The St. Joseph County Public Library is proud to announce that The Reformer, a newspaper printed by the local African American community during the Civil Rights era, will be the first available in a new Historic Newspapers collection. Michiana Memory, the Library’s digital archive of books, documents, postcards and photographs, will now contain newspapers from St. Joseph County, Indiana and neighboring communities. Each issue is name and keyword searchable with full transcripts and page images available for printing or downloading.
The Reformer gives readers a glimpse of the thoughts that were taking place on a local level during a time of turbulence and transition. One of the newspaper’s editors, King R. Giloth-David says, “You can learn a lot about South Bend during the 60s and 70s by reading The Reformer. You’ll recognize people you know and respect…the true heroes of the Civil Rights movement.” Additionally, George Garner, Tours and Collections Coordinator with the Civil Rights Heritage Center, talks about what a treasure it is to have new information about the area’s history so easily accessible. “It represents literally thousands of articles and observations from years reporting about the issues, solutions, and leaders by those within and working for communities of color in South Bend.” These documents are a vital resource, allowing researchers to gain more perspective on local responses to state and national events. Profiles and photographs are also included.
Through the funds of a State Library LSTA (Library Services and Technology Act) grant, the digitization of The Reformer now enriches the Civil Rights and African American History Collection already established through relationships with Indiana University. Joe Sipocz, Manager of Local & Family History Services at SJCPL, adds, “Of all the historical documents and photos we’ve uploaded for the grant project, The Reformer is the crown jewel. It’s the headlines and protests, but also the kids’ ball teams, church picnics and neighborhood dances. By making it fully available we are truly enabling our city to tell the history of that era.”

Please join us at Indiana’s Bicentennial Educator Institute this summer, July 12-16, 2015, in South-Central Indiana at Indiana University Southeast. Learn about Indiana's past two hundred years, analyze Indiana's present, and help us plan for our future during this four-day Summer Institute. Educators, youth, families, & GIS professionals will create legacy resources: giant county maps, timelines, and curriculum. Educators can relax and enjoy southern Indiana hospitality and diversity. Youth will learn and experience Indiana's past, present, and future. Families will enrich relationships through the many experiential learning opportunities. All Indiana citizens can benefit through improved geographic knowledge!
The Institute will coordinate field experiences with resource creation. We will be touring the Leora Brown School, Historic Corydon, the Falls of the Ohio State Park, Beck's Mill, Schimpff's Confectionary and more. Participants will contribute to the creation of 10'x10' county maps on vinyl, in collaboration with the statewide network of GIS professionals. Along with the giant county maps, a County Timeline incorporating county/state/nation/world events will be created. We need your suggestions for your geographic area! The county maps and timelines will become "legacy" geographic literacy resources to be used by schools, libraries, museums, surveyors, mayors, GIS specialists... citizens. The Institute is recognized by the Indiana Bicentennial Commission and will provide continuing education points. Watch the GENI website for additional details: http://www.iupui.edu/~geni.
These are opportunities for families and citizens to become engaged in making our own resources for geographic literacy. It should encourage everyone to experience the past two-hundred years of Indiana's foundation that will lead into another two-hundred years of amazing things.

The Indiana State Library (ISL) and the Academic Libraries of Indiana (ALI) Resource Sharing Committees are looking for that perfect symbol or logo to represent Resource Sharing in Indiana.
We realize that not everyone can draw, so entries do not need to be final designs, we are just looking for a sketch, a description or an idea that perfectly encapsulates resource sharing in Indiana. This means that this competition is open to idea people as well as to graphic artists.
If you have an idea, please send it in, or if you know someone who is good at this type of work, please share this message with them and encourage them to enter.
The deadline for entries has been extended to 1 July 2015. Details are available here.

The Indiana State Library is pleased to announce the roll out of the new InfoExpress webpage at InfoExpress.IN.gov. This newly redeveloped page incorporates many of the features that users have been asking for. New and improved features include parcels, manifest & label management, a more-user friendly user profile interface, and a much improved renewal system.
The renewal function is now turned on. This means that members can now renew their membership in InfoExpress for the 2015-2016 service years, which begins on July 1, 2015.
Costs for the courier remain the same as last year. The annual rate for InfoExpress continues to be $625 per delivery day; however the State Library will provide an upfront subsidy of $525 for the first delivery day. Public libraries not meeting standards for 2014 and privately funded libraries are not eligible for the subsidy. This delivery service subsidy is limited to one library per system, meaning branches are not eligible for this subsidy.
Additionally, these libraries can qualify for an additional $425 Resource Sharing Rate subsidy for a second day, if they meet one of the following criteria:
• Subscribes to 5-day-a-week InfoExpress service
• Subscribes to OCLC ILL System
• Is a net lender (#lends / #borrows>= 1.0)
• Is a member of Evergreen Indiana who subscribes to 2 or more days of InfoExpress service
2015-2016 Rates
(Effective 1 July 2015)
ServiceDays Unsubsidized
Subsidized Resource Sharing
One Day $625 $100 $100
Two Day $1,250 $725 $300
Three Day $1,875 $1,350 $925
Four Day $2,500 $1,975 $1,550
Five Day $3,125 $2,600 $2,175
• For the 2015-2016 year, a 2% late surcharge will be added to all payments received after October 1, 2015.
To renew your InfoExpress subscription, go to InfoExpress.IN.gov. Log in using your InfoExpress library and password then click once on the Renewal Form link on the right hand side of the page. Review the library profile information on the screen and make any necessary changes. Once all of the information on the screen is correct, click on Submit.
Your submitted renewal request will be reviewed by Indiana State Library staff. Once approved, you will receive an email message containing a hyperlink to a page where you can view and print your invoice or to pay your invoice by credit card.
 The My Community, My Vision pilot program invited high school student groups to submit essays outlining ideas for enhancing the development and quality of life in their home communities through their local research and in consultation with local officials and civic leaders.
My Community, My Vision is sponsored by the Office of Lt. Governor Sue Ellspermann and is being administered by the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (IHCDA) with assistance from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs as well as community development experts from Ball State University.
Up to five applications will be chosen to receive a $500 award for their sponsorship organization and will work with IHCDA, Ball State School of Urban Planning graduate students and community officials to create their plans.
1.It’s accessible! You do not have to have an Indiana State Library card or be a member of an Evergreen library to request items from the Indiana State Library. Interlibrary loan allows sharing of resources among libraries.
2.It’s easy! You simply make the request through your local public, academic, or special library. Your library will send us the request for you!
3.It’s convenient! Once interlibrary loan requests are approved, the items are sent directly to your local public, academic, or special library for you!
4.It’s affordable! If your library is in Indiana and uses InfoExpress, delivery is free! If your library does not use InfoExpress or is located out of state, the cost of postage is all you will be charged.
5.It’s flexible! Up to two renewals may be requested for interlibrary loan materials not on microfilm. As long as the item is not on hold, we’ll extend your loan period.
6.It’s unique! The Indiana State Library has the largest collection of Indiana newspapers on microfilm and they are accessible through interlibrary loan. Our materials focus on Indiana history and may not be found many other places.
7.It’s fast! Interlibrary loan requests are processed every weekday the library is open. Indiana State Library staff work hard to respond to requests in a timely manner in order to get materials to you quickly.
8.It’s LARGE! Print, that is. Items from our vast large print collection may be requested through interlibrary loan by Indiana libraries.
9.It’s adaptable! If an item cannot be loaned out, the material, or a portion of the material, may be copied for a fee in order to fill the request.
10.It’s for work! Indiana state employees may request work-related items from other libraries through the Indiana State Library. Contact the Reference division for more information.
