Serious business or practical joke? That is the question that comes to mind when we examine this photograph in the 1945 edition of the Millidek yearbook.

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

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.
