*IUPUI University Library Features Special Collection Exhibit
The exhibit, Fund Raising Publications: Another Way to Study History, was recently put on display in the Joseph and Matthew Payton Philanthropic Studies Library of the IUPUI University Library. The philanthropic manuscript collections held by the Library's Special Collections and Archives are generally used to study philanthropy in the United States, but these materials have broader applications.
Fund Raising Publications: Another Way to Study History brings specific focus to publications issued during fund raising campaigns in the twentieth century and how they reflect the events and conditions of the times in which they were published and offer clues into the attitudes of the people who wrote and received them. The exhibit covers the period from the 1920s through the 1980s and targets the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, economic development, social issues, and hospitals and healthcare. The exhibit is on display through November 2000 in the Joseph and Matthew Payton Philanthropic Studies Library, room UL 2110, on Level Two of the IUPUI University Library, 755 West Michigan Street. The exhibit may be viewed during the Library's regular hours of operation. For further information, please call University Library Special Collections and Archives at (317) 274_0464 or send an e_mail message to speccoll@iupui.edu.

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/master2000.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 Suzann Westerfield (sleaster@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 Suzann Westerfield.
