�Across the Librarian’s Desk
There was a strange stillness. The
birds, for example where had they
gone? Many people spoke of them,
puzzled and disturbed. The feeding
stations in the backyards were
deserted. The few birds seen any
where were moribund; they trem
bled violently and could not fly. It
was a spring without voices. On the mornings that had
once throbbed with the dawn chorus of robins, catbirds,
doves, jays, wrens, and scores of other bird voices
there was now no sound; only silence lay over the fields
and woods and marsh. So began opening passages in
Rachel Carson’s 1962 classic, cautionary, tale Silent
Spring. The message of that book was immediate and
lasting: what man does to alter his environment can
sow the seeds of a terrible harvest. That book detailed
the inexorability, precision, and terrible lasting price of
unintended consequences.
Those lines were recalled to me late this summer when
my neighbors and I realized that the chorus of birds our
neighborhood had always enjoyed was silent. Gone were
the sparrows, the crows, the blue jays and robins, gone
were almost all the birds except ones passing through.
No longer was I awakened to the raucous caws of a
family of crows that frequented my backyard, no more
brazen blue jays. In fact no birds at all. The cause is, of
course, the West Nile Virus. Illinois leads the nation in
human cases of the illness and in the number of deaths
attributed to it. For reasons seemingly unknown to sci
ence, Illinois is the epicenter of this new and baffling
illness and the first to fall are our friends the birds. As
Rachel Carson had so accurately predicted, the birds
acted as the barometer of the health of the environ
ment.
Well-meaning voices have been raised to resurrect the
use of DDT—one of the most dangerous and persistent
poisons ever devised by man—as a possible cure.
One can only ponder if the old vaudeville punch line
wouldn’t literally be true: the proposed cure being
worse than the disease. I have watched through late
summer and now into fall for a return of the birds to my
yard. A few have come, but are quickly gone, and no
crow caws for my arising. Over the years hundreds and
hundreds of sparrows have called my backyard home
and my birdfeeder their Sunset Foods. I have housed,
fed, and nurtured a sprawling family of sparrows in my
yard for twenty-five years. This spring there were brood
after brood of new hatchlings in that birdhouse—the
insistent peeping announcing a new brood and the exit
of the fledglings.
Recently, I started to clean out my bird houses as I do
every fall—so that next year’s birds will have a clean
start on their child rearing. The wren house was empty,
the second general purpose house always cherished by
starlings was too. But the home place for my sparrows
brought upset. Amidst all the string, and feathers, and
sticks, and fluff there were the little abandoned
nests—forlorn in their vacancy. The final nest brought
sorrow. In it were three tiny shriveled, mummified,
sparrow nestlings and three unhatched eggs. The birds I
carefully buried in my flower garden along with two
cracked eggs. The third egg, perfect, speckled in mot
tled gray, white and brown. I put it in a finch’s nest I
had brought home from a backpacking trip of forty
years ago. I don’t know why.
This seems like a fall to reflect on unintended conse
quences and the price to be paid for our folly, hubris, or
ignorance. Those little dead birds broke my heart. I had
not had the good sense to realize that West Nile could
strike so quickly as to kill the parents in mid-flight. The
victims of our stupidity are always the tiny, the power
less, the innocent. The solutions I will leave to better
minds. But as Rachel Carson warned—it is always a dis
aster to rush headlong to conclusions, to push for solu
tions that may destroy more than they save, or to trust
loud voices more than good sense. Too many lessons, it
seems, get forgotten.

Youth Services
Department renovation
begins!
There will be much activity in
the Youth Services Department
this summer. The summer read
ing club, Time Trek Readers
and numerous activities (see
page three) will be humming
along during major department
renovation. At least one portion
of the area will be kept open to
patrons at all times and, when
necessary, programs will be held
in the upstairs meeting room.
Donald F. Wrobleski of DF
Wrobleski Architects will
be principal architect for the
renovation. Wrobleski was
architect of the remodeled
Fiction Room, and he will be
extending the 20th century
modernist classic design and
palette of light and materials of
the Fiction Room into the
Youth Services area while
specifics will be different. New
carpet and furniture, more win
dows and angled (faux) sky
light should brighten the room
without structural work. Stack
space for books will increase
by 1/3. “The idea is to make it
more comfortable, efficient and
organized” said Wrobleski. The
project should be completed by
fall.
Page Through the Ages
Adult Summer Reading Club- June 14-July 31
Take a trip back in time with the Adult Summer Reading Club! The Readers’ Services

library has always closed at 5 p.m. on Fridays. The rest of the library’s hours will
remain the same.

