Cooking: Macaroni and Cheese
A. Doyle Moore, Will Chef-in-Residence
Host: David Inge

This time around he wants to talk about what for some people is the ultimate comfort food, macaroni and cheese. You can make it from a cardboard box, but homemade is so much better.

Deborah Jakubs, Ph.D., the Rita DiGiallonardo Holloway University Librarian and Vice Provost for Library Affairs; Adjunct Associate Professor of History, Duke University

It holds very old books and very new ones in many different formats and in many different languages. We’ll look at how university libraries are working to meet these challenges, particularly the demand for publications in languages other than English.
