This year’s spring conference, “Thriving While Surviving,” takes a timely look at how to operate in the present with the best return for the future. The conference will take place March 25-26, 2010, at the President Abraham Lincoln Hotel and Conference Center in Springfield, Illinois. Keynote speakers and presentations will focus on ways to provide services and operations under fiscal constraints, and on the future implications of current initiatives and issues.
Over forty peer-reviewed sessions covering collaboration, instruction, reference, collection development and leadership prove there is something for everyone. Invited speakers will also be discussing the Google Books settlement and sharing what’s new with discovery systems. On Wednesday, March 24, before the conference starts, two preconferences will take place; Catch the (Google) Wave: Using Google Wave and Other Web 2.0 Tools in the Library will be a hands-on experience for participants to learn about Google wave and Scholarly Communication 101: Starting with the Basics will examine the scholarly communication system from the planning stages through implementation. Take a look at the schedule and program information posted at the Conference Registration link (http://iacrl.net/Conferences/2010Conference/Conferencehome.html) on the IACRL website and register for what promises to be a stimulating and useful event. The registration deadline is March 16, 2010!
The 2010 IACRL Conference: Thriving While Surviving: The Complete 21st Century Librarian, will offer two separate keynote speakers who will address the concept of a librarian in the 21 st century and what it means to our profession. IACRL members will have the opportunity to hear both Beverly Lynch and R. David Lankes speak at the conference. Currently, Beverly Lynch is a professor of Information Studies at the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. Her address will focus on the challenges, constants, and opportunities facing librarians today. Lynch is also the founder of the Senior Fellows program, a former president of the American Library Association, and the recipient of the 2009 Lippincott Award. R. David Lankes currently serves as the Director of the Information Institute of Syracuse, an associate professor in Syracuse University’s School of Information Studies, and the director of the library science program for the school. The title of his presentation is “The Future Is Ours for the Taking.” Lankes is an advocate of participatory librarianship and is the lead instructor for the ILEAD U grant project in Illinois.

In just a few weeks, we will be gathering in Springfield for the IACRL 2010 Conference. We’ve worked hard to put together a conference that should be stimulating and professionally rewarding, with not just one but two keynote addresses, by noted library educators Beverly Lynch and David Lankes. Many of you will be presenting the results of your research or sharing your thoughts about academic librarianship in the 21 st century and telling your stories of how you thrive while surviving the vicissitudes of the Great Recession. You’ll have a chance to learn about Google Wave and other new social networking technologies at a preconference to be offered on the afternoon of Wednesday, March 24. On Thursday evening, we’ll multitask at the all-conference reception/poster sessions/exhibits.
I’m excited about the conference and looking forward to seeing many of you in Springfield! Yet, at the same time, I believe that it is time to think seriously about the future of IACRL and what it means to academic librarianship in Illinois. Increasingly, there are other avenues for professional development and informal networking open to Illinois academic librarians, often provided by CARLI or other consortia at minimal or no cost. That is possible because our institutions belong to CARLI or to a library system, or use a system for which the vendor offers “free” training. IACRL, however, is an organization for *individual* academic librarians. To be a member, one must join the Illinois Library Association and choose IACRL as one’s forum choice. And, to attend the biennial conference one must also pay a registration fee and travel costs.
Participating in IACRL is not cheap, and I fear that many academic librarians in Illinois have concluded that membership in the organization is not worth it. I think it is time for us to ask—what should IACRL be doing? What would make membership worthwhile? How important is it for academic librarians to participate in an organization (ILA) that includes members from all types of libraries? What would make people want to assume leadership positions in IACRL? You will notice that this newsletter presents a “blank slate” of candidates for the position president/president-elect of IACRL and for the Secretary/Treasurer position. That’s because the Nominating Committee wants a chance to seek candidates for the position at the conference, to “campaign,” as it were, for an excellent slate of candidates.
To find out more about what IACRL means to you and what you think the organization ought to be doing, the Executive Committee is going to conduct a survey between now and the ILA conference next fall. In addition, I’m going to try to arrange for an informal round-table meeting at the conference where we can share ideas for revitalizing IACRL. I would love to hear from you in person at the conference or you can e-mail me at jtrea1@uis.edu.

