester—Tuesdays, September 30, October 28, and December 2, from 12–1 p.m. at the Humanities Center. Free lunch and book copies provided!
If you cannot attend all three meetings (though that’s preferred), you are still encouraged to sign up. The interest form will close at the end of the day on Friday, September 19. Details on how to pick up a free copy of the book will be shared with book club members in early September.

The event will also feature archival materials from organizations in the film, such as newsletters, posters, and audiovisuals.
About the film:
Rooted tells the story of a group of artists who, starting in the 1970s, chose to create in Bethlehem, PA. The film explores their creative paths, the values that shaped their work, and their impact on the community.
Please RSVP by Friday, October 24, 2025. Light refreshments will be provided.
Directions to Linderman Library: Visitors can park in nearby metered spots or pay-by-plate zones. For more parking info, check the Parking Services website.
