An Atlas of Indiana
(Department of Geography, Indiana University, 1970) Kingsbury, Robert
This small thematic atlas of the state of Indiana is offered by the Department of Geography as a contribution to the University's Sesquicentennial celebration of 1970. It attempts to present a broad coverage of both natural conditions and human activities on a state-wide basis. Some 109 maps are presented in this atlas. While the majority are original maps which have not been published before, some of the maps have been printed previously. Included are some revised adaptations of maps which appeared originally in An Atlas of Southern Indiana, Occasional Publication No. 3, Department of Geography, Indiana University, 1966. (This atlas is now out-of-print). A few others are copies of existing maps prepared by the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce (U.S.), Geological Survey, Department of Interior (U.S.), and geological Survey, Department of Ntural Resources (Indiana). Complete explanation will be found under About the Cartography on pages 86-87, and a listing of major statistical and cartographic sources for all maps starts on page 88. A small atlas of this type necessarily includes only a small selected group of maps.Obviously, a large number of other maps could have been included or could have been substituted for those included here. The final map selection was based upon presenting subjects of the greatest potential interest to the widest possible audience. Only the user can say whether or not a wise selection of maps has been made. A relatively unique feature of this atlas is the inclusion of computer-generated cartography. A few maps were compiled by computer and then hand drafted, but most of the computer maps are presented just as produced by the printer. I am indebted to the personnel of the Research Computing Center, Indiana University and to Professor Jerome Clemens of the Department of Geography for their considerable assistance in this computercartography. Further explanation of these computer maps is included also under About the Cartography. Appreciation must be expressed to numerous other people for helping with the compilation of this atlas. Special thanks are due John M. Hollingsworth, Staff Cartographer,Department of Geography, who drafted the maps on pages 76-79, originally devised the computer maps on pages 24-27, and provided other valuable assistance in the production of this atlas. Phani Deka, a graduate student in geography, aided by preparing some of the map type. Several students in cartography courses prepared maps for this atlas. These contributors and the page numbers on which their maps appear: William P. Ciz * 80, 81, 82 Dan Dull * 65 (sweet corn) Joyce Fox * 70, 71, 72 (distribution maps only) Dan Graef * 65 (popcorn), 69 (tobacco) James F. Sanford * 7, 13, 18, 20, 21, 29, 41 Phillip R. Terman * 12, 16, 17, 22, 23, 30, 31 If this atlas proves of use, we would like to compile a revised edition once the statistical materials of the 1970 Census of Population become available. At that time, we want to correct any errors on the existing maps. Thus, all information on corrections needed as well as suggestions for map additions or deletions are solicited from users of this atlas. Robert C. Kingsbury Associate Professor of Geography March 1970

The Nature of Relevance in Information Retrieval: An Empirical Study
(The Library Quarterly, 1993-07) Park, Taemin Kim
Experimental research in information retrieval (IR) depends on the idea of relevance. Because of its key role in IR, recent questions about relevance have raised issues of methodological concern and have shaken the philosophical foundations of IR theory development. Despite an existing set of theoretical definitions of this concept, our understanding of relevance from users' perspectives is still limited. Using naturalistic inquiry methodology, this article reports an empirical study of user-based relevance interpretations. A model is presented that reflects the nature of the thought processes of users who are evaluating bibliographic citations produced by a document retrieval system. Three major categories of variables affecting relevance assessments-internal context, external context, and problem context-are identified and described. Users' relevance assessments involve multiple layers of interpretations that are derived from individuals' experiences, perceptions, and private knowledge related to the particular information problems at hand.
Epigaea repens in Indiana : habitat associations and the effects of controlled burning
(Indiana University, 1994) Beckman, Roger, 1950-; Whitehead, Donald R.; Clay, Keith; Delph, Lynda
As Epigaea repens L. (trailing arbutus) is a rare plant in Indiana, I studied four sites in south-central Indiana to identify habitat requirements and to locate additional sites. Habitat factors studied included soil type, companion vegetation, litter exposure, slope, 0 horizon depth, aspect, canopy cover, and pH. Epigaea repens is mostly found with litter exposure between 30-60%, slopes of 20-30°, O horizon 1.5-2.0 cm deep, an aspect between 180 " (south) and 330" (northwest), canopy cover > 70 %, low sapling density (0 to 0.12 saplings/rd), and a mean soil pH of 3.5. A controlled burn of 15 test plots was done to determine response to fire and litter removal. Flowering 13.5 months after the burn indicated that the burn had a significant negative effect. Seventeen and 1/2 months after the burn, a census of leaves, buds and stems indicated that the burn portions of the plots fared worse than the buffer or control portions. Twenty-five and 1/2 months after the burn the mean number of blossoms was still lower on the burn portions but it was not statistically significant. Sex ratios from three populations were measured for an indication of colony isolation and environmental conditions. All of the populations were slightly female biased. Competition with Vaccinium pallidum, a common companion species, may help restrict E. repens. Sites without E. repens but where the pH is suitable and where Vaccinium pallidum occurs were examined to help determine whether the distribution of E. repens is caused by historic accident or local habitat factors. The future outlook for the persistence of E. repens is positive. Suggestions for a management plan are (1) to locate additional sites, (2) to avoid timber harvesting near present sites in Morgan-Monroe State Forest and (3) to avoid burning as a management tool.

ARL Library Director Survey Results
(1996) Neal, James
Presents the findings from a national survey sent to library directors at ARL institutions. Neal estimates that 65 institutions employ approximately 564 area librarians nationwide.

Area Librarian Survey Results
(1996) Schmidt, Nancy J.
Presents the findings from a national survey sent to area studies librarians. Schmidt concludes that more than 80% of area librarians spend half their time or more on area librarianship activities; further, approximately 40% of that time is spent on collection development tasks. Over 70% of area librarians hold an advanced subject degree in addition to an MLS and nearly 35% also hold a doctorate.
