Libraries are 3D-printing masks and face shields. They’re hosting virtual storytimes, cultural events, and exhibitions. They’re doing more virtual reference than ever before and inding new ways to deliver additional e-resources. And through this di icult time, library workers are staying positive while holding the line as vital providers of factual sources for health information and news.

The Newberry Annual Report 2016 – 17
The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2016 – 17 Letter from the Chair and the President hat a big and exciting year the Newberry had in 2016-17! As Wan institution, we have been very much on the move, and on behalf of the Board of Trustees and Staff we are delighted to offer you this summary of the destinations we reached last year and our plans for moving forward in 2017-18. Financially, the Newberry enjoyed much success in the past year. Excellent performance by the institution’s investments, up 13.2 percent overall, put us well ahead of the performance of such bellwether endowments as those of Harvard and Yale. Our drawdown on investments for operating expenses was a modest 3.8 percent, well Chair of the Board of Trustees Victoria J. Herget and below the traditional target of 5.0 percent. In fact, of total operating Newberry President David Spadafora expenses only 22.9 percent had to be funded through spending from the endowment—a reduction by more than half of our level of reliance on endowment a decade ago. Partly this change has resulted from improvement in Annual Fund giving: in 2016-17 we achieved the greatest-ever single- year tally of new gifts for unrestricted operating expenses, $1.75 million, some 42 percent higher than just before the economic crisis 10 years ago. Funding for restricted purposes also grew last year, with generous gifts from foundations and individuals for specific programs and projects. Partly, too, our good financial results are owing to continued judicious control of expenses, exemplified by the fact that total staffing levels were 2.7 percent lower in 2016-17 than in 2006-07. -

The Newberry Annual Report 2019–20
The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2019–20 30 Fall/Winter 2020 Letter from the Chair and the President Dear Friends and Supporters of the Newberry, The Newberry’s 133rd year began with sweeping changes in library leadership when Daniel Greene was appointed President and Librarian in August 2019. The year concluded in the midst of a global pandemic which mandated the closure of our building. As the Newberry staff adjusted to the abrupt change of working from home in mid-March, we quickly found innovative ways to continue engaging with our many audiences while making Chair of the Board of Trustees President and Librarian plans to safely reopen the building. The Newberry David C. Hilliard Daniel Greene responded both to the pandemic and to the civil unrest in Chicago and nationwide with creativity, energy, and dedication to advancing the library’s mission in a changed world. Our work at the Newberry relies on gathering people together to think deeply about the humanities. Our community—including readers, scholars, students, exhibition visitors, program attendees, volunteers, and donors—brings the library’s collection to life through research and collaboration. After in-person gatherings became impossible, we joined together in new ways, connecting with our community online. Our popular Adult Education Seminars, for example, offered a full array of classes over Zoom this summer, and our public programs also went online. In both cases, attendance skyrocketed, and we were able to significantly expand our geographic reach. With the Reading Rooms closed, library staff responded to more than 450 research questions over email while working from home. -
Northern Illinois University
Business Schools SPOTLIGHT & Ethics/Sustainability Featured School: Northern Illinois University College of Business DeKalb, Illinois, United States www.cob.niu.edu/belief May 2011 AACSB International SPOTLIGHT | Business Schools & Ethics/Sustainability Northern Illinois University BELIEF Program | 2 The BELIEF Program at Northern Illinois University “What would Mom think?” is a common question that individuals ask themselves when caught in an ethical dilemma, but also a question, or “test,” that one college of business teaches its students to consider in their decision making process. The “Mom test,” is just one of the many ways the Building Ethical Leaders Using Integrated Ethics Framework (BELIEF) Program at the Northern Illinois University (NIU) College of Business (COB) hopes will instill an ethical mentality in its students. In 2004, NIU’s College of Business identified the need for faculty to have open and honest discussions primarily with its undergraduate students in regards to ethics. Subsequently, the school charged an Ethics Task Force (ETF) with the mission to integrate ethics college-wide, ensuring that the next generation of managers have a solid ethical foundation. The ETF (currently named the Faculty for Ethics Committee) initially comprised a cross-functional team of faculty and staff from departments across the COB. Dr. Pamela A. Smith, KPMG Professor of Accountancy and NIU Board of Trustees Professor, is one of the developers of the BELIEF initiative and describes the creation of the ETF as resulting from forces within and outside the program. Business leaders encouraged the college, “to treat ethics as a business fundamental rather than discussing it in an abstract philosophical manner,”1 and the ETF responded. -

It is the opinion of the editor of this issue of Library Trends that school libraries have now reached this enviable transition stage. There are healthy signs. A marriage has been arranged, represented by the 1969 Standards for School Media Programs prepared jointly by the American Association of School Librarians (ALA) and the Depart- ment of Audio-visual Instruction (NEA). Traditionally, marriages of convenience are arranged for purposes of consolidating and thereby increasing wealth, influence, and prestige and to produce a stronger dynasty. -

Audio-Visual Collection
Inventory of the Audio-Visual Collection in the Northern Illinois University Archives UA 11 INTRODUCTION The materials in the Audio-Visual Collection of the University Archives have been collected from various offices on campus. These records provide a broad and rich complement to the documentation found in the University Archives, especially for the period 1940 to the present. Researchers may have photographic, audio, and video copies made from items in this collection: patrons not employed by the University may procure copies at cost, payable in advance; University employees may charge copy costs to departmental budgets. This inventory will provide an introduction to the Audio-Visual Collection, but the researcher should work with a member of the Regional History Center staff since more detailed (subject access) finding aids are available for several of the more important record series, especially to the large photographic series where a selected subject index is available. 182+ linear feet 1899-present SCOPE AND CONTENT The Audio-Visual Collection is arranged in six major record series: photographs; blueprints and drawings; posters, broadsides, and pennants; films and video recordings; sound recordings; memorabilia, artifacts, and ephemera. The photographs series contains prints, negatives, proofsheets, and color transparencies [slides] collected by the Northern Illinois University's Office of Information (formerly Regional Services) and Media Production Imaging (formerly Office of University Relations and Art/Photo Services). This series is divided into two subseries: proofsheets, negatives, and color transparencies; and quick reference photographs. The negatives and proofsheets (779,971 exposures) are indexed chronologically and depict campus personnel, groups, buildings, and events from 1947 to 1996. -
