CARLI News

If a book can be judged by its cover, then the photograph on the front of the student-published Halcyon (vol. 2, no. 3, March 1971) tells part of the story. Credited to underground press organizations Chicago Seed and Liberation News Service, the image documents—in black and white, overlaid with patriotic red and blue—the civil unrest, student protests, and racial tension of the era.

The presentations and handouts from the 2012 CARLI Annual Meeting are now available.

From Postcard Collection (Lewis University) in CARLI Digital Collections Postcards are trophies of travel. It was interesting to explore this digital collection that includes primarily postcards of Joliet, Illinois, a place not far from my own home. Browsing the collection, I came to the realization that the Illinois State Prison was (is?) a tourist destination for visitors to Joliet.
