Listening Sessions with CARLI Directors

CARLI Senior Director, Anne Craig, has been traveling to member libraries around the state for ″Listening Sessions″ with CARLI library directors. These informal, approximately two-hour sessions have been very informative and successful. Please look over the list of remaining sessions and plan to join Anne. During these meet-ups, she is eager to hear about your library′s challenges and successes in order to more clearly understand our member's needs and to be able to relate your stories to stakeholders.

The 2017 CARLI Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, November 17 at the I-Hotel Conference Center in Champaign.

CARLI staff have completed preparing the FY 2017 annual statistical reports package for I-Share libraries. I-Share library staff may download these reports from your library's CARLI FTP directory. CARLI compiled statistics for the reports using a date range of 7/1/2016-6/30/2017, inclusive. (Note: Some I-Share libraries also receive the Annual Statistical Package on an alternative fiscal year cycle. Those libraries will also receive this current set of reports.) The collection stat reports are snapshots, which are current as of the date at the top of each report.

This collection of research files on early to mid-20th century Chicago jazz and dance bands, comprising more than 1,000 items in digitized form, simulates the experience of lifting the lid of an archival box and gently rifling through its foldered contents--minus the cotton gloves.
