*Effective March 30, Daniel Logan resigned from his position as Imaging Technician with the Digital Library Program at Bloomington.
*Please congratulate Celestina Wroth as the newly appointed Librarian for History, Religious Studies and History & Philosophy of Science at IU Bloomington. Last year Celestina did an outstanding job in fulfilling this position in an "Acting" capacity--eventually leading to her successful appointment to the tenure-track position. Celestina received a Master of Library Science and a Master of Arts in History from Indiana University in 1996 with a concentration on medieval Europe. Throughout high school and college she worked in the rare book trade. While in graduate school, she gained experience at several libraries on campus, including the Lilly Library. Celestina joined the Reference Department in 1994 and received a visiting librarian appointment in 1998. She is proficient in Spanish and has reading knowledge of Latin, German, French and Italian in addition to bibliographic knowledge of Portuguese and Dutch. I would like to thank the Search and Screen Committee, chaired by Marty Joachim, for bringing this search to a timely and happy conclusion.
Martha Brogan, Associate Dean and Director of Collection Development
