As a book conservator, I attended this workshop to continue my awareness of mold and the effects it can have on our library collection as well as learn about new treatments and if there are treatments that are no longer recommended. I was looking forward to the hands-on salvage demonstration so that I would be better prepared for a future water disaster. – M. Schoenborn
Seventeen CARLI Governing member institutions plus two Illinois consortia supported CARLI′s membership in the OTN.
Over the next three months CARLI Senior Director, Anne Craig, will be traveling to member libraries around the state for ″Listening Sessions″ with CARLI library directors.
The 2017 CARLI Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, November 17 at the I-Hotel Conference Center in Champaign.
CARLI has joined the Open Textbook Network (OTN), a consortium of colleges and universities working to advance open textbook initiatives. OTN supports the Open Textbook Library, a searchable online catalog of complete textbooks available for faculty and students to freely use, adapt and distribute to best meet the needs of their courses.
With more than a thousand items at present, the Digital Newberry’s digitized items span from 16th-17th century rare books to contemporary documentary photographs.
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.
We encourage you to take time to review the committee annual reports and projects for FY2017.
In addition to the committee's annual reports, the committees each work on a project that will be useful to the member libraries. The projects for FY17 are:
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.
All CARLI member libraries will transition on June 13–14, 2017 from the EBL – Ebook Library and ebrary platforms to the new ebook platform ProQuest Ebook Central™.
On Tuesday, June 13, 9:00-11:00 pm, ProQuest Ebook Central sites will be turned on and EBL links will redirect to ProQuest Ebook Central.
On Wednesday, June 14, 1:00 pm, ebrary holdings are merged into ProQuest Ebook Central and ebrary links will be redirected.

A lost statue left in a library admin suite sounds like a quality start to a mystery ready to be investigated by Rosemary & Thyme or whoever your preferred literary crime solver is...