At the North Suburban Library

Library Advocate Awards were
presented to Jack Hicks, Bruce

�Across the
Librarian’s Desk
I
n 1968 a friend of mine, Rowland
Higgins, who now teaches mathe
matics at Cambridge, England, wrote
a letter to the London Times suggesting
that all Olympic competitors—from all
nations—march and compete in identical
white uniforms. This view was not dri
ven by post-modern nostalgia but by a
genuine fear that amateur sport was
becoming far too politicized and profes
sional. The letter was printed in the
crank file.
How prescient Rowland was. The
Olympics truly did descend to perilous
political depths as Iron Curtain countries
and western democracies struggled with
each other for political dominance. The
result was every imaginable attempt to
subvert the spirit of the Olympic Creed
and the rules of fair competition as state
run machines immersed themselves in
blood doping, drugs, surgeries, gender
ambivalence, ruthless competition, bro
ken lives- making the Olympics a sham.
The end of the Cold War did not end the
abuses, merely transferred them to the
commercial arena. The day 30 year old,
hardened, professional basketball players
suited up as the “dream team” was a low
spot for amateur athletics. The charm,
naivete, innocence and the purity of ama
teur youth was replaced with professional
greed—and not just on the part of the
athletes. The warning signs were there
but we chose to ignore them in our lust
for gold medals. What a descent from
1936 when Eleanor Holm Janett was dis
missed from the Olympic swimming
team for drinking champagne on the boat
to Europe. Perhaps there is no value in
innocence, amateurism, or honesty any
longer.
Corporate giants around the world turned
the Olympics into a bottom feeder’s food
frenzy. Logos, sponsorship, glamour and
hype attached themselves permanently to
the Olympics at America’s 1984 Los
Angeles gala and provided a fatal poison.

Corporate America and the desire to make a
buck are not a bad thing. We all know the
benefits of a burgeoning economy, but—and
this is a big but—there are places where
greed, money, bribes and corruption do not
belong. They do not belong in any way,
shape, or form with the Olympics. Coiporate
power has no place in amateur competition.
Proof of this point is the irony that the last
great moment in sports for the U.S.A. was
the completely amateur team that won the
Editor: Sally Seifert
The disgrace now brought to the Olympics
by the Salt Lake City bribery scandals
reveals a worldwide free-fall from ethics and
standards. It seems now, in the aftermath,
that everyone involved either takes bribes,
pays bribes, looks the other way, or just
doesn’t care. Bribery and corruption are, of
course, a way of life in all too many coun
tries. The whole point of the Olympics was
designed to prove that honest, fair, competi
tion in sport, could be a starting point for
honest, fair dealings between nations. What
the Olympics has become is a mirror of our
selves, nationalistic, grasping, greedy—a
charade, not a pretty picture. Perhaps the
Olympic motto of Higher, Faster, Farther
should be replaced with “just get it.”
Is it too late to try Rowland’s idea of white
suits?

Would you believe? We send out $100 in postage weekly for overdue notices (it
used to be $15 a week). Damaged library materials number into the thousands per
year. Water damaged books start a major deterioration process. When cassettes are
left in the sun in a hot car, tapes melt. A dog chewed comer shortens the life of a
book as pages break down. Sometimes we get books that have taken a bath along
with their borrowers...not good! Patrons must pay for damages plus a processing fee.

—The other side of Lake Wobegon—
A Death in White Bear Lake is a book
about an “All American City.” This^ is a
hard story to discuss because it deals with
a small boy savagely beaten to death by ftis
mother — a child abuser. But it is an im
portant book on several levels and for ver^
serious reasons.
The homicide took place in 1965 but
because people closed their hearts and
minds to the evil around them, the legal
system sputtered and faltered and the case
was filed away for twenty-two years. In
1987, through an unlikely series of events,
a group of everyday people did some very
extraordinary things to see that this murder
would not go unpunished.
A courageous medical examiner re
opened the files, a determined police force
^J3uilt a strong charge, and a dedicated legal
^A'stem pressed the trial to a just conclu^^ion. These brave and outraged people
remembered an innocent little boy and
demanded justice, unlike so many who did
not speak in 1965, or denied, or lied, or
intimated, or covered up.
The real question raised by this book is:
what would you or I have done? Would we
look away, harden our hearts, refuse to get
involved to protect ourselves? After twentytwo years would we still turn away? Would
we remember? Would we have the courage
to stand against evil? If not, how would we
choose to be remembered? The message is
clear — if this could happen to an “All
American City” it can happen anywhere.
If they could do it, we could do it. Inertia
and failure to act are the real unknowns;
how easy it is to be brave if you are never
put to the test.
The author, Barry Siegel, merits great
praise for outstanding reporting. This
haunting book has an amazing texture,
depth, and feel for time and place. John
Donne wrote that... “no man is an island,”
a phrase that has a special meaning to me
because the crib side doctor who saw a
^Meath by child abuse and turned aside was
community stalwart in White Bear Lake
— my home town — and the attending
physician at my father’s death.

