LIBRARY EVENTS

*SGML Workshop at IU Bloomington

IUL librarians and library staff are invited to a 2-day SGML workshop on November 2-3, to be held in the Main Library in Bloomington. This workshop, led by Perry Willett, is offered as part of the CIC Wright American Fiction Project. Participants will learn about SGML and the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines, and their importance in digital library projects. They will also get first-hand experience working on a CIC electronic text project already underway. Participants will be expected to devote 40 hours to the project within two months after the workshop, as a way of reinforcing the concepts taught in the workshop. The workshop will go from 9am-5pm on both November 2 and 3. There is space for 23 workshop participants. Please contact Perry Willett (email:pwillett@indiana.edu) with questions or to reserve a seat.

CALENDAR

*Library Master Calendar

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.
