Wilson Company, 2003) Bishop, Dorothy“Why don’t we create a Reader’s Advisory page?” asked my co-worker, Mary. Our Library system (The Lake County Public Library, Indiana) had just posted its own Web page. Previously, Mary and I had taken an HTML class and we thought that together we could handle it. After all, we had been running theme-based Reader’s Advisory Displays for several years. How hard could it be to create a theme-based page every month to complement our display? Hah, were we naïve!Item Building Social Digital Libraries(H.W. Wilson Company, 2003) Börner, KatyThe accelerating rate of scientific and technical discovery, typified by the ever-shortening time period for the doubling of information – currently estimated at 18 months – causes new topics to emerge at an increasing rate. Large amounts of human knowledge are available online – not only in the form of texts and images, but also as audio files, movies, software demos, etc.Item Notes(H.W.

Wilson Company, 2003) Spencer, RhondaThis issue is a collection of articles gathered to help us think about the idea of “place.” If we understand the concept of place physically and metaphorically, we can better encourage new people to join our field. Place can connote a sense of belonging as shown in phrases such as: “This is my place” or “I belong at this place.” There can be changing places, new places, unique places, dangerous places, imaginary places, forgotten places, unknown places, curious places, and more. We have invited writers to help address the idea of place from different perspectives: their own experience, their library’s building as a place, their community, unique collections, historical views of Indiana, etc. There is an underlying wish or theme to help encourage the next generation of librarians and information professionals. We hope readers will leave the issue with a sense of pride in Indiana and in the profession. We hope readers will think about what is unique about their place (of work), and what is their own unique place in the field.Item Loyal to a Place: Developing Staff as Librarians(H.W. Wilson Company, 2003) Puacz, Jeanne HolbaRecruiting and retaining librarians by exploring the uniqueness of Indiana as a “place” is an innovative and exciting concept. In addition, why not explore the concept of recruiting individuals that have already chosen Indiana as “their place?” Many talented and motivated individuals already staff Indiana’s libraries. If recruitment efforts are focused on developing existing staff members, libraries are likely to be rewarded with professionals that are already loyal to their state, their library, “their place.” The success of this approach in a mid-size public library in Indiana will be explored.Item Indiana Libraries: Instructions to Authors(H.W.
