    Resources for Art in Online Government Information
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2007) Morrison, Andrea Marie, 1957-
    Government information in paper and digital formats is a rich resource for fine art, graphic art and images for library users. Over the history of our country, U.S. federal and state governments published artwork, illustrations, graphics, maps, photographs, posters, portraits and illustrations, and now much of this artwork can be accessed through digital collections. There is usually no charge to access this information and very few copyright restrictions. Indiana state government information provides a wealth of artwork relating to our state, both current and historical. This article will discuss the type of art available in online government information and describes selected exemplary resources issued by the U.S. federal and Indiana state governments. Only some of the vast wealth of resources will be highlighted. Art resources inspiring to children will be included. Hopefully, this introduction to artwork in online government information will inspire librarians from all kinds of libraries to refer to this information regularly.

    Using the Internet for Reference: Two Points of View
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 1997) Morrison, Andrea Marie, 1957-; Maxwell, Donald W., 1961-
    Using the Internet for reference is a daily part of our jobs, a fascinating, complex, riveting part of our jobs. When we first began to use the Internet very regularly, it would have greatly assisted us to have practical tips. The objective of this article is to organize practical information on using the Internet for reference, for beginning to moderate users of the Internet, regardless of what type of library they work in. What we share with you is a combination of experience and research from the perspective of two librarians. Maxwell is the reference librarian at the Bloomington Indiana Cooperative Library Services Authority (INCOLSA) office and handles reference questions of a diverse nature from regional libraries. Morrison is a government publications librarian at Indiana University Bloomington, and handles reference questions particularly on the U.S. Federal Government and on statistics. When we refer to the Internet in this article, we are referring to the World Wide Web, although we recognize that the Internet is more broadly interpreted than just the Web.
