4. LETRS ANNOUNCES NEW EXTENDED HOURS, IMPROVED TECHNOLOGY, AND A GROWING COLLECTION OF ON-LINE TEXTS
*New Hours*
Beginning immediately, the LETRS public facility area, located on the first
floor of the research wing of the Main Library, will be open whenever the Main Library is open.
LETRS consultants will be available to assist you Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m and by appointment. During other hours, the facility will be open, but unstaffed. This change in staffing patterns will increase our ability to help people at IU access and create on-line texts.
*Improved Technology*
The LETRS public facility and world wide web server have all been recently
upgraded. The public facility is now equipped with Pentium-class PCs running
Windows NT 4 and PowerMac Macintoshes running System 7.6. We've also added an additional scanner connected to a Windows NT machine for our patrons to use in the creation of their own electronic text projects. This compliments the existing Macintosh-based scanning station. The new LETRS world wide web
server is a powerful Sun Enterprise server and provides dramatic speed
improvements to IU Bloomington and IUPUI patrons accessing the LETRS on-line
electronic text collection at http://calliope.ucs.indiana.edu/
*New On-Line Texts*
The LETRS collection of on-line searchable texts and dictionaries continues to grow. Recent additions include "The Complete Works of Jane Austen" and "Goethe's Werke (Weimarer Ausgabe)". Look for more texts to be added in 1998.
Please come take advantage of our new extended hours and visit the LETRS facility to see all the changes. Also please browse the LETRS homepage at http://www.indiana.edu/~letrs/

6. INSTRUCTIONAL MEDIA DEVELOPMENT GRANTS
Media Production, a division of Instructional Support Services and under the aegis of the Office of Dean of Faculties, is pleased to announce a competition for 1998-99 offering Instructional Media Grants. These grants are designed to support undergraduate and graduate instruction on the Bloomington campus. Though no salary is provided through this program, Media Production will provide all labor and materials - except in the case of extraordinary travel or materials costs.
Video or audio programs produced through these grants must be used in the classroom to improve or to enhance applicants' courses. Specifically, we are looking for projects that fill a particular instructional need, projects that solve a pedagogical problem or problems for a faculty member, a department, or a school. A minimum of four projects will be supported during the 1998/99 academic year.
Proposal forms and guidelines for proposals are available through Media Production. Contact Ralph Zuzolo, Director, Media Production at Franklin Hall M108, 812-855-1983; rzuzolo@indiana.edu
7. INTERNATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR LIBRARIES AND LIBRARIANS
The Office of International Programs offers grant opportunities to support libraries and librarians at any IU campus for a range of projects and activities aimed at developing the international collections of their libraries, or enhancing their ability to take advantage of international opportunities regarding library development. Types of proposals supported include: international travel to specific world areas for print and media acquisitions; domestic or international travel to examine special collections that might enhance the university's holdings, or to collaborate with colleagues at other institutions on international projects; domestic or international travel to special book or media fairs featuring international content; visits to funding agencies in the U.S. or abroad to identify and coordinate support for special or unique library projects with an international focus. One-time funding is also available for projects that enhance user access to IU's international collections and resources.
Proposals must have a major international dimension. Proposals will be enhanced if they can demonstrate a commitment of matching funds from relevant units (area studies centers, departments, schools, or the IU Libraries). Acquisition travel proposals must include a commitment from the campus library that acquisition funds will be available.
ELIGIBILITY: Tenured and tenure-track librarians at any IU campus
DEADLINES: October 15; March 15
