    The Seminar began in Spring 1991, co-chaired by Clifford Lynch and Michael Buckland. Clifford Lynch was then Director of the Division of Library Automation, Office of the President, University of California, predecessor of the California Digital Library. A co-chaired seminar enabled him to combine teaching with his travel schedule and Friday afternoon, 3 p.m. suited his work schedule. Michael Buckland, professor in the School, had previously worked with Lynch at at the Office of the President, from 1983 to 1987. Ray Larson participated informally from the beginning and as Co-Chair starting Spring 2004 until he died in June 2017.
