3. REMINDER -INTERLIBRARY LOAN/DOCUMENT DELIVERY SERVICES ON BLOOMINGTON CAMPUS RELOCATING!!

Beginning July 7 the entire ILL/DDS unit (both borrowing and lending) of the Access Services Department will be brought together in the one geographic area in the Department's lower level. The borrowing unit will switch places with the billing and computer supports units currently located in the lower level. This will provide a logical and efficient arrangement for these service units.

The Circulation staff will field many ILL/DDS routine questions and page ILL/DDS staff as needed. And, as always, users can consult with the staff in person. This change further develops the consolidation of the interlibrary loan operations and enhances use of our resources -- an outstanding staff, limited equipment, and a large research collection.

--Harold A. Shaffer, Head, Access Services

4. WYLIE FAMILY LETTERS COMPILED

"Affectionately Yours: The Andrew Wylie Family Letters, 1828 to 1859" is a 276-page collection of wonderfully readable family correspondence offering us a very touching and personal window onto life in Bloomington a century and a half ago. The letters were transcribed and compiled with support from an Indiana Heritage Research Grant and are available in spiral-bound book form from Wylie House Museum for $17.85. The original letters are preserved in the University Archives. For more information, call Bonnie Williams at 855-6224.

Catstat will give you totals for titles or volumes/items held, and will also allow you to get counts of title/volumes added to the catalog over the past FY.
