ODTAA

John Masefield's 1926 novel was the inspiration... One Damned Thing After Another seems an appropriate cognomen for an environment in which experiments take place, each on the heels of another and most with only the barest connection to the predictable. First established on 8 January 2002 to house the library's serials review, the server promises to jes' grow as we think of new things to attempt. Its keepers are Skip Williams (skip@wlu.edu), Cindy Morton (mortonc@wlu.edu), and Hugh Blackmer (blackmerh@wlu.edu ).
