Grant from State-Wide Consortium
Exciting news! I have been awarded a grant from CARLI, the state-wide consortium, to develop the library's collections in Peace and War in Theater and Dance. I have to spend the money this year, so if you have any suggestions, please let me know (mchonechase@niu.edu). The only stipulations are that the materials have to deal with peace and war, that the titles are fairly unique within the state, and that once we purchase the materials, they have to be able to circulate within the consortium (so, for example, we would want anything too valuable or too rare).
I will be working on this project off and on throughout the year, until the money is spent. So, just let me know if you have any suggestions.

Grant
Exciting news!
The library has been awarded a grant to develop the Theatre/Dance collection as it related to war and peace.

I plan to have separate entries in this blog for those new items as they come in. If you happen to have any good potential titles, please let me know! (mchonechase@niu.edu)
