Video Recording: Berkeley School of Information Posts “A Tribute to Clifford Lynch” (Event Recorded on May 2, 2025)
From the Berkeley School of Information (via YouTube):
Clifford Lynch came to Berkeley in April 1979 to be manager of computing resources in the Division of Library Automation in the UC systemwide administration. He remained, with steadily increasingly responsibilities, until he left in 1997 to become Executive Director of the Coalition for Networked Information in Washington, DC. In parallel, he co-chaired this Friday Afternoon Seminar from its inception in January 1991, 69 semesters ago. Sadly, Clifford passed away on April 10.
