Illinois Periodicals Online:

The Illinois State Library  has announced "the addition of Illinois Periodicals Online (IPO) to the Articles & Etc. service of Find-It! Illinois. IPO is a project of the Northern Illinois University Libraries, DeKalb, Illinois. IPO start-up funding was provided by the Illinois State Library, a Division of the Office of the Secretary of State, using federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) funds awarded to them by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).

To date, the IPO project has reached agreement with ten journals: Illinois Country Living, Illinois Heritage, Illinois History: A Magazine for Young People, Illinois History Teacher, Illinois Issues, Illinois Municipal Review, Illinois Parks & Recreation, Outdoor Illinois, Point of View, and Prairie Farmer. The digital imaging of these titles is an ongoing process. The goal is to scan a magazine's entire backrun up to the current time. The IPO Web page also has links to a number of related Illinois sites.

This article reflects a development that may push the envelope for mobile computing.  Just another development for libraries to watch.

Sandburg papers go for $80,000 [LISNews.com]

This is an interesting item in that a small regional auction house in Pennsylvania, Tom Hall Auctions, was able to land such a prestigious collection of Chicago related materials.   They didn't really publicize this auction to Chicago area collectors and libraries.
