UVA Celebrates Four-Millionth Volume

Last fall the University of Virginia Library celebrated the 
acquisition of its four-millionth volume, "Lady Freedom Among Us," 
a poem by Rita Dove, United States Poet Laureate and Commonwealth 
Professor of English at the University of Virginia.  As a sign of 
the times, the volume was issued in two formats:  a limited 
printed edition by the Janus Press, and an electronic version 
prepared by Rick Provine and David Seaman of the UVA library 
staff.  The electronic version includes the text of the poem, 
images of all pages of the printed version, a sound recording of 
Rita Dove reading the poem, and related materials on the poem and 
the celebration of this milestone.  The electronic version can be 
found at the UVA Library home page:  http://www.lib.virginia.edu/.
