Wiggin Connecticut State Librarian A few weeks ago I attended Web-Wise 2002, a conference on libraries and museums in the digital world, at Johns Hopkins University. The Institute of Library and Museum Services and Johns Hopkins sponsored this thought provoking conference. This was my third trip to Web- Wise and again this year I came away inspired, but also very aware of how much I don't know. Sitting in a classic lecture hall with steep rows of seats rising upward, I listened to speakers and panelists discussing topics and using a vocabulary that hadn't even been invented when I sat in lecture halls as a library school student. We all know that the landscape of libraries, museums and archives (or any profession for that matter) is changing rapidly. Conferences and other continuing education opportunities abound to help us keep up on the latest developments. However, just keeping up with developments in our respective fields is no longer enough. Libraries, museums and archives are part of a larger community. Our services are not delivered in isolation from the latest research in reading and learning theories or developments in child health and development to name just a few. iCONN, the Connecticut Digital Library, can be an important professional development tool and it's available at most of our desktops. As a professional development resource it crosses many disciplines and is available when you need it. We have been promoting the use of iCONN far and wide (with good results), but how many of us are using it as our personal professional development resource? When I got back to my hotel room the first night of the Web- Wise conference, I logged into iCONN (proving to myself that it truly does work outside of Connecticut) and searched for terms like XML, Open Archives, and Flash 5. What I was able to find made me feel a little smarter, at least until the next day's program. So no matter what your field or level of knowledge, give iCONN a try next time one of your colleagues says "surely you're familiar with ... ." CSL's New Web Resource Julie Schwartz, Unit Head, Government Information Services The State Library staff has created a new resource designed to save you and your staff research time, while maintaining your ability to have timely information available on issues currently under consideration in state government. Current Issues is a changing series of research guides to electronically available information on topics of interest to the General Assembly, their staff, state agencies and the general public. Smart growth, teacher recruitment, electricity restructuring, and Connecticut statistics are just a few of the featured topics. Government Information Reference librarians compile the guides by carefully selecting reports from Connecticut state agencies and the Legislative Staff Offices, as well as information from the federal and other states' governments. Special effort is made to include items that compare and contrast multiple states' responses to an issue. Current Issues is available on the web. The Move to Van Block: A State Library Odyssey Richard Kingston, Director of Administrative Services Bright and early on Monday, March 4th, the State Library began its work in earnest. The job at hand was to move more than 31,000 archival items, 33,000 books and periodicals, 3,500 volumes of original Connecticut newspapers, and 3,500 linear feet of state and federal Supreme Court records and briefs, and do it in less than four weeks. As the new Van Block facility has over 10 linear miles of shelving; the task of removing, cleaning, moving and then placing all of these collection materials in just the right place was monumental.. With the very able assistance of the William B. Meyer Company all this was Vacuuming fragile materials. accomplished in an efficient and timely fashion and with a few days to spare. In January we began with an empty 45,000 square foot building; by the end of February, much of this space was filled with rows and rows of empty compact and fixed library and archival shelving. By the beginning of April, most of this empty shelving had been converted into solid walls made of cardboard box and bookbindings. The offices, once void of any items, are now filled with office furniture, computers, phones, and everything else staff need to do their jobs. The Conference Room that once could carry an echo for seemingly endless distances, now has chairs and tables wherever you look. Even the computer lab is taking shape with furniture and computers due for delivery any day Materials to be moved. now. As collection and archival materials have been given a new home, so will a number of State Library staff. LeAnn Johnson, the Public Records Grants Administrator for this agency, will serve as facility manager for the Van Block facility. Many State Library staff took part in the planning and execution of this daunting task. Stephen Slovasky headed up a group of dedicated Information Services staff while Bruce Stark did the same for the Archives Unit of the State Library. Just to mention a few of the many Information Services staff involved: Nancy Peluso, Kevin Johnson, Jose Martinez, Cheryl Schutt, Dick Roberts, Denise Jernigan, and Jane Cullinane. Bruce Stark from the State Archives was very ably assisted by Mark Jones, Lizette Pelletier, George Miller, and Edward Gutierrez. I also want to acknowledge the efforts of two of my staff who did a A new home for newspapers. wonderful job in making this building ready for occupancy. Mario Colagiovanni of Automation Services and Jenifer Miller of the Purchasing Unit were invaluable in making this project the success it has become. In addition to State Library staff, the building's owners, the Connecticut Department of Public Works, and the many vendors that worked with us to ready this facility are also to be commended for their cooperation and flexibility. Finally, I want to thank the State Librarian, Kendall Wiggin; the Public Records Administrator, Eunice DiBella; the Director of Information Services, Lynne Newell; the Administrator, Museum of Connecticut History, Dean Nelson assisted by Dave Corrigan and Howard Miller for all of their efforts in making our Homeric dream a reality.

