February 2013 61 C&RL News

In the

Welcome to the February 2013 issue of C&RL 
News. Benn Joseph kicks off our second issue 
of 2013 with an overview of how Northwestern 
University took advantage of a digitization initia-
tive from a local consortium to scan and make 
available online archives of the Purple Parrot hu-
mor magazine, along with other materials.

Irene Gashurov and Ann Matsuuchi outline 
“CUNY’s Critical Thinking Sills Initiative,” which 
aligned information literacy instruction with the 
needs of students entering today’s workforce. In 
this issue’s Scholarly Communication column, 
Kevin L. Smith of Duke University provides a 
recap of the recent Berlin 10 Conference, held 
in South Africa.

Outreach to faculty and students continues 
to be a focus of all types and sizes of academic 
libraries. In their article “Faculty reconnect,” 
Alicia Virtue and Loretta Esparza of Santa Rosa 
Junior College in California describe the creation 
of a faculty outreach LibGuide to assist in the 
integration of library resources and instruction 
in the curriculum. 

At Southern Illinois University, the library 
welcomed traveling printmakers Drive By 
Press to campus as part of their focus on 
creative student outreach. Megan Lotts dis-
cusses the event in her article “Woodblock 
Woodstock.”

Also this month, we continue our look 
at the upcoming ALA/ACRL election with 
statements from the candidates for ACRL vice-
president/president-elect. Review the full state-
ments by the candidates for ALA vice-president 
in the March issue and vote in the election 
beginning March 18.

Make sure to check out the other features 
and departments, including Internet Resources 
on “Learning languages on the Web” by Seth 
Kershner, a The Way I See It essay on “Library 
catalogs and the changing political world” by 
Eugene W. Kelly III, and information on shop-
ping opportunities in our ACRL 2013 host city 
of Indianapolis.

Thanks as always for reading the News.
