LHRT annually invites a scholar or author from outside of the LIS field whose work is of interest to the LHRT membership to be the Edward G. Holley Memorial Lecturer. This year’s Lecturer, Dr. Kurt Hackemer, delivered a spectacular multimedia presentation a few days ago entitled “Animated Cartoon Shorts and American Perceptions of World War II.” Hackemer is Professor of History, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs at the University of South Dakota.