Born and raised in Manchester, Fury weighed just 1lb at birth after being born three months premature. His father John named him after Mike Tyson. From Irish traveller heritage, the“Gypsy King” is undefeated in 28 professional fights, winning 27 with 19 knockouts, and drawing once. His most famous victory came in 2015, when he stunned longtime champion Wladimir Klitschko to win the WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles. He was forced to vacate the belts because of issues with drugs, alcohol and mental health, and did not fight again for more than two years. Most thought he was done with boxing forever. Until an amazing comeback fight with Deontay Wilder in December 2018. It was an instant classic, ending in a split decision tie. Outside of the ring, Tyson Fury is a mental health ambassador. He donated his million dollar purse from the Deontay Wilder fight to the homeless. This book is dedicated to the cause of mental health awareness.

  • (July-November 1863) Lincoln's Popularit
    Chapter Thirty-one “The Signs Look Better”: Victory at the Polls and in the Field (July-November 1863) Lincoln’s popularity soared after the victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Port Hudson. His old friend from Illinois, Jesse W. Fell, reflected the changed public mood. In August, Fell told Lyman Trumbull that during the early stages of the war, “I did not like some things that were done, and many things that were not done, by the present Administration.” Along with most “earnest, loyal men, I too was a grumbler, because, as we thought, the Gov't. moved too slow.” But looking back, Fell acknowledged that “we are not now disposed to be sensorious [sic] to the ‘powers that be,’ even among ourselves.” To the contrary, “it is now pretty generally conceded, that, all things considered, Mr. Lincoln's Administration has done well.” Such “is the general sentiment out of Copperhead Circles.” Lincoln had been tried, and it was clear “that he is both honest and patriotic; that if he don't go forward as fast as some of us like, he never goes backwards.”1 To a friend in Europe, George D. Morgan explained that the president “is very popular and good men of all sides seem to regard him as the man for the place, for they see what one cannot see abroad, how difficult the position he has to fill, to keep 1 Fell to Lyman Trumbull, Cincinnati, 11 August 1863, Trumbull Papers, Library of Congress. 3378 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 31 the border States quiet, to keep peace with the different generals, and give any satisfaction to the radicals.”2 One of those Radicals, Franklin B.

COLTON This second installment of the letters of Samuel Ryan Curtis, Congressman, engineer, and soldier, continues the publication of his correspondence through the first year of the Civil War, begun in the July issue of The Annals of Iowa as "The Irrepressible Conflict of 1861." As this second series begins. Colonel S. R. Curtis is on his way east to Washington, to attend the special session of the Thirty-Seventh Congress, and hopeful of winning a general's star in the volunteer army of the United States. Meanwhile his troops, the 2nd Iowa Volun- teer Infantry, continues to guard the Hannibal & St. Joseph Railroad line, to which duty they had been ordered in June, one month before. The reader will be interested in Curtis' comment upon the problems of supply confronting the Federal forces in 1861, problems much in the public mind in 1942, facing another war. Of special interest in this series of the war correspondence are the accounts of the developing crisis in the military command of the Department of the West, under that eccentric, colorful and at times pathetic figure.

Their reaction to these issues influenced and changed the nature of debates to destroy the regular army and close the military academy at West Point. Many in Congress and the United States held a deep-seated fear of the regular army that dated back to the colonial era. They feared that a standing army would become a tool of tyranny and destroy a republican government. Instead, many Americans preferred a volunteer system.
