Library News and Events
Collection
Development Committee Events
The Collection Development Committee (CDC)
is pleased to announce these upcoming events
during the month of February 2013:
YBP GOBI Training Sessions for Collection
Managers
Marifran Bustion, Collection Development
Manager at YBP, will be giving specialized
training sessions on the GOBI management system
for IUB collection managers. In addition,
collection managers will have the opportunity to
schedule an appointment with Mrs. Bustion to
discuss any changes they would like to make to the
approval plan profiles they manage. The
training sessions will take place on
Tuesday, February 19 and
Wednesday, February 20 in the
Wells Library. Specific times will be
announced via the collection managers' listserv.
Visit by James Simon, Director of
International Resources/Center for Research
Libraries (CRL)
James Simon will be speaking about future
directions in CRL's international and area
studies programs. This one-hour talk has
been scheduled for
Monday, February
25, at
10:00am in room
E174 of the Wells Library. A leading
consortium of North American research libraries,
the CRL acquires and preserves resources for
research and teaching and makes them available to
member institutions through interlibrary loan.
James Simon will also be speaking at
"Human Rights, the Right to Memory, and the
Truth Commission in Brazil: A Symposium," an
event sponsored by the Brazilian Studies
Program. His presentation focuses on a new
collaboration between the Center for Research
Libraries (CRL), LAMP (formerly known as the Latin
American Microform Project), and the Federal
Prosecutor's Office in Brazil to digitize the
microform collection
Brasil: Nunca
Mais. These records document the cases
of over 7,000 persons arrested, convicted, and/or
executed by Brazilian authorities between 1964 and
1979. Copied in secrecy, the official
records expose human rights violations by the
military regime that ruled in Brazil during this
period. LAMP received the collection in 1987
from the
Brasil: Nunca Mais project
director Rev. Jaime Wright, who was seeking a
location to deposit the microfilm copy of the
records for safekeeping and use. In 2011,
Brazilian authorities expressed interest to
digitize the 543-reel microfilm set for public
access. With the support of LAMP and CRL,
copies of the film are being sent to Brazil for
digitization, after which the collection will be
openly accessible via a public database.
More information on the collaborative digitization
project is available at
http://www.crl.edu/focus/winter-2012.
Through membership in LAMP and CRL, the IU
Libraries support this significant initiative.
James Simon's symposium presentation,
"
Brasil: Nunca Mais and the
Library's Role in Preserving Human Rights
Evidence" will take place on
Tuesday,
February 26 from
10:00am -
11:30am, in the Slocum Room at the Lilly Library.
All members of the IU Libraries community
are invited to attend the symposium "Human
Rights, the Right to Memory, and the Truth
Commission in Brazil." For programming

Upcoming
Application Deadline for the InULA Research
Incentive Fund
The InULA Research Incentive Fund is
intended to encourage and support research by
providing funding for research projects of any
size or scope. All applications will be
considered on their merits. In the case of
equally meritorious proposals, those of
non-tenured librarians may be given priority,
because it is often difficult for beginning
researchers to obtain research grants.
The guidelines, application, and other
information may be found at:
http://www.indiana.edu/~inula/opportunities/index.html.
Applications for InULA Research Incentive
funds to support research, professional
development, or service are due
Monday,
April 15. Applications are reviewed
after the deadline by the InULA Grants and
Scholarship Committee and recommendations made to
the Executive Board for approval and
funding. Notice of awards is provided to the
applicants as soon as possible.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if
you have any questions.
