Back Cover: Each of the 9,000 poppies underneath the Paul Sunderland Bridge represents 1,000 combatant deaths in World War I – 9 million total COMMEMORATING THE FALLEN, CELEBRATING THE PEACE DEAR FRIENDS, At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, the guns finally fell silent. After more than four years of the most horrific warfare humans had ever endured, an uneasy peace swept across the fields of Western Europe. Imagine what that must have felt like for the combatants – on both sides – one minute at war, the next at peace. Now, consider the fate of those such as Kansas City resident Pvt. Wayne Miner. A son of slaves, Miner volunteered for an ammunition run to a machine gun outpost hours before the armistice took effect. He died in service to his country moments before the armistice. He became one of an estimated 3,000 personnel killed during the period of time between when the armistice was agreed to (5 a.m.) and when it took effect (11 a.m.). Miner’s story raises an array of questions: Why did fighting continue that morning? Why weren’t both sides more passive? What prompted Miner – quite possibly aware of the war’s impending end – to volunteer for a dangerous assignment? We share the stories of heroes like Wayne Miner, in part, because they prompt us to ask important questions – both about the world of 100 years ago and the world we live in today.

JENKINS Distributed by The Illini Union Bookstore Champaign, Illinois Copyright 1966 by The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois FOREWORD The University of Illinois Graduate School of Library Science in cooperation with the Division of University Extension sponsors an annual Clinic on Library Applications of Data Processing. This volume presents the papers given at the third of these clinics which was held in the Illini Union Building, on the University of Illinois campus, on April 25-28, 1965. As Herbert Goldhor pointed out in the preface to the proceed- ings of the first of these clinics, in helping to meet the challenging problem posed by a mounting volume of publication combined with the increasing demand for factual information: "the Library School's role in this area is seen as half-way be- tween the theoretical work being done by those at the frontier and the needs of the practitioners in the field. It would be un- fortunate if there were no one doing the difficult and necessary exploration of new ideas and of possible solutions; it would be equally unfortunate if there were no one next in line to inter- pret this work and to pass on its results to those who will have to apply them in practice.

CONTENTS OF PACKET About the Exhibition Excerpt: “Sleeping by the Mississippi”, Alec Soth, Essays by Patricia Hample and Anne Wilkes Tucker Article: “Dismantling My Career: A Conversation with Alec Soth.” From Here to There: Alec Soth’s America (2010) 136-146. First Edition© 2010 Walker Art Center. Educator Resources About the Exhibition From Here to There: Alec Soth's America provides a focused look at an extraordinary photographer whose compelling images of the American road and its unexpected turns form powerful narrative vignettes. The exhibition will be the artist's first major survey assembled in the United States, exploring over 15 years of his career, and including an extensive new body of work. Since his inclusion in the 2004 Whitney and São Paulo biennials, Soth's reputation as one of the most interesting voices in contemporary photography has continued to grow. Though he has followed the itinerant path laid forth by photographers such as Robert Frank, William Eggleston, and Stephen Shore, with pictures that probe the individualities of people, objects, and places he comes across, Soth’s is a distinct perspective, one in which the wandering, searching, and the process of telling is as resonant as the record of these remarkable encounters. When considered together, Soth’s pictures offer insight to broader sociologies, and in the process form a collective portrait of an unexpected America. Featuring more than 100 photographs made between 1994 and the present, From Here to There includes rarely-seen early black-and-white images as well as examples from Soth's best-known series Sleeping by the Mississippi and NIAGARA.

    1 2 1 “For the first time in history, the majority of the world’s population lives in urban communities,” the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego observed with its 2010 exhibition Viva la Revolución: A Dialogue with the Urban Landscape. “The city itself, its buildings, vehicles, people, and advertisements, are not only the surface where the art is applied. The city fuels the practice.” The New Orleans urban landscape similarly animates and contextualizes Art of the City: Postmodern to Post-Katrina, presented by The Helis Foundation. This collection of art and artists illustrates the city’s multilayered character and confirms its significance as an incubator of cultural diversity. Art of the City focuses loosely on the period from the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition through the present—a vital yet turbulent era in the life of the Big Easy. The design of the world’s fair and the art it exhibited fit into the postmodern movement of the day, which rejected established styles and cultural norms and embraced a diversity of perspectives and forms. The convergence of these ideas and this international event in New Orleans left a lasting imprint Right and next page: Before I Die; 2011; chalkboard paint, spray paint, chalk; by Candy Chang; images courtesy of the artist 2 on the city and its artists.
