"That trend is sweeping fandom and is largely motivated by the Internet."¢ A former KU professor who wrote a pair of definitive books on Lawrence history will be inducted into the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame, the [(Bartlesville) Examiner-Enterprise][2] reports. David Dary now is head of the journalism program at the University of Oklahoma, but he also wrote "Pictorial History of Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas" and "Lawrence, Douglas County, Kansas, an Informal History."
