To plan for the acquisition of a bunch of new office space there was a need to reshuffle the staff to make best use of the office space. So, we ended up making a big foam-core backed map and a set of little models of people to place to work through how to best organize the space. Each of the colors corresponds to different work groups in CHNM. This picture shows those little figures.

At the time, we were working on both the second edition of the Who Built America? book and the second CD-ROM, Who Built America? From the Great War of 1914 to the Dawn of the Atomic Age (both published in 2000).

A photo of Trevor Owens presenting "There Has to Be a Better Way: Zotero and Research 2.0" to a packed session at Educause in October of 2007 in Seattle WA. As the primary educational technology conference for higher education institutions this talk played a significant role in further getting the word out about Zotero to this community.
