Keeping track of 5.4 million books, some 46,000 online journals and 100,000 e-books is no easy task. Luckily, the Penn State University Libraries website exists to deliver that mind-boggling volume of content to Penn Staters on demand. There's just one problem: the current website isn't exactly the most user friendly. It gives me the same feeling of information overload in my junior year as it did when I was a freshman.
Enter the redesigned, beta test version of the University Libraries website. Declaring it a mere improvement over the previous version would be a serious understatement.
Remember in the fall when everyone was really worked up about the proposed Nuisance Ordinance?
For those of you who don't remember, this piece of legislation proposed to hold party hosts responsible for actions that their guests commit, even after they've left the party. That piece of legislation is back before the borough council, and the division and controversy is starting up again.

There are some interesting things on the Adewumi Campaign YouTube Channel.
After the jump is a Get Out the Vote video that uses "changing clothes" as a metaphor for changing the University Park Undergraduate Association. Check it out!
Remember reading about Indiana's decision to move their home game against the Nittany Lions to FedEx field in Washington, D.C.? Come tomorrow, you can buy tickets for Penn State's first game in the area since 1993. GoPSUSports has the details:
Tickets for the Penn State-Indiana football game at FedEx Field will go on sale to the general public on Monday, March 29 at 10 a.m.
Tickets range from $50-$150 for the contest at FedExField, which has a seating capacity of 91,704 and is the largest venue used by a professional sports team in the United States. Parking for the stadium lots is included in the price of the ticket.
If you're interested, visit www.GoPSUsports.com/tickets or call 814-865-5555 when the sale opens tomorrow morning. The website says phone lines will be open until 6 p.m., but you have to wonder if these tickets will be available that long. The greater Washington D.C. area has its share of Penn State alumni, and there are plenty of fans willing to make the trip down south.
According to Adam Rittenberg's Big Ten Blog, the former Penn State quarterback is currently taking up residence in Quarterback Coach Jay Paterno's basement "until he finds out what happens on draft day."
On a level of potential zaniness, we're going to put it in between Sidney Crosby living with Penguins Owner Mario Lemieux, and Chad Ochocinco's proposal to move in with his quarterback Carson Palmer.
Associate Athletic Director Greg Myford waxed political on Twitter this morning.
