Where Did the Idea Originate?July 2010 -- two "sparks" for the idea: • ACRL "Scholarly Communication 101: Starting with the
Basics" road show -- CULS Summer Institute 2010 at Kansas State University

Creed-Dikeogu to sponsor a collection of proceedings from the CULS Fall Conference
Also: several CULS Board members and members at large have presented at Brick and Click and contributed to the annual collection of papers from that conference:http://eric.ed.gov/PDFS/ED513812.pdf (2010 Proceedings)
