From CCC I & M Canal Photographs (Lewis University) in CARLI Digital Collections.

The Illinois & Michigan Canal was once an important transport artery between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River, but by the 1930s, the canal was in ill repair, and any significant commercial use was a distant memory. When the Civilian Conservation Corps was formed in 1933, work commenced on restoration of the I&M canal and the development of recreational amenities, eventually leading to the designation of the I&M Canal as a National Heritage Corridor in 1984. Lewis University’s CCC I&M Canal Photographs collection depicts the camp life and work of eight CCC camps, and the resulting fruits of their labor.

CARLI is beginning the first phase of the lengthy formal process of selecting and implementing the system that will ultimately replace Voyager as the software platform for I-Share. We do not plan to rename I-Share, but for clarity while we are still running Voyager and planning for its replacement, we will be using the phrase “I-Share Next” to refer to our future system.

I’m not a big fan of winter, but I feel like if I’m going to be cold and miserable, there might as well be snow.
