1. THANKS!!!

Thanks to Anne and Dennis McGreer for their work in preparing an electronic version of the infamous PAQ. Their efforts made it possible for many staff to use their computers to fill out the form.

2. FACULTY/STAFF NEWS

Effective June 7, William Schendel resigned his position as Senior Circulation Assistant in the Music Library.

3. IUB LIBRARIES' RCSD HOME PAGE PRAISED IN AMERICAN LIBRARIES
According to the "Internet Librarian" department of the June 1995 issue of American Libraries, the World Wide Web resources developed by the IUB Libraries' Research Collections and Services Department is one of five academic library sites that "separate the champagne from the snake oil, provide resources most useful for their clientele, and add helpful commentary to their highly organized pages." In her article, "Lean, Mean Searching Machines," Karen Schneider states, "...[the] RCSD Home Page at Indiana University/Bloomington continues a strong tradition of electronic services from this library." Congratulations to Jian Liu and the many other contributors to the RCSD Home Pages!

--Julie Bobay, Computer-Based Resources and Services Team, IUB Libraries

4. RECEPTION FOR DEAN NEAL
On June 30 Jim Neal will complete a six year tenure as Dean of the Indiana University Libraries to become the Sheridan Director of the Milton S. Eisenhower Library at Johns Hopkins University. Jim Neal came to the IU Libraries after holding positions at Penn State University, the University of Notre Dame, and the City University of New York. His work here has been marked by organizational and technological change which has brought the IU Libraries to the forefront in academic libraries throughout North America. Jim's energy, vision, and ability to articulate the issues facing large research libraries have served the university and the libraries exceedingly well. As Chancellor Kenneth Gros Louis said of Dean Neal, he is a "citizen" of the University in the most positive sense. The IU Libraries have been most fortunate to have shared in Jim Neal's career. He has served us well and we will all miss him.

Please come to the Main Library Staff Lounge on June 30 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. for an informal good-bye reception for Dean Neal. It will be our opportunity to wish him well and thank him for being our dean for the past six years. It has been marvelous!

--Pat Steele, Associate Dean
