I’m not a big fan of winter, but I feel like if I’m going to be cold and miserable, there might as well be snow.

Changes to CARLI Membership Criteria and Benefits

This fall, as part of CARLI's ongoing efforts to gather information about member libraries, the CARLI Board and staff visited twelve CARLI Governing and Affiliate member libraries. Informed by these visits and previous Board discussions, the Board of Directors approved several changes to CARLI membership criteria and benefits at their December meeting. Beginning July 1, 2014, CARLI Governing member institutions must be Not-for-Profit, and the institution must be incorporated in Illinois.

The engraved frontispiece to the 1724 edition of William Cowper’s anatomical treatise illustrates more than muscles.

This is a guide map for the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 (AKA the World’s Columbian Exposition). I decided to search across the CARLI digital collections and see what I could find on it. A sampling follows.

Here is a selection of videos designed to teach library staff or users how to care for materials.  While many of the pointers are the same, the ways in which the information is presented varies widely.

This image reminds me of a poem by T.E. Hulme:

"Above the Dock"
Above the quiet dock in midnight,
Tangled in the tall mast’s corded height,
Hangs the moon. What had seemed so far away
Is but a child’s balloon, forgotten after play.

From WVC Oubache (Illinois Eastern Community Colleges) in CARLI Digital Collections.

Wabash Valley College currently fields five varsity athletics squads, one of which, the men's basketball team, won a NJCAA national championship in 2001 and featured two future NBA players. Fifty years ago, however, the school's athletics programs were more humble. In the 1963 edition of The Oubache, Wabash Valley College yearbook, the men's basketball team is followed a page later by what appears to be the only other organized athletic endeavor at the school, bowling. Pictures of bowlers appear repeatedly in the yearbook, and it seems to have been a popular activity at the school.
