Please join us for the Personal Knowledge Management webinar on Tuesday, March 17, 10 am–11 am, sponsored by the CARLI Public Services Committee.
What is Personal Knowledge Management (PKM)? It involves a range of relatively simple and inexpensive techniques and tools that anyone can use to:
CARLI is seeking interested, qualified CARLI governing member libraries to participate in I-Share, the shared Ex Libris Voyager integrated library system currently operated by CARLI and used by 85 CARLI libraries. Libraries joining in this implementation round would begin migration planning in fall 2015 and go “live” on Voyager and in the I-Share union catalog in early summer 2016. A brief summary of I-Share costs and benefits is available at from the I-Share overview page.
If you were unable to view the recent webinars presented by prospective library system vendors to the CARLI members, all five webinars are now online for you to view at your convenience. These are linked from the secure portion of the website, so if you are trying to connect to them from an IP address that is not at a CARLI governing member, you will be prompted to login.
A mysterious, hooded gatekeeper guards an austere foyer. Those who are permitted pass through the glass portal into an ethereal realm. Sunlight from a wall of windows bathes the room in a warm glow. Stained glass glitters at the far wall.
Quincy College-Gyrfalcon (1949)
This tranquil image comes from the 1949 yearbook for Quincy College, now Quincy University. The photo captures the bell tower of Francis Hall framed by trees laced with snow. Francis Hall was originally built between 1893-1898, and the building continues to form the backbone of the Quincy, Illinois campus today.
As part of CARLI’s project to seek a replacement for the Voyager software over the next few years, CARLI and the I-Share Next Task Force have invited firms that offer library management software to academic libraries and consortia to conduct an informational webinar about their product for CARLI Governing Member Libraries.
On Saturday, January 31st, at 11:53 AM we received reports of VuFind not responding. CARLI System Services staff investigated the problem and determined that it was due to one of VuFind's services exhausting its memory resources. More memory was added and VuFind returned to normal operation by 3:30 PM.

Due to a new Linux glibc exploit called "GHOST" that could be a serious threat to the security of our systems, Production CARLI servers/services will now start going offline to be patched and rebooted.
I will post another update when this work has been completed. If a service is offline or not working properly after emergency maintenance is completed, please contact support@carli.illinois.edu.

This photo dated from the 1870s captures the faculty of the Cook County Normal School, which evolved to become what is now Chicago State University. The Chicago Normal School was founded in 1867 and did not find its first permanent home until around 1870, so these instructors must be among the founding faculty of the fledgling institution.
