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

Are you interested in science or speculative fiction? Afro-futurism? Fantasy and horror?
Please join the Library and Science Fiction Professor Lisa Yaszek Thursday, Nov. 17 at 11 a.m. in welcoming the authors of Terminus 2. Authors will read selections from their work at the Crosland Tower Stairs then participate in a meet-and-great afterwards in the area outside the Sci-Fi Lounge on Crosland Tower's first floor. You will have a chance to learn about and meet many Atlanta-based authors of sci-fi, horror, fantasy and more!
