    Celebrating 20 Years BIUE: A Quick Look Back and a Fast Look Forward
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2006) Evans, Karen; Miller, Marsha
    In 1987, Indiana University - Bloomington librarians Emily Okada and Mary Popp had an idea, called together other librarians, and the Bibliographic Instruction/User Education (BIUE) of the Indiana Library Federation (ILF) was born. Initially, BIUE was created to: 1) Increase awareness of user education as an essential library service and play an active role in the development of Indiana Library Federation policies promoting user education; 2) Provide a forum for broad discussion of user education issues within Indiana Libraries; 3) Provide opportunities in which library workers from all types of libraries and from throughout the state of Indiana can share user education ideas, materials, and solutions; and 4) Help practicioners develop, improve and promote user education by providing information, skills, and tools.

    Creating a Library Fair
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2001) Evans, Karen
    Almost two years ago, I was a new librarian at Indiana State University. Naively, I asked the head of reference what kind of event the library planned to welcome students when the fall semester started. “None,” she replied, “but it sounds like a good idea. Why don’t you work on something?” “Be glad to,” I answered (having no idea what I was getting into). Following is our adventure in creating an event to welcome students to the Cunningham Memorial Library.
