2. THANKS!!!
Kudos and thanks to the members of the Special Events Committee who
worked hard on one of the hottest days of the year to provide a
wonderfully successful Library Picnic. Diana Burch and Liana Zhou
were the co-chairs of the event. Good food, shade, a nice breeze
and the collegial company of employees made the day very pleasant.
Thanks to attendees and organizers alike!

4. INULA ELECTION RESULTS
The ballots for InULA's annual election have been counted, and I am
pleased to announce the following new officers--
Phil Bantin, Vice President/ President Elect
Chris Long, Secretary
Andrea Morrison, Treasurer
Robin Crumrin, Representative at Large
Congratulations to these newly elected officers and our
appreciation to all who ran.
I would also like to thank both the Nominations Subcommittee--Roger Beckman, Mechael Gago, and Kiyoshi Otsu--for their hard work in preparing the slate of candidates and mailing the ballot, and the Electoral Subcommittee--Grace Jackson-Brown and Frances Livingston--for their work in receiving and tallying the votes.
I've always believed that InULA works best when it enjoys enthusiastic participation from its members. I'm happy to say that this process, with both the candidates and the Elections Committee, has been a wonderful example of that principle.

Kris Brancolini has agreed to chair the IUB Libraries Assessment
Committee. Other members are: Nancy Boerner, Mary Popp, Emily
Okada, and Gary Wiggins. Carolyn Walters will participate in the
initial work of the committee. The charge to the group is to
develop a plan for library instruction assessment. The plan will
be a component of the overall IUB Assessment Plan organized by the
Dean of the Faculties Office in response to North Central
accreditation requirements.
The work of this committee could have a significant effect upon the entire instruction process. I appreciate Kris's leadership and the willingness of the committee members to address assessment issues. Participation by colleagues involved in library instruction will be essential during the process. I hope there will be a commitment to help bring this assignment to a successful conclusion.