What do the libraries at Parkland College, Loyola University Chicago, and Northern Illinois University have in common? They are all trying to conserve energy and other resources to support sustainability. Recycling is a key component of the conservation plans for all three institutions. In addition to paper, Parkland College recycles everything from printer ink cartridges to batteries. They use recycled computers to supplement the computer area. Wireless mice and keyboards are powered by rechargeable batteries, and Parkland reuses file folders, DVD cases, and catalog cards from withdrawn books. They use real plates and silverware in their kitchen instead of disposable ones. They recently recovered 276 study chairs instead of replacing them, and use CFL light bulbs in all their lamps. Like all libraries, they are trying to rein in the use of paper. They have implemented a pay-to-print system and they use the back side of printouts as scrap paper. The library has also been selected as a test site on the Parkland College campus for green cleaning products. In addition, the Parkland College Library sells withdrawn books to patrons and Better World Books, as does Founders Memorial Library at Northern Illinois University.
Founders also recycles paper, plastic, and aluminum, and as part of a university initiative, all offices and restrooms have motion sensors that turn on and off lights. They have installed fluorescent light bulbs in the stairways, and the escalators are shut down at 6:00 p.m. every night, during the interim periods, and over the summer semester. Founders also has a pay-to-print system in place for patrons, and is putting a number of internal and instructional documents online that used to be periodically printed out.
Loyola University Chicago has taken sustainability to a new level. It has a new information commons on its Lake Shore Campus that has been designed specifically for energy efficiency. The Richard J. Klarchek Information Commons is situated right on Lake Michigan and houses over 200 computers that provide access to all of Loyola’s electronic resources. It’s also home to a reference desk, media lab, cafe, group study rooms, and meeting rooms. Both the east and west building facades are made of glass. Both sides have automatic shades that are designed to mitigate solar radiation and the glass is low-emittance, which blocks out much of the radiant heat transfer. The building has radiant heating and cooling from the ceiling, and automated, motorized windows that open to let in fresh air, reducing the number of days that mechanical ventilation is needed, and improving air quality. It is estimated that the design of the Information Commons will reduce energy consumption by fifty percent over a comparably sized building with traditional heating, cooling, and ventilation. It has received the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) silver certification, as well as the international LEAF (Leading European Architects' Forum) Award for Best Use of Technology.

In addition, Loyola University Chicago is actively promoting green activities on campus and the library has joined in by forming a sustainability committee that helps inform staff about steps to take to conserve energy and resources. These include recycling and front and back printing. Bottled water is no longer served at meetings. Instead pitchers of water and paper cups are provided. All library staff members have been given their own water bottles. The committee makes presentations and brings in speakers to talk about sustainability. The library also participated in a campus-wide competition, Recycle Mania, which pits departments against each other to see who can recycle the most materials.
These are some of the things that academic libraries in Illinois are doing to promote sustainability and conserve resources. It is likely that in the coming years conservation awareness will increase, and initiatives like these will continue to grow.
In the vast bibliography of sources on the history of Chicago, The Encyclopedia of Chicago stands out as a premier reference and historical resource. It is a metropolitan history extending both in geography and urban life beyond the city of Chicago.
The Encyclopedia of Chicago project began with an NEH grant in 1994. The print edition was published in 2004 and the digital version was released in 2005. While both versions offer rich content, the e-edition, thanks to technology, makes it an enjoyably interactive and highly linked resource. The electronic edition is available free on the web and offers a number of special features not available in the print edition, such as Interpretive Digital Essays and Topical Galleries. The digital Encyclopedia of Chicago is a collaborative achievement of the Newberry Library, the Chicago Historical Society, and Northwestern University. Searching the encyclopedia, both by keywords and phrases, is straightforward. One can also browse subject entries alphabetically. More than 1,500 historical sources are included, ranging from photographs, letters, journals, articles, government and legal documents to maps, catalogues, books or cartoons.
There are alphabetical as well as historical and chronological indexes of maps. The special features include two indices, such as Biographical Dictionary and Dictionary of Chicago Leading Businesses from 1820 to 2000, and a timeline going back to the year 1630.
The comprehensive network of topics, maps, tables and related resources makes the Encyclopedia of Chicago a treasure of authoritative information.
Learning From the Master: Mies van der Rohe and the History of Architecture Education at the Illinois Institute of Technology is the latest proposal accepted for digitization through the CARLI Book Digitization Initiative, a continuing partnership with the Internet Archive and the Open Content Alliance. Over 2,500 items from 20 CARLI member libraries have already been digitized through the Book Digitization Initiative and are available on the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org/details/carli_lib).
Do you have a digitization project in mind? CARLI is seeking proposals for FY 2010 and FY 2011. Applications are encouraged at any time and project proposals are reviewed regularly throughout the year.

