A little off topic .. but I was interested to see Columbus, Ohio, [listed as number one](https://www.forbes.com/entrepreneurstechnology/2008/03/10/columbus-milwaukee-houston-ent-tech-cx%5Fwp%5F0310smallbizoutlooktechcity.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net) in a Forbes.com report of a list of Top 10 Up-and-Coming Tech Cities. This is the result of work done by Philip Auerswald, professor of public policy at George Mason University.  
The brief report highlights the location of [Battelle](https://www.battelle.org/index.aspx?ref=lorcandempsey.net) in Columbus. From a library point of view, it is also interesting to note that it is the home of [Chemical Abstracts](https://www.cas.org/aboutcas/contact.html?ref=lorcandempsey.net).  
For those that don’t know, OCLC is based in Dublin \[[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin,%5FOhio?ref=lorcandempsey.net#Economy)\], effectively a North Western suburb of Columbus \[[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus,%5FOhio?ref=lorcandempsey.net#Economy)\].  
Incidentally, I thought it was good the way ***Contact us*** was highlighted at the top of the [Battelle website](https://www.battelle.org/index.aspx?ref=lorcandempsey.net), showing the phone numbers.
