*Digital Library Program Forum update, IUBOn March 31, the Digital Library Program held two 3-hour forums, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. More than 70 participants took part in one of the two forums. However, a number of people were unable to attend. The schedule for each forum, with links to the bibliography and the PowerPoint presentations, is now available on the Web: http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/forum2003/. Most participants completed an evaluation form, providing us with great comments and suggestions for follow-up topics and events. We are summarizing the results and will use them for future planning. Thanks to everyone who attended the DLP Forum 2003!

*History of the Book Seminar Session--Monday, April 21, IUB
The final History of the Book Seminar Session for the semester will be led by SARAH KNOTT of our History Department. Her subject is SENSIBILITY AND READERSHIP IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY PHILADELPHIA, and the session is to be held this coming Monday, APRIL 21, in the LILLY LIBRARY LOUNGE. This is the talk that had to be postponed this past January. All Librarians are cordially invited to attend. Coffee, fruit juice, and cookies begin at 3:30.
SENSIBILITY AND READERSHIP IN EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY PHILADELPHIA The literary history of American sentimentalism has focussed especially on the sentimental novels of the Early American Republic: those tear-jerkers that seemed to preach morality and that imagined the inclusion of social groups excluded from the political constituency of the Constitution. Using the extraordinary career of Philadelphia bookseller Robert Bell, "Provedore to the Sentimentalists", this paper will examine an earlier urban print culture of sensibility in terms of genre and the changing contours and possibilities of readership.
