Front cover of Halcyon quarterly periodical, March 1971
Halcyon, March 1971, Front Cover, from Halcyon Magazine Collection (William Rainey Harper College) in CARLI Digital Collections

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.

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.

The CONTENTdm user community is hosting an all-virtual meeting and is looking for participants for brief presentations. Want to show off your digital collections, but no time to prep a formal presentation? Share tips, tricks, or just something fun about your CONTENTdm website with the global community of CONTENTdm users during the first-ever Virtual User Group meeting on November 7, 2012. Though we have proposals for a full slate of excellent in-depth talks, we do have several slots available in our lightning round, which will feature a series of 5-7 minute talks/demos.
