Susan Singleton, CARLI's first Executive Director following the formation of the consortium in 2005, retires on July 29.

"I have no doubt that new director Anne Craig, the Board of Directors, and the CARLI staff working with the truly outstanding CARLI community, will ensure a smooth transition for CARLI's future."

From Building UIC - The Facilities Collection (University of Illinois at Chicago) in CARLI Digital Collections.

From  St. Ansgarius Episcopal Church Records (North Park University) in CARLI Digital Collections.

I was delighted when North Park University published this collection of 19th century records from St. Ansgarius Episcopal Church in Chicago. My understanding is that many of these documents have been restricted for years due to their fragile condition, so it is wonderful that we can now view them online in digital format.

CARLI is pleased to announce Voyager Web Reports Beta, a new web-based reporting tool designed by CARLI staff to provide an easy way for I-Share library staff to run reports against their Voyager databases without the need to install the Oracle/ODBC client and use MS Access.  Results can be viewed, sorted, and searched in HTML format directly in your web browser, or they can be downloaded in CSV format for local manipulation.  The reports come from the I-Share Shared SQL for Voyager Reports, or from the stock set of queries provided by Ex Libris in Voyager's default Reports.mdb file.
