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.md

This photo of BHE graduates is orignally from a yearbook, but has now been etched in my head as a nightmare forever.

Vol 1972: Recensio
Have you ever wondered about how yearbooks are named? Or why they’re even named at all, for that matter.

Bruce Cheadle spent the entirety of his 93 years in Lockport, Illinois. In a life that spanned almost the entire 20th century, Cheadle was undoubtedly witness to monumental changes in the Will County city that was once home to the headquarters of the Illinois and Michigan canal, a civic and commercial anchor of the community that was closed in 1933. Cheadle played an important role in Lockport's transition from canal town into a Chicago suburb known for its historic downtown, parks, and the Illinois and Michigan National Heritage Corridor, which runs along the route of the former canal. This photo depocts Bruce at age three, along with his grandfather, Arthur Deeming.

The Shield (1956)
This photo of the Joliet Junior College library in 1956 looks like a set from a 1950s television show. It seems to embody the idea of what a library was supposed to look like in the 1950s. Ms. Skidmore looks as though she may even have her hair in a bun, for goodness sake.

The Purple Parrot (Dec 1949)
What exactly is The Purple Parrot? This question has crossed my mind many times as I’ve searched through some of CARLI’s expansive holdings the past few years. From 1921-1950, The Purple Parrot was essentially Northwestern University’s answer to the Harvard Lampoon, a satirical magazine that skewers student life and cultural events of the time.

"The silence & quiet inactivity around this squadron is slowly driving everybody nuts. Pretty soon I'll be cutting out paper dolls in strings, I wish I could give you the full dope about this but I can't."
