Item Sagamore of the Wabash(2017-10-30) Graf, JeffreyThe Sagamore of the Wabash award does not come with a seat in the house of lords, a kiss on both cheeks from the President of the Republic, or a hefty check from the King of Sweden. It is, though, or was until recently, the highest honor Indiana can give to acknowledge achievement or civic contributions.Item The Word "Hoosier" (Shorter Version)(2018) Graf, JeffreyAn edited version of "The Word 'Hoosier'" article by the same author, a former staff member for the Indiana University Libraries.Item What This Country Needs is a Really Good Five-Cent Cigar(2018) Graf, JeffreyIndiana governor (1909-1913) and vice president of the United States (1913-1921), Thomas Riley Marshall achieved a small measure of immortality with his quip, "What This Country Needs Is a Really Good Five-Cent Cigar." He never claimed the comment as his own, but its application to a senate (that "cave of winds") speech gave it lively currency.Item The Word "Hoosier"(2018) Graf, JeffreyA thorough investigation into the origins of the word "Hoosier" from a former member of the Indiana University Libraries Reference Services department.Item Diversity Residency Toolkit(ACRL Residency Interest Group, 2021-09) Adolpho, Kalani; Bergamasco, Maya; Corral, Ana; Peralta, Michelle; Rawls, Mallary; Tadena, Laura; Tavernier, WillaAlthough many factors contribute to a resident’s experience with their host institution, the lack of established standards and best practices for diversity residencies has led to a wide disparity of resident experiences. In order to reduce this disparity, the Diversity Residency Toolkit was developed to improve diversity residency programs through the tenets of responsible commitments, intentional planning, and responsive assessment that begin far in advance of a resident’s arrival.3 The Diversity Residency Toolkit has broad applications and is suitable for institutions that already have a residency program and as well as those who are considering developing a residency program. It may be used by current and prospective residents, residency coordinators, supervisors, library administrators, and other stakeholders of diversity residency programs. Although the toolkit is intended for diversity residencies hosted at academic institutions, it may be adapted for non-diversity residencies as well as non-academic organizations such as museums, public libraries, business libraries and archives, etc. Interested parties may complete the form at https://bit.ly/DivToolkit to participate.Item IU Libraries Course Material Services(2020-10-28) Vaughn, Matthew; Hare, SarahThis video describes the options and services that instructors have for selecting course materials.
