Gary Wiggins's article "Chemistry on the Internet: The Library on Your Computer" was published in the November/December 1998 issue of the Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences (v. 38 no. 6). It was one of 9 invited articles published in a special section of the issue devoted to the 50th anniversary of the American Chemical Society's Division of Chemical Information.
Jim Baldwin, Associate Librarian and Resource Development Team Leader at IUPUI University Libraries, is the co-author of an essay on "Approval Plans and Approval Vendor Selection in an Outsourcing Environment," published in the current issue of Library Acquisitions: Practice & Theory (Vol. 22, no. 4 [1998]).
On November 11, the Chemistry Library suffered another flood in the bound journals area. Approximately 500 volumes were wet, some them soaked through. Thanks are due to all who helped with the cleanup and salvage operation, especially Jo Burgess, Head of Conservation Services. My greatest thanks, however, go to the Chemistry Library staff, who once again managed to save every volume that was damaged by water.
The Life Sciences Library had a planning and cleaning party on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. One of our objectives was to remove or discard items that were no longer needed. We made fantastic progress in a remarkably short period of time. In addition, we identified many repairs that need to be made to the library and other projects that will be addressed over the coming months. Thanks to Matt Myers and the Libraries moving crew for helping with this effort and a special thanks to the Life Sciences Library staff for pitching in with such enthusiasm!
--Gary Wiggins, Head, Chemistry Library; Acting Head, Life Sciences Library

How to procure & managing endowments and gifts; Digital Libraries Team: how do they envision a project & put it together?; Copyright issues (e.g., the new Digital Millennium Copyright Act)
