Welcome from the Local Host Committee KNOWN AS THE CROSSROADS OF AMERICA, Indianapolis is within a day’s drive of over half of the country’s population. This year’s conference setting provides an opportunity to share a ride and a room with another member of your library team or to bring your family along. Situated in the heart of Indy, our conference hotel, the Hyatt Regency, is within walking distance of many top attractions and restau- rants. A skywalk connects the hotel to Circle Centre Mall, featuring ninety stores and services. For those traveling with families, the top ten-rated Indianapolis Zoo and White River Gardens is a thirty-minute walk. Both the Indi- anapolis Children’s Museum, the world’s biggest and best, and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Museum, home of the Indianapo- lis 500, are a fourteen-minute drive. Further afield, Conner Prairie, a nationally acclaimed history destination and outdoor museum, is a thirty-three-minute drive. Your local hosts have arranged two opportunities for Indianapo- lis historic walking tours on Wednesday. Both begin and end in the conference hotel. On Thursday evening, the Indianapolis Indians play the Toledo Mud Hens at Victory Field Stadium, a 10–12-minute walk from the hotel. Recognized as one of the best baseball parks in iii iv ATLA 2018 PROCEEDINGS the US, enjoy panoramic views of the downtown Indy skyline from Victory Field. For Indiana Librarians, Indianapolis is where we make connec- tions. Indy is the hub to which all the roads lead from our seminaries, colleges, and universities scattered throughout the state. We hope your road (or flight) also leads here. This year’s conference invites you to connect at the crossroads of America and to join fellow theological librarians in conversation and creative collaboration about the changing landscape of theological education, theological libraries, and theological scholarship. We look forward to welcoming you to Indianapolis. Come join us and experience Hoosier hospitality. Your Local Host Committee Co-chairs, Ken Boyd and Robert Roethemeyer Editor’s Introduction IT IS MY PLEASURE to welcome readers to the formal record of another wonderful ATLA conference. The 2018 gathering in Indianapolis, Indiana, brought together theological librar- ians from around the country and the world to listen, learn, and laugh together as they explored topics and themes both cutting edge and timeless. For those who participated in the conference in person, these proceedings will recall sessions they enjoyed attending and offer access to those they regret- ted having to miss. And those who were not with us in Indiana will find here a taste of the innovative, thoughtful work being done by ATLA colleagues and friends. The 2018 conference theme, “Connection at the Crossroads: Creative Collaboration in a Changing Landscape,” is reflected in several sessions presented in the Proceedings. Many theological librarians place “connection” at the heart of their work, and we find here accounts of connecting graduate students with library resources, librarians with faculty, and users with special collections. Creating and maintaining these vital and vibrant connections call upon knowledge and expertise from across the spectrum of library workers—catalogers, information literacy specialists, liaison librarians, and more. The theme of collaboration also resonated with many presenters and participants, and readers of this volume will surely find ideas and inspiration in projects that highlight creative, productive partner- ships between libraries and a variety of organizations and individuals, v vi ATLA 2018 PROCEEDINGS including writing centers, marketing specialists, and community members. Of particular note are sessions presented by our interna- tional colleagues, such as Kerrie Burn from the University of Divin- ity in Melbourne, Australia, and D’Anna Shotts and Anthonia Ahimah from Baptist Theological Seminary in Kaduna, Nigeria. The perspec- tive offered by these presentations made Indiana not just the “Cross- roads of America,” but a global meeting point. The ATLA annual conference and these proceedings play an impor- tant role in furthering the association’s strategic goals and upholding its core values. This volume is rich with content that demonstrates commitment to core values such as excellence in library collections and services and creativity, innovation, and transformation. The sessions recounted here showcase, in particular, the outstanding work being done by our colleagues in small libraries, where the challenge of limited resources is transformed into motivation for new approaches. Just as the smart, interesting content provided by conference presenters addresses themes of connection, collaboration, and creativity, the Summary of Proceedings as a document is also responding to the changing landscape. As part of the ATLA Press, it is published on an open access platform, broadening the impact of the annual conference and supporting the ATLA core value of offering the “widest possible access to relevant information and ideas.” The open access format makes the work presented here easy to share widely, encour- aging the development of new connections far beyond Indianapolis in June 2018. “Hospitality, inclusion, and diversity,” another ATLA core value, need not be limited to those occasions, such as the annual conference, when we have the pleasure of seeing one another face to face. We can also welcome colleagues at any time, from any place, to be part of the work we see reflected in the Proceedings, and I hope you will consider this volume an invitation to join the ATLA community.
