Dentistry, but participates in a variety of cooperative programs with the
other Indiana University Libraries, including a library automation system
and electronic database offerings.

Many thanks go to InULA for funding our proposal for telecast of the videoconference, "De-mystifying the Licensing of Electronic Resources." The videoconference was co-sponsored by ARL and the Special Libraries Association and funded in part by Lexis-Nexis. InULA's funding enabled us to televise the program at IUB in Radio/TV 108 on March 4, 1999, from 1:00-4:00 p.m. The funding also allowed us to videotape the conference for those who were unable to attend. The video has been cataloged (Z653.7 .D43 1999) and is available with handouts at the Media/Reserve Services in the IUB Main Library. It may be checked out for overnight or borrowed by librarians from other campuses for a longer period. (Consult Colleen Talty at 855-1650; ctalty@indiana.edu)

5. Diversity Day At IU Bloomington
Please mark your calendars for Libraries Diversity Day which will be celebrated on March 31st from 1:30 to 2:30 pm in the Media Showing Room. This year, in addition to asking for contributions of foods from different cultures to share among ourselves, we will also feature an informal program.
Julie Knost, IU's Director of Affirmative Action, will speak to us about the meaning of diversity and how we can be a part of the University's efforts in this regard. The Dean will also address the issue of diversity within the Libraries.
Everyone is strongly encouraged to attend and find out what diversity really is. Those attending will not be charged for time off since this is considered a training session.
Please contact Betty Andis or Suzann Easter by telephone or e-mail as to attendance and/or food that you plan to bring.
You're Invited To The 13th Annual HPER Library Auction
