Item Indiana Libraries: Indiana Library Federation Professional Journal Advertising Reservation Form(H.W. Wilson Company, 2003) Indiana LibrariesItem U.S. Government Electronic Information Resources: A Start-Up Kit for Small and Medium-Sized Libraries(H.W. Wilson Company, 2003) Truesdell, Cheryl B.The U.S. Government is the largest producer of information in the world. Through its agencies it creates, gathers, and produces information on topics from the arts to the sciences and for all types of library users –children to senior citizens. Since 1858 the Federal Depository Library Program (F.D.L.P.) has been responsible for collecting, organizing, maintaining, preserving, and providing information from the federal government. Congressionally- designated libraries (up to two per congressional district) receive selected classes of government resources at no cost, and in return are obligated to provide open and free access to this material. These include some of the most useful reference sources at the information desk – the Occupational Outlook Handbook, Statistical Abstract of the United States, and the World Factbook. While depository libraries receive these items free, non-depository libraries have had to purchase these materials from the Government Printing Office (G.P.O.) or a repackaged version from a commercial publisher.Item Indiana Libraries Guest Editor Guidelines(H.W.

Wilson Company, 2003) Smedberg, HeatherOn Wednesday, December 5, 2001, the web sites of the United States Department of Interior, including all related bureaus, agencies, and organizations, were removed from the World Wide Web, without notice or any information on when would-be-users could expect restored service. The shutdown was a result of that day’s ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Royce C. Lamberth in connection with a long-running civil lawsuit between members of various American Indian tribes and the Department of the Interior. The lawsuit deals with the mismanagement of Indian Trust Monies for over a hundred years by the Department of the Interior, but was brought to the attention of the wider public audience when it caused this widespread interruption of Internet service.Item Indiana Library Federation Publication Subscription Information(H.W.

Wilson Company, 2003) Chapman, BertThe September 11, 2001 Al Qaida terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and Pentagon brutally taught Americans that our status as the world’s sole superpower does not immunize us against military attack. These attacks resulted in a partial loss in public access to government information as some federal agencies withdrew from their web sites material they regarded as sensitive for national security reasons.Item Table of Contents(H.W.

Wilson Company, 2003) Malcomb, Lou; Mahaffy, MardiThe Island of Lost Maps, a popular little book written by Miles Harvey, recently came to the attention of many librarians and the public at large on the value of rare maps. Its author explores the theft of historical maps from some of the world’s most famous libraries. Looking at some of the titles described by Harvey, most “documents” librarians would recognize that some of the titles were originally published by the U.S. government in House and Senate Documents and compiled into the U.S. Congressional Serial Set, hereafter referred to as the Serial Set.Item Cover(H.W.
