A Tribute to Clifford Lynch
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. A series of short reports by colleagues and friends will illuminate his many and varied contributions.
