    Being a Freshman, Being an Author: An Interview With Teen Author Zoe Trope
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2005) Nowling, Gregg
    While most fourteen year old girls are hanging out at the mall spending their hard-earned allowance on new clothes and quarters for an all-day marathon of Dance Dance Revolution at the video arcade, Portland-based author Zoe Trope was muddling through her freshman year of high school and composing a diary, which would later be turned into a much praised work of young adult literature, Please Don’t Kill the Freshman: A Memoir. In the opening pages of the book, Trope displays her rare and witty teenage insight into the world of librarianship, insisting of the school media specialist, “You’re the one got stuck working in a high school library. No one chooses that profession, I’m sure.”

    A Crash Course in Teen Programming: Hosting Terry Trueman at Anderson Public Library's Read 'N' Feed
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2005) Hull, Beth
    “You know, our Teen Librarian hosts a READ ‘N’ FEED every year. You up for it?” Those were the words of my manager shortly after I was hired as the new Teen Librarian. READ ‘N’ FEED? What the heck was that? Soon enough, I discovered exactly what a READ ‘N’ FEED was, but before I had any idea of the adventure I was embarking upon, I replied, “Sure!” Ah, the enthusiasm of the ignorant.

    Documents Librarianship in Indiana: A Historical Review
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2005) Malcomb, Lou
    A topic of conversation and concern during ALA Midwinter was the announcement by Judith Russell, Superintendent of Documents, that “GPO will produce and distribute only 50 titles in print, those listed on the “Essential Titles for Public Use in Paper Format.” Everything else will be distributed to depository libraries in electronic format only. This decision had been mentioned at previous meetings of U.S. Federal Depository Librarians but never with a firm date for implementation, October 1, 2005. With all federal government information available on the Internet, will all librarians become “government information librarians” or will the specialist, “the documents librarian,” become even more important within the profession in order to maneuver the maze of our government’s actions on the information superhighway? This article provides a preliminary historical overview of how the specialty of government information grew within the profession with emphasis on its development within Indiana. Perhaps understanding its beginnings will assist in assessing future directions for this area of librarianship.

    From the Editor's Desktop
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2005) Burek Pierce, Jennifer
    This issue of Indiana Libraries returns to the format of the traditional general issue, featuring articles on diverse topics and concerning a range of library environments. Contributors to this issue work in public libraries and in education; they serve in positions ranging from school media specialist to administrator. The differences of experience and perspective represented by their work should offer readers of Indiana Libraries not simply ideas for their own libraries but also increased understanding of the matters which concern librarians in venues around the state.

    Indiana Libraries Affected by USA Patriot Act
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2005) Cochran, Steve
    The Intellectual Freedom Committee of the Indiana Library Federation developed a “Question of the Year” questionnaire in late 2003 to poll Indiana libraries about a) their knowledge of the USA PATRIOT Act, b) whether the USA PATRIOT Act has resulted in any changes in privacy and confidentiality policies and procedures, and c) whether or not national security related inquiries about patron reading & Web browsing habits have been made since passage of the USA PATRIOT Act. (USA PATRIOT Act is capitalized thus because it is an acronym for the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.)
