    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

    Envisioning Leadership: Principles of Feminist Management in Practice
    (Association of College and Research Libraries, 2024) cline, nicholae; Stoll Farrell, Karen
    To approach management from the lens of feminist thought creates a tension; if feminism is rooted in an analysis of power, what does it mean to willingly step into a role that accepts some level of power within an institution? What does it mean to not only acknowledge that power but also to wield it thoughtfully, from a feminist perspective? Incorporating feminist values and principles into the day-to-day activities of management requires a willingness to sit within that tension and to consciously find ways to bring those values forward. In the introduction to their edited volume Feminists among Us: Resistance and Advocacy in Library Leadership, Lew and Yousefi (2017) explain their concerns that feminists in librarianship were actively choosing not to enter leadership roles: “Often our colleagues saw an irreconcilable gap between occupying these named positions of power and their personal and professional politics” (p. 1). Their explicit argument is that “a grounding in feminist or other progressive politics is precisely what is needed in library leadership today” (p. 2). This chapter, then, takes up that call by attempting to offer a series of principles and practices explicitly rooted in feminist thought. We hope that readers can use these principles to help define what is most important to them and incorporate various practices immediately into their daily work.

    Library of Congress-Council on East Asian Libraries (CEAL) Cataloging Internship Program 2022
    (Indiana University Librarians Association, 2022-12) Reichert, Kumiko
    The article is the author’s report on the experience as the 2022 intern for the LC-CEAL Cataloging Internship Program. Council on East Asian Libraries (CEAL), the only group specialized for CJK librarianship and their professionals in the United States, in partnership with the Asian and Middle Eastern (ASME) Division, Library of Congress, annually hosts the Cataloging Internship Program, which provides training opportunities with those who may not have access to adequate cataloging training support in their own institutions, or with those who seek to gain greater competency in the formalities of their cataloging language. The nine-week-long program provided the author with the opportunity to learn in-depth on the best CJK cataloging practices as well as familiarize her with the Library of Congress.

    Seasonal Visual Literacy: Using Current Events to Teach Data and Spatial Literacy Skills with Adaptable LibGuides
    (ACRL, 2022) Fleming, Jacqueline; Quill, Theresa
    This recipe is one for your whole community! Since the beginning of March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we serve our library communities. One huge change has been the new emphasis on data visualizations that are publicly available and not always based on reliable information. This constant onslaught of visual information created an infodemic (information epidemic) that communities across the world were not ready to digest.1 This healthy and hearty recipe is for how to create a LibGuide on visual literacy and maps. The goal in creating this research guide is to give your patrons and community the nutritional benefits of data literacy and visual literacy skills. The combination of ingredients in this recipe will create a meal that gives the vitamins and healthy fats needed to recognize the different types of information sources making visualizations and understand how to read visual information and how to assess the reliability of the sources and the data presented in each visual. By focusing on current events, this recipe offers immediately actionable literacy skills in an easy-to-digest format.

    Working across Borders: Building Collaborations for Primary Source Instruction
    (Journal of Map & Geography Libraries, 2020-03-02) Quill, Theresa; Maryanski, Maureen E.; Meiman, Meg; Planton, Isabel; Press, Meggan; Schwier, Carrie
    Indiana University (IU) Libraries hosts a three-day Primary Source Immersion Program (PSIP) for instructors, to help them integrate primary sources into existing or new courses and foster their students’ information literacy skills in relation to primary sources. PSIP draws on the rich collections of IU Libraries, including University Archives, the Lilly Library for rare books and special collections, and the Herman B Wells Library Map Collections. PSIP began as a collaborative endeavor among instructors, archivists, special collections librarians, teaching librarians and collection managers, and has quickly become a support structure allowing for ongoing collaborations across a large university. This article describes the creation of the Primary Source Immersion Program, including the development of primary source-specific rubrics which were informed by the ACRL Information Literacy Framework and the SAA/RBMS Primary Source Literacy Guidelines. We demonstrate how the pre-PSIP landscape of primary source instruction on campus evolved to be more collaborative after the introduction of PSIP, briefly describe what happens during the three-day workshop, and offer several case studies which highlight resulting semester-long collaborations between instructors and librarians related to maps and spatial literacy. Finally, we discuss future directions for maps/spatial literacy that have grown as a result of PSIP.

    Current Issues in the Field
    (Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Press, 2021) McLaughlin, Margaret; Versluis, Ali; Hare, Sarah
    This is the pre-print version of the book chapter, which was submitted to the editors before peer review. As the field of open education has grown and OER adoption has become more widespread, discussion about related critical issues has also developed, particularly in the discipline of Library and Information Science (LIS). This section explores current issues that are often less visible or present in the literature but are paramount to librarians interested in furthering OER and representing the complexities of OER creation and adoption in their outreach. Our section begins by grounding OER usage within the larger publisher landscape, discussing trends in the delivery of OER and publisher attempts at “openwashing,” or co-opting open to further financial gains. We then address the unsustainable labor practices inherent in the open education movement, including the trend of temporary and part-time positions in leading OER work, limited compensation, over-reliance on grant funding, and a lack of recognition of collaborators. Finally, we discuss how technocracy is embedded in open education discourse, by addressing barriers students and educators face when adopting or using OER. Throughout the section, we present practical tips and resources, ultimately providing open advocates with a conceptual overview of critical issues as well as tangible actions they can undertake.

