The call for applications for the Institute for Research Design in Librarianship (IRDL) 2016 is now open. IRDL is seeking novice librarian researchers who are employed by academic libraries or research libraries outside an academic setting in the United States to participate in the Institute. Novice researchers typically may have conducted research but have not yet had a peer-reviewed article published as the primary author or had an individual presentation accepted by a peer-reviewed conference. We define “novice” broadly; if you feel that you would benefit from being guided throughout the entire research design process, we encourage your application. Librarians of all levels of professional experience are welcome to apply.
The third workshop will be held on June 6-16, 2016, with arrival on campus on Sunday, June 5, and departure on Friday, June 17.
For more information about the project, including the project partners, the San José State University School of Information and the Statewide California Electronic Library Consortium (SCELC), please see the project website: http://irdlonline.org.
We seek librarians with a passion for research and a desire to improve their research skills. IRDL is designed to bring together all that the literature tells us about the necessary conditions for librarians to conduct valid and reliable research in an institutional setting. The cohort will be chosen from a selective submission process, with an emphasis on enthusiasm for research and diversity from a variety of perspectives, including ethnicity and type and size of library.
We will be accepting applications from December 1, 2015 to February 1, 2016.
Scholars accepted to the Institute will be notified in early April, 2016.
Please contact Project Directors with any questions about the Institute or the application process: Kristine Brancolini, Dean of the Library, Loyola Marymount University (brancoli@lmu.edu) Marie Kennedy, Serials & Electronic Resources Librarian, Loyola Marymount University (marie.kennedy@lmu.edu).
In the next few weeks, all public libraries in Indiana will receive a “bundle” (box) of materials from The National Center for Families Learning and Hoosier Family of Readers, Superintendent Glenda Ritz’s literacy initiative. This is the third year of her mission: to build a culture of readers in Indiana by supporting schools and public libraries in their mission to get books in the hands of students and their families. We encourage you to schedule a family engagement event at your library soon to promote her mission. The bundle will contain all the materials you will need to host a family engagement event in your library. Included will be an event guide to help you plan the event, as well as 30 copies each of a parent guide, a poster for each family to help them record their reading, a bookmark for each family that provides conversation starters for parents when reading with their child, and a suggested booklist to encourage reading in a variety of topics and genres. Superintendent Ritz would like to attend your event as her schedule permits. In the bundle, you will find a letter from her with instructions on how to contact her if you would like to invite her to your event. Contact Jill Lyday, Secondary Literacy Specialist/Hoosier Family of Readers Initiative/Indiana Department of Education at jlyday@doe.in.gov for further information or questions.

The task force is offering a free webinar at 1 p.m. EST on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2015, to inform academic libraries of the changes and help the community prepare to complete the FY 2015 IPEDS Academic Libraries Component survey.

The Indiana State Library has made its Camp Atterbury World War II photographs available online just in time for Veterans’ Day on November 11th. Comprising nearly 300 black-and-white, 3x5-inch photographs, the collection depicts aspects of life at the Indiana military training base in the midst of the Second World War.
The photographs were taken by Lieutenant William J. Moriarty, Sr. for the Signal Corps while he was stationed at Camp Atterbury in 1943. Not long after the pictures were taken, Lt. Moriarty was recruited by the Office of Strategic Services and assigned to a ten-man team, which parachuted into France 11 days prior to the D-Day invasion.
Over 275,000 soldiers—many from Indiana—trained at Camp Atterbury during World War II, including the 83rd Infantry Division; 8th Detachment of Special Troops, 2nd Army; 365th Regimental Combat Team, 92nd Infantry Division; 30th Infantry Division; and 106th Infantry Division. The base was staffed by members of the 5th Service Command, including the 1560th and 1537th Service Units, and the 3561st Service Unit of the Women’s Army Corps (WAC).
Located 4 miles west of Edinburgh, Indiana, Camp Atterbury functioned like a small city with its own theaters, service clubs, gymnasiums, swimming pools, sports fields, and health care facilities. The U.S. Army base occupied 40,351 acres (63 sq. mi.) when it was first activated as a military training camp on June 2, 1942. Camp Atterbury had a population comparable to that of Columbus, Indiana today, providing housing for 44,159 officers and troops. Today Camp Atterbury provides training and testing sites for military and civilian responders from around the world, as well as the Indiana National Guard.
Visit the online collection and catch a glimpse of daily life for the brave servicemen and women at Camp Atterbury during World War II. Twenty percent of the collection has been added to the library’s digital collections website with more going up online each week. The images are part of the Indiana State Library Manuscripts Photograph Collection in Indiana Memory.
Genealogy for Night Owls is back on November 18 from 4:30pm to 8:30pm at the Indiana State Library. Come get expert advise from our librarians and sign up for free one-on-one genealogy sessions.
