New IUCAT
This week, the Blacklight Training
Committee brings information on a new feature in
IUCAT Beta, Selected Items.
The Selected Items feature in IUCAT Beta
helps manage search results. You can use
this feature to select multiple search results to
view as a list for emailing, citing, or printing.
From the Selected Items page, you can
perform a variety of functions:
- View a list of citations (MLA, APA, Chicago
Style)
- Export the list of Selected Items to
RefWorks
- Export the list of Selected Items to
EndNote
- Email the list of Selected Items
The Selected Items list does not save your
selected search results. Once
you close the browser window, or navigate away
from the IUCAT Beta page (this includes closing a
browser tab), the selected search results will be lost.
Learn more about how the Selected Items
feature works in the new interface on the
IUCAT Beta blog.

Digital
Library Brown Bag: February 13
Please join us
Wednesday, February
13 for a digital library brown bag
presentation by Lori Dekydtspotter and Cherry
Williams. The presentation will be held at
the Herman B Wells Library, room E174, from
12:00pm - 1:00pm.
Partnering Outside the Box: Engaging Uses for
Primary Sources in the Elementary
Classroom Lori Dekydtspotter, Interim
Head of Cataloging & Rare Books and Special
Collections Cataloger
Cherry Williams,
Curator of Manuscripts
Lilly Library
When introduced with forethought and
preparation, primary sources can help young
students form a tangible link from the immediate
present to the remote past. We will discuss
our experience introducing elementary school
children to medieval illuminated manuscripts and
their productions, using examples of digital
surrogates from the Lilly Library collections
which are freely available in the Digital
Scriptorium database.
The Digital Scriptorium (DS) is a
non-commercial online image database of medieval
and Renaissance manuscripts, or manuscripts made
in the tradition of books before printing.
DS unites scattered resources from a consortium of
many libraries into a union catalog for teaching
and scholarly research in medieval and Renaissance
studies. It provides unprecedented access to
illuminated and textual manuscripts through
digital cataloging records, supported by high
resolution images and retrievable by various topic
searches. DS enables users from the most
causal to the most specialized to study the rare
and valuable materials of academic, research, and
public libraries. It makes available
collections that are often restricted from public
access and includes not only recognized
masterpieces but also understudied manuscripts
that have been previously overlooked for
exhibition or publication.
The Lilly Library became a contributing
member of the Digital Scriptorium in 2011.
Since that time, we have contributed over 100
images and records to the database.
Presentation slides and audio will be
available via the Connect Meeting Service
(formerly known as "Breeze"). Go
to
http://breeze.iu.edu/diglib to view and
listen to the presentation. If you are not a
registered user for Connect Meeting/Breeze, select
the "Enter as a Guest" option.
You can also follow and contribute to the
presentation and discussion on twitter: #dlbbspring2013

Underneath
the Lintel & InULA
The Cardinal Stage Company in Bloomington
will be performing
Underneath the
Lintel this May, which has been described
as: "Ostensibly the tale of a librarian who
rents the stage to tell the audience of the
mystery surrounding a book discovered in the
overnight slot 123 years overdue, the play in fact
becomes an exploration of the mystery of life and
humanity." (
Flavorpill).
In an effort to raise money for InULA and
to see an awesome play about a librarian, InULA
will be selling tickets for the
Saturday,
May 11 evening showing (8pm) and the
Sunday May 19 afternoon matinee
(2pm). If you're interested in
purchasing tickets to either of these
performances, please contact Lori Dekydtspotter
(
lodekydt@indiana.edu).
Ticket prices are:
May 11 - (54 seats available for us to
sell)
Adult: $25.50
Student: $14.50
Children: $10.00
May 18 (62 seats available for us to sell)
Adult: $21.50
Student: 14.50
Children: $10.00
(Please note, in order for InULA to receive
"credit" for the ticket sale, you must
purchase the ticket through InULA, not through the
Cardinal Stage Company).
For regional campus librarians who are
interested in carpooling to the Sunday, May 19
matinee, please contact Kate Moore (
