    A Collaborative Approach to Teaching "Reference"
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Shaw, Debora; Okada, Emily
    In 2001 the Indiana University School of Library and Information Science (SLIS) revised its curriculum for the Master of Library Science Degree. The employers of SLIS students, SLIS alumni, and the faculty members and students who participated in the curriculum review agreed that, even at the dawn of the 21st century, any student planning to call himself or herself a librarian would need to take a course in reference sources and services.

    Collaboration in Library Research
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Stamatoplos, Anthony C., 1958-; Mackoy, Robert
    Collaboration provides many opportunities and benefits to partners in library research, as well as to the library profession and literature. Through the application of diverse but complementary perspectives and skills, each partner plays an important role and makes a unique contribution to the whole enterprise. Research collaboration is a relationship and a process in which two or more persons work together to produce new knowledge. Ideally, each party contributes in various unique ways to the endeavor.

    Excerpts from Peter Krass's Lecture "Andrew Carnegie: Ruthless Empire Builder and Pioneering Philanthropist"
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Krass, Peter; Gustaferro, Janice E.
    “What I came to realize about Carnegie is that he is really like a flawed Shakespearean hero… he really did consider the world a stage… and when he was on that stage he wore a variety of masks and behind each mask was a distinct character and you really could not reconcile various characters.” “He would attempt to promote himself and ideas in one direction, but practically speaking it didn’t work. You get an idea that there are these two sides to Carnegie, this idealist side and this practical man.”

    Excerpts From Sally Gardner Reed's Lecture "The Power of Friends: Raising Support for Your Library and Non-Profit"
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Reed, Sally Gardner, 1953-; Gustaferro, Janice E.
    “I think that we are at a very critical juncture with libraries.... We have challenges coming from the federal level in terms of policy making that’s not always library friendly and, of course, we have the economy and the money, which I think is more seriously threatened than ever before. Many of you may have heard that even during the great depression there isn’t at least any known case of a library closing and yet today they’re threatened everywhere.” “The privatization of publicly funded libraries is a new wave and it concerns me.... The people who make decisions for library funding… are really looking to save money, it’s not that they’re looking to make the libraries run better.”

    From the Editor's Desktop
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Burek Pierce, Jennifer
    his issue of Indiana Libraries marks a transition: Emily Okada, who has served as Editor since 2000, has stepped aside and facilitated my role as the new Editor of Indiana Libraries. I use the phrase “stepped aside” purposefully: Emily has not left Indiana Libraries entirely but instead now offers her experience and advice in the capacity of Associate Editor. The working relationship we have developed led to the thematic focus on partnerships for this general issue. One simple denotation of partnership is this: “A relationship of individuals or groups marked by mutual cooperation and responsibility.” The realities of working with partners are more complex, challenging, and nuanced than such a simple definition might suggest. The articles presented here represent different ways that Indiana librarians put this concept into practice. Librarians, administrators, faculty, and library school students describe the ways partnerships benefit both libraries and the communities they serve.

    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Preer, Jean L.
    The expansion of the Indianapolis program of the Indiana University School of Library and Information Science has made possible an array of collaborative efforts and potential partnerships. Since fall 2002, Indiana University’s library school has been a single program in two locations with full-time faculty in Bloomington and Indianapolis, and a shared mission and curriculum. Located on the campus of Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), SLIS Indy has an urban base in the state capital, affording proximity to an array of libraries.

    Library Services for Hispanic Patrons
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Buck, Katie; Millikan, Karyn; Rider, Cindy; Smith, Sadie
    Data from the 2000 Census show that “the Hispanic population has grown faster than the overall U.S. population since 1990 and is projected to become the largest U.S. minority group by 2005,” comprising 12.6% of the U.S. population. By 2050 that number will increase to 25%.2 The implications of these statistics give a clear mandate to public libraries to develop collections and services to meet the needs of the growing Hispanic population. This paper discusses the history of library services to Hispanics and current needs for staff development, marketing, programming, outreach services, and collection development to provide these services.

    Management Basics: Trust: The Glue That Holds Partnerships Together
    (H.W. Wilson Company, 2004) Wiethoff, Carolyn
    The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him. Henry Stimson (1867 - 1950) Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence. Democritus (460 BC - 370 BC) Trust, or “an individual’s belief in, and willingness to act on the basis of, the words, actions, and decisions of another”, is one of the most important components of partnerships. Without it, groups experience suspicion, defensiveness, and harmful conflict. With it, partnerships can thrive as people comfortably come together to collaborate and share ideas openly. An understanding of trust—what it is, how it develops, and how it can be repaired—is important for anyone planning to partner with others.
