*IUPUI University Library hosts Herron Printmaking display
The Herron School of Art Printmaking Program is the focus of a display of
student art at the IUPUI University Library through the month of October.
The prints featured in the display are representative of a spectrum of
subjects, including abstracts, landscapes, fantasy and humor. Two of the
student art prints also reflect themes of the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks on the United States.
A wide variety of techniques and images are encompassed in the print
creations by the Herron printmaking classes, under the instruction of
Professor David Morrison. He states, "The Herron program curriculum
provides intensive experience in lithography and etching at beginning,
intermediate and advanced levels. Students acquire deeper expertise through
courses in monotype, woodcut, and silkscreen."
The Herron School of Art Printmaking Program display is available for public
viewing in the Level One Lobby of the University Library, 755 West Michigan
Street, during regular hours. For further information call (317) 278-0232.
*Workshop on Linking to Full-text Journal Articles
"How Do I Know What We Have?
At the Indiana Wesleyan University Conference Center,
3777 Priority Way South Drive, Indianapolis, Indiana
The ability to access thousands of full text articles online has provided
both opportunities and challenges for librarians. How can we locate these
articles through our online catalogs? If WE don't know what we have, how
will we serve our patrons? Will new technology solutions be the answer?
Join us as we look at the issues, emerging technology solutions, such as SFX
and Serials Solutions, and receive practical advice from the trenches. The
morning will begin with keynote speaker Nancy John (University of Illinois,
Chicago) who will provide an overview of this hot topic. The afternoon will
follow with a reality check, as IUPUI's Robin Crumrin, and Notre Dame's
Carol Richter lead us through their own libraries' decision making processes
in selecting technology solutions to this library dilemma.
To get to Indiana Wesleyan University Conference Center:
Go to Indianapolis and take I-465 to the north side of the city. Exit on
Keystone Avenue and head north. Get into the right hand lane for an

*Upcoming event at the Schurz Library, IUSB
Elizabeth Johnson from the Lilly Library at Indiana University
Bloomington will speak on Thursday, October 18th at 7:30 p.m. in the
Schurz Library atrium. Her topic will be, " For your Amusement and
Instruction: Children's Literature in the Lilly Library Collections."
This event is co-sponsored by the Friends of the Schurz Library and
the School of Education. Reception follows.
Elizabeth Johnson is head of technical services at the Lilly Library,
Indiana University, Bloomington. She holds an undergraduate degree in
linguistics and an M.L.S. from the University of Texas at Austin.
Before becoming a librarian she worked for rare book dealers in
London, England, and Austin, Texas. She is the author of For Your
Instruction and Amusement: The Elisabeth Ball Collection of Historical
Children's Materials (Bloomington, Ind.: The Lilly Library, 1987) and
has served as curator of exhibitions of children's materials from the
Lilly Library collections in Bloomington, Cambridge, England, and
Japan.
The Lilly Library includes some of North America's most important
resources for the study of historical children's materials. The
library's holdings in children's materials stem from J.K. Lilly's own
collections. He was particularly interested in boys' adventures
stories, but his collections of British and American literature
contained children's classics as well. Other important collections of
children's materials acquired by the library over the years include
works illustrated or written by Howard Pyle; a nearly complete
collection of works illustrated by N.C. Wyeth; an extensive collection
of editions of Clement C. Moore's A Visit from St. Nicholas; and
production materials for movable toy books by Lothar Meggendorfer. In
1983 the Elisabeth Ball collection, was presented to the Lilly
Library. This world-renowned library consists of approximately 8,500
books and related juvenile materials such as hornbooks, paper dolls,
and games, and 1,223 manuscripts. The books date primarily from the
late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, but there are items
from as early as the sixteenth century and as late as the
mid-twentieth century. Major strengths of the collection are
eighteenth-century imprints; fairy tales; cries; chapbooks; books of
instruction; poetry and verse; history, geography, and travel; nursery
rhymes and alphabets; games; and toy and movable books. The 438-piece
manuscript nursery library made by Jane Johnson for her children in
the mid eighteenth century is the most unique part of the Ball
collection. In 1996, the bequest to the Lilly Library of Ruth E.
Adomeit's collections of miniature books and American juvenile books
added significantly to the library's holdings. The Lilly Library is
committed to acquiring additional children's materials by gift and
purchase, adding new items regularly to the 12,000 books and games and
1,250 manuscripts now in the library.
