I don't have any suggestions, but think it's great you're having
the Institute at the Library. Alison Westfall

>Hello folks,
>
>Last spring we renovated the Digital Library Visitors' Center and renamed
>it the National Digital Library Learning Center. This means we have a
>space on-site to hold the institute portion of the 2000 AMF Program. In
>addition to the theater, which you may recall, we now have a 16-seat
>classroom with another large screen, and other spaces where fellows can
>work. (We'll be splitting the on-site part into two groups this year so
>that fellows will have a little elbow room.)
>
>One advantage to having the institute on-site is that we can have reference
>books and other materials, on hand for this summer's fellows to use. I've
>put together a small staff library in the Learning Center, which consists
>of materials purchased by the NDL or charged out from the Library's general
>collections. But I know it could be better.
>
>Please help me to help this year's fellows by sending me your
>recommendations of library titles that you think would be useful to have on
>hand during the institute.
>
>Currently our little collection includes the 1998 Encyclopedia Americana
>(1999s are in reading rooms), some American history titles, some technology
>books, plus a group of LC publications. Let me know about your favorite
>history, technology, and education-related titles, and any other works that
>you think would good this year's fellows to have right on hand. I'd like
>our four bookcases full of useful titles by July 1, so I want to get
>started now, in case (time intensive) purchases are required.
>
>Please do not assume that I already know about any title you might
>recommend. If your favorite titles are already selected, I'll make sure to
>keep them in. Also, if several people suggest the same title, then I'll
>know its worth extra effort to acquire.
>
>Send your suggestions either to me (ebro@loc.gov) and I'll summarize to the
>list, or just send them to the list for all to see. I'll bet you fellow
>fellows would be interested to know what secondary sources you wouldn't
>want to be without.
>
>Thanks.
>
>Betty
