There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

In honor of Project One, the Georgia Tech Library invites you to participate in a crowdsourced celebration of our technological past. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni are invited to participate in the retroTECH exhibit by loaning their old tech to the Library for a brief period of time.
During the month of October, the Library will feature a display of treasured technology pieces from the personal collections of Georgia Tech community.
Consider loaning an old cell phone, a disk, a hardware component, etc. from your collection to be featured for one week in a secure, Library exhibit case. Items do not have to be old, rare, or valuable; they just have to be meaningful to you. The exhibit will invite viewers--both in-person and online--to explore the personal side of our technological lives and inspire them to design the future by hacking the past.
If you’re interested in loaning an item from your collection, fill out this brief web form by September 29th.