    Constructing citations: reviewing chat transcripts to improve citation assistance as a service
    (Emerald Insight, 2021) Wilkinson, Jaci; Denneler, Alyssa; Nay, Leanne; Johnson, Anna Marie
    Purpose Using chat transcripts from Indiana University Libraries, the authors examined a subset of transcripts involving citations. From this analysis, they propose improvements for citation assistance as a holistic service. Design/methodology/approach Two years of chat transcripts were examined and questions containing citation-related keywords were segregated for further examination. The authors used a test data set to create a coding scheme for the questions and responses. This scheme was then applied to all the citation-related transcripts. Findings 390 of 11,553 transcripts included interactions about citations. In 42% of the transcripts, no specific citation style was mentioned. American Psychological Association and Modern Language Association were the most frequently mentioned citation styles by chat users. Business reports (company data and market research), periodicals (journal, newspaper or magazine articles), websites and government documents were the most often asked about formats, but there was a wide variety of other unusual formats. Questions about EndNote were more common than other types of citation management software. Chat staff utilized a variety of responses including guiding the student by example, directing to an online resource for more information (85% of the responses) or referring to a citation management expert. An unexpected amount of hedging words in the responses indicates the presence of anxiety on the part of chat staff in responding to these types of questions. Originality/value This paper goes beyond most existing studies of chat transcripts by using chat transcripts as data to guide service improvements for a commonly asked but not typically discussed set of questions.

    In Good Company: Engaging in the Maker Movement Alongside Campus Partners
    (Taylor & Francis, 2021-01-01) Nay, Leanne
    Makerspaces have become increasingly common in academic libraries, but libraries are not alone in their enthusiasm for the creative and innovative culture known as the maker movement. As more libraries develop makerspaces, so do other campus units and universities. This article presents a case study of the Indiana University Libraries’ makerspace initiatives and their role in a larger network of makerspaces on the IU Bloomington campus. The author synthesizes examples from several institutions to make recommendations for libraries looking to contribute to the maker culture at their institution.

    The New Censorship: Anti-sexuality Groups and Library Freedom
    (Journal of Intellectual Freedom and Privacy, 2020) Watson, Brian M.
    Reviewing every issue of “Censorship Dateline” in the Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom and Journal of Intellectual Freedom and Privacy alongside ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom’s annual reports on censorship and the EBSCO ban in Utah, this article considers reasons for the significant rise in the targeting of libraries by individual anti-sexuality activists. Then the author considers what can be applied from the history of anti-sexuality censorship campaigns and offers possible plans for librarians.

    “There was Sex but no Sexuality*:” Critical Cataloging and the Classification of Asexuality in LCSH
    (Cataloging and Classification Quarterly, 2020) Watson, Brian M.
    This paper examines the addition of “asexuality” to the Library of Congress Subject Headings as a case study from which to examine the critical cataloging movement. Beginning with a review of some of the theoretical and practical issues around subject access for minoritized and marginalized sexualities, this paper then contextualizes, historicizes, and introduces the critical cataloging movement to the literature, situating it within a larger and longer history of radical cataloging. It will define critical cataloging as a social justice-oriented style of radical cataloging that places an emphasis on radical empathy, outreach work, and recognizes the importance of information maintenance and care. This paper introduces the concept of “catalogic warrant” to characterize the process of “reading” the catalog to examine the harm or benefit of terms on users and the wider library community.

    Hellfire and Cannibals: Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Erotic Reading Groups and Their Manuscripts
    (Edinburgh University Press, 2020) Watson, Brian M.
    Under the cover of darkness on the 30th of November 1737, twenty-four men from localities as far as Edinburgh and Dundee descended on the small seaside town of Anstruther in the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland. Under their dark cloaks, or secluded in their carriages, the men would have been well-dressed, convivial, and excited—for it was St. Andrews Day. For some of them, this would have marked their fifth year of attendance at a biannual dinner. For a select three, this would have marked their first attendance at this secret feast.

    Queer Beginnings: From Fanzines to Rule 34
    (Lexington Books, 2020) Watson, Brian M.; Derie, Bobby
    Rule 34 of the internet states: “there is porn of it, no exceptions.” In function, this is an observation that “there is definitely pornography and erotic fan fiction of your favorite fandom,” as demonstrated by reddit's /r/rule34, Archive Of Our Own, and other sites. Although common to the point of satire on the internet today, this phenomenon has its origins much earlier in the 20th century. Erotic fan fiction and fan art developed among the fan press, which provided an environment and outlet for publishing erotic fan works. This paper will trace the history of the rule 34 phenomena through science fiction and fantasy fanzines—from their beginnings in the 1930s as a response to the rise of pulp fiction, and onwards through the 1960s when it had proliferated into discussing and glorifying comics, television, and other media. As fanzine culture grew and proliferated, it created communities for LGBTQ+ individuals, their fan art and fan fiction. The meeting between LGBTQ+ individuals and fanzine culture led to the emergence of rule 34 phenomena well before the internet codified and popularized the idea. The publication of some of the first non-commercial erotic pop culture derivative art and fiction connects strongly to the evolving articulation of queer and minoritized identities in the fan culture.

    Bias and Inclusivity in Metadata
    (Archival Outlook, 2020) Watson, Brian M.
    Metadata—as any archivist, librarian, or information professional knows—is critically important. If you can understand and control metadata, you can control the knowledge discipline, even those you do not know anything about, according to Robert D. Montoya, assistant professor of information and library science at Indiana University Bloomington (IUB). Metadata can be lethal: “We kill people based on metadata,” said the former head of the Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency, retired US Air Force General Michael Hayden.

    Review: Archives
    (The American Archivist, 2020) Watson, Brian M.
    As long-term practitioners or readers of archival studies well know, there is a persistent tendency by nonarchivists to discuss “archives” as remote or overidealized Platonic sites, far removed from mundane things such as labor, sweat, or workday politics. It is gratifying to report that Archives, by Andrew Lison, Marcell Mars, Tomislav Medak, and Rick Prelinger, only half succumbs to this tendency.
