Here is a selection of videos designed to teach library staff or users how to care for materials. While many of the pointers are the same, the ways in which the information is presented varies widely.

This image reminds me of a poem by T.E. Hulme:
"Above the Dock"
Above the quiet dock in midnight,
Tangled in the tall mast’s corded height,
Hangs the moon. What had seemed so far away
Is but a child’s balloon, forgotten after play.
Decreta conciliorum Baltimorensium. (1865)
Wabash Valley College currently fields five varsity athletics squads, one of which, the men's basketball team, won a NJCAA national championship in 2001 and featured two future NBA players. Fifty years ago, however, the school's athletics programs were more humble. In the 1963 edition of The Oubache, Wabash Valley College yearbook, the men's basketball team is followed a page later by what appears to be the only other organized athletic endeavor at the school, bowling. Pictures of bowlers appear repeatedly in the yearbook, and it seems to have been a popular activity at the school.
Yesterday morning (Thursday, Nov 7th) at around 4:45AM, the disk space on the Voyager server reached 100% usage. All services were still online, but it prevented requests in VuFind and WebVoyage, blocked record updates in the Voyager Staff Clients, and caused other issues. Two problems combined to create this service outage:
First, a non-MARC file was manually generated to diagnose a record loading issue. An automated batch job retrieved this file and began working on it. We have modified the batch job to only retrieve files with a very specific file name structure.
As of 9:15am, CARLI Staff rebooted the Voyager server and all systems should be back online and working properly.

Recently, my 10 year old nephew showed me his book report in the form of a board game, which made me think about how dry adult education tends to feel in comparison to some of the fun ways children learn. However, recent research indicates that creative play encourages learning, even for adults. We tend to view children as not-quite-formed adults who need coddling. Flipping this belief, Kets de Vries (2012) argues that “better and more respective teaching would follow if … [instructors] thought of adults as atrophied children” (p. 18).
