IUPUI University Library Exhibit Takes International Focus

An exhibit, IUPUI: An International Campus, now on display in the University Library Ruth Lilly Special Collections and Archives, focuses on the international aspects of IUPUI and its academic units. The exhibit will be on display through August 31, 2001.

The common perception of IUPUI is of a university designed to serve students and citizens of Indianapolis and central Indiana. IUPUI and its academic units have also served an international constituency throughout their history. Students have continued their education at the Indianapolis campus from all over the world, while IUPUI students have traveled globally as part of their studies. The IUPUI faculty includes professors from several nations, and the university has established collaborations with institutions on five continents to further education, research, and mutual understanding.

IUPUI: An International Campus presents original and reproduced items to highlight the global aspects of the IUPUI mission, from the arrival of the first international students almost a century ago, to current partnerships that make IUPUI a recognized name in cities worldwide. Additional information is also available in print.

The Ruth Lilly Special Collections and Archives are located on the Lower Level of the IUPUI University Library, Room UL 0133, and are open 8AM-5 PM Monday, Thursday, and Friday, 8 AM-8 PM Tuesday and Wednesday, and 8 AM-noon on Saturday (Closed Saturdays for month of May). For further information, call Special Collections and Archives at (317) 274-0464, send e-mail to speccoll@iupui.edu or visit web site: http://www.ulib.iupui.edu/special/

DON'T FORGET TO USE THE LIBRARY MASTER CALENDAR!

There is a master calendar in Libraries Human Resources where we list meetings, training sessions, and events that have been widely announced. If you are scheduling a meeting, event, etc., it is essential that you add this information to the calendar and check for conflicts. The master calendar is located in the Libraries Human Resources Office and on our web page at http://www.indiana.edu/~libpers/master2001.html. It is now also in the Public Folders of Outlook! You will only be able to view the calendar so if there is anything that you want to change or add to it, please send Betty Davis (bettbell@indiana.edu or 5-5988) the information. It then will be put on the Outlook calendar for you. In order to view the calendar, scroll down your Outlook folder list to "Public Folders". Keep opening folders until you come to "All Public Folders", "Departments", "BL-Library", "BL-Master Calendar". Once you find it, you can make a shortcut by adding it to the Outlook bar on the left side, by clicking on it and dragging it over to that bar. Again, if you have any questions or would like to add something to the calendar, contact Betty Davis.
