Librarian Embarks on International Program
Francis Kayiwa, Library Systems Coordinator, is pleased to announce his invitation to participate in a Carnegie Mellon Funded trip to Nigeria. The grant which was given to the Mortensen Center for International Library Programs at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Library will assist university librarians from seven Carnegie grantee institutions in East and West Africa to move into a fully automated on-line catalog environment and a computer-based library management system that will better serve the research and learning needs of their users.
Francis will be called upon to provide assistance in planning and implementation of an automated system.

E-STREAMS
The August issue of E-STREAMS, edited by H. Robert Malinowsky, has been posted. The following UIC Library colleagues have reviews in this issue:
4221. Encyclopedia of Analytical Sciences, by Marcia Dellenbach
4249. Chiefs Remember, by Lynn Westney
4264. Naval Institue Guide to Combat Fleets of the World 2005-2006, by Lynn Westney
Change in Library Staff Position Titles
After many years of discussion, the State Universities Civil Service System is revising the classifications for library-related positions into a single series. The overall objective of the change is to provide an efficient and effective classification and examination system that meets the needs of each employer. The new classifications are to take effect on October 1 of this year. Annie Ford and Cathy Sauer have been working with the Civil Service System employees managing this change. Many of you participated in the beta testing of new exams for particular job classifications. The new job titles in the library series are:
• Library Clerk
• Library Assistant
• Library Specialist
• Senior Library Specialist
• Library Operations Associate
All current library staff positions will be mapped to these categories. Cathy Sauer is working on this process. This is only a job title change and not a “reclassification” process. There should be no impact on anyone’s responsibilities or salaries as a result of the transition to this new system, or any change in seniority or anniversary dates.
Information sessions regarding this transition, open to all staff, will be held on the following dates:
• Wednesday, Aug. 31, Noon-1 p.m., Daley ELL
• Wednesday, Sept. 7, 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m., 303 LHS
If you have any questions, please contact Cathy Sauer (csauer@uic.edu). We will arrange several meetings to address your concerns. University HR will also be available to answer questions.