When spring arrives, do you find you're in the mood to get out, to see new sights, to explore a different terrain? Register now for the CARLI Public Services Working Group Spring Open Houses. Join us at Eureka College's Melick Library on Thursday, March 11 and at Southern Illinois University Carbondale's Morris Library on Friday April 11. These visits will go well beyond simple tours of the host libraries. They are designed to encourage dialogue about public services practices, problems, and ideas. You'll have ample opportunities to network with your peers, learn about the host libraries' public services practices, and share experiences from your home library. To register, visit the web page at http://www.carli.illinois.edu/mem-serv/mem-train/register/100311pswg/ .
Join us for a daylong Digital and Electronic Copyright Workshop on Wednesday, April 28 at the I Hotel and Conference Center in Champaign. The program will be given by Professor Dwayne K. Buttler, the first Evelyn J. Schneider Endowed Chair for Scholarly Communication at the University of Louisville and a Professor in University Libraries. Buttler's work focuses on the complex interrelationship of copyright law, and activities at the core of the teaching, learning, and scholarly communication. The program will be hosted by the I-Share Users' Group (IUG) and the Digital Collections Users' Group (DCUG). Watch for registration information coming soon.
When an instructor assigns a research project, what roles do library services, library resources and librarians play in a successful outcome for the students? What are the expectations, assumptions (and misunderstandings) between instructors, students and librarians in this process? And, finally, what do students really experience when they use our services and resources? For the past two years, two anthropologists and thirty-five librarians have been observing search behaviors, shadowing, filming and interviewing hundreds of students and faculty at six different CARLI libraries to answer these questions. Their findings have significant implications for library services, instruction, web usability, marketing, library space design and more. Plan to attend Connecting Libraries and Users: Anthropologists Helping Librarians Meet 21st Century Challenges to hear the results of these research projects, and get tools for conducting similar studies in your own library. The event will be offered twice, at DePaul University in Chicago on May 14 and Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington on May 21. Registration will be available soon.

The A.C. Buehler Library at Elmhurst College has received a 2010 Excellence in Academic Libraries Award from the Association of College & Research Libraries.
The annual award, sponsored by ACRL and YBP Library Services, recognizes the staff of a college, a university, and a community college library for programs that deliver exemplary service and resources to further the educational mission of the institution. Buehler Library was this year’s winner in the college category.
The library’s strategic planning initiatives and focus on student engagement drew praise from the selection committee. “Buehler Library demonstrated an excellent program for outreach to classroom faculty and articulated the link between library planning and activities to the institution’s strategic plan,” said committee chair Julie Todaro. “The selection committee admired the integration of gaming into student engagement activities, along with the library’s focus on student development programs and services.”
“We are delighted to have been selected for this year’s award,” said library director Susan Swords Steffen. “We have been successful in creating an excellent library because everyone is committed to flexibility, risk taking, pitching in when and where they are needed and embracing new challenges and opportunities as they arise. I am proud and pleased to work with this fine group of library professionals who have worked hard to create an excellent library for the students and faculty of Elmhurst College: a library that is central to the life of the college and a model for small college libraries.”
The library staff will be presented with $3,000 and a plaque at an awards ceremony on the Elmhurst campus this spring. They will also be recognized at the ACRL/LLAMA joint awards program at the 2010 ALA Annual Conference in June.
Congratulations to the staff of the A.C. Buehler Library!
The recently ratified IACRL Bylaws note that a slate of candidates is to appear in the Spring Newsletter with an election completed by June 30. Due to time constraints and the establishment of a new election cycle specified by the Bylaws, a "blank slate" of candidates appears in this issue. The Executive Committee would like to encourage the membership to begin discussing and nominating potential candidates for the two vacant IACRL offices: President-Elect (2010-2011) and Secretary/Treasurer (2010-2011).
The 2010 IACRL Election will be held online for a one week period between May 1- May 8. The Executive Committee has formed a Nominations Committee which will establish a slate of candidates after Spring Conference. Nominating Committee members will include Allen Lanham (EIU), David Hamilton (CARLI), Diane Casey (Gov. St.) and Hunt Dunlap (Past President, WIU). Nomination forms will be distributed at Spring Conference, or simply email your nominations to: nominations@iacrl.net. Please specify the nominee’s name, contact information, the office you are recommending, and why you think the person would be a good choice for that office. All IACRL members are eligible for nomination. You may nominate a colleague or yourself!
The Illinois State Library recently launched an exciting new initiative aimed at helping library staff develop stronger technology skills. ILEAD U (Illinois Libraries Explore, Apply and Discover): the 21st Century Technology Tools Institute, was developed with a Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Grant awarded to the State Library by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
ILEAD U is a continuation of the State Library’s strong commitment to provide librarians with innovative continuing education opportunities that will enhance their abilities and allow them to better serve their patrons. ILEAD U was purposely modeled after Synergy, the State Library’s longstanding and successful institute that is developing confident, proactive new Illinois library leaders.
Nowhere is the need for continuing education more important than in the area of technology. Librarians need to constantly keep up to date with the latest technology, and ILEAD U represents an exciting new approach to strengthen technology and leadership skills among Illinois librarians.
Participants will better understand and respond to user needs through the application of participatory technology tools and the creation of an easy-to-replicate model program. Examples of participatory technology tools include:
Eight five-member teams are working with mentors and instructors. Some of the college and research libraries represented by teams and mentors include:
The first three-day ILEAD U seminar was held in Springfield in February, and other three-day seminars will be held in June and October. There will also be additional mandatory virtual meetings.
The State Library is delighted that college and research librarians are taking part in this new venture, and we hope the knowledge and skills they obtain through ILEAD U will make them more confident about using new technology to address patron needs.