Changes to Serve You Better, Faster • • •
The popular new books are wanted by so
many; this often means long waits for the
best sellers. We are trying to deal with this
problem by shortening loan periods for new
fiction books and by ordering more copies
faster.
Beginning Sept. 4, all new fiction books
will have one week loan periods until they
are six months old. This should provide a
faster turnaround time for the next person.
Books can be renewed by phone or in
person if they are not overdue and there
is no waiting list.
While we cannot quickly satisfy 60 re
quests for Scott Turow’s “Burden of
Proof,” we are anticipating demand for
popular authors by using a new Fast Track
ordering system. It promises speedy
delivery of multiple copies of projected best
sellers. Some of these are Belva Plain’s
“Harvest”, Dick Francis’s “Long Shot”
and Sidney Sheldon’s “Memories of
Midnight”.
All new books will stay on the NEW
BOOK SHELVES for one year — nonfic-
tion by the fireplace, fiction on the new
stacks in the Fiction/Quiet Room.
To keep the collection current, librarians
are busy with a major weeding
(housecleaning) project. Outdated and
damaged books are removed from the col
lection, and some are placed on the
ongoing “for sale” carts.
Large Print Books, Adult Basic Readers,
Short Story Collections, and Circulating
Paperbacks are now next to the new fiction.
For reading suggestions, check our new
guides to good reading. These include lists
of new Deerfield books; “Bestsellers”
which include author close ups, plot sum
maries, what the critics say, and related
must reads; Best books of ’88 & ’89, and
lists of Techno Thrillers, Traditional
Romances, Faraway Places, Pigskin Peo
ple, Spies, etc. On display are also
“Modern Fantasy: 100 Best Novels,” a
book listing the best crime and mystery
books, “Sequels: A Guide to Reading in
Series”, American Best Sellers, and other
books offering reading suggestions.
The five story Illinois State Library
building was dedicated on June 20. It faces
and is designed to be compatible with the
architecture of the 102 year old State
Capitol building. The library houses the
state’s 4.7 million volumes, and state and
federal documents. In the planning stages
for 20 years, the project became a reality
when it received $36 million as part of the
“Building Illinois” program. The library’s
resources may be borrowed by using a
library card issued by any Illinois public
library.

Springfield, Deerfield Librarians Baiba

candidate, Jim Edgar, with Elliott Kanner, far right

Please let us know • • •
We are trying to determine the need for
library outreach service in Deerfield. If
there are people who would like to have
library service but are unable or have dif
ficulty getting to the library we would like
to know. Difficulty reading? Ask about our
specialized talking books from the National

Tuesday, Sept. 11, 7:30 p.m.
Reviewers heralded her “quietly shock
ing” short stories from “You’re Standing
in My Light” as ‘’remarkable because they
are tart, taut, touching, economical, ellip
tical, sharp, sensuous and sexy”. Devine
lays claim to a territory of human ex
perience few writers have explored with
such honesty, perceptiveness and vigor;
that of the aging older woman, adamant
that her life make sense, determined that
certain human values be expressed.

from this condition.

BROWSING
at the DEERFIELD
PUBLIC LIBRARY
920 Waukegan Rd.
Deerfield. IL 60015
Winter 1989
Vol. 4. No. 1
Welcome!
New Head Of Reference
I would like to take this opportunity, my
first column as library director, to give a
heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of people
who took time to speak, call, or write to
congratulate me on my promotion. After
so many years of public service in what I
thought was anonymity, your response has
been overwhelming to me. It is so seldom
that librarians get the praise and recogni
tion you have extended. This promotion is
now more than just a promotion, rather
something very personal and rewarding to
me.
Thank you all, so very much, for your
kindness.
My goals for the next three years are re
latively simple ones: Collection develop
ment to more closely match your needs
|nd desires, staff training to insure a conrinued high level of service, and a program
of public relations to make sure all of you
are aware of all of our materials, prog
rams, and service.
We have engaged a nationally known
library planner to help us regain some of
the charm our library has lost with the ad
dition of all the new technology, mate
rials, and books. We are as concerned as
you are about our library’s future.
( /
Jack Alan Hicks
Administrative Librarian
Tax Time
The Deerfield Library will be a
site for Volunteer Income Tax As
sistance this winter. There is no
charge for the service co-sponsored
by the IRS and the American As
sociation of Retired Persons. No ap
pointment is necessary for the ser
vice available in the upstairs meet
ing room, Tuesdays and Fridays
from l-4p.m. February 3 - April 14.
Please bring last year’s return.
Income tax forms are available at
the reference desk, but librarians are
not qualified to offer lax assistance.
Peggy McCabe at the Bibliofile Catalog
Bibliofile Catalog Has
Personal Touch
Deerfield now has additional computer
catalogs, the ‘‘Friendly Biblioftles
which personify technology; they are be
coming popular with users.
The library’s old card catalogs went on
line, on computer, two years ago. The old
card catalog files were gradually phased
out and removed from public service areas
in December, 1988. Deerfield Library
shares the online system, the Joint Compu
ter Program for Libraries (JCPL) with
Skokie, Morton Grove and Waukegan.
JCPL, headquartered at the Skokie Lib
rary, runs a GEAC Computer Corp. 8000
system.
Presently the three Bibliofile CD-ROM
catalog workstations are located in Refer
ence and Young People’s Departments.
Bibliofile contains the same author, title,
and subject information found in the lib
rary’s JCPL GEAC online catalog. Dub
bed “The Intelligent Catalog” it is faster,
smarter, easier to understand, prints off
line at no charge and can talk and offer
friendly instruction! Best of all, the Bibliofile, a “home grown product” is free
standing (no telephone lines) and if the lib
rary’s other computers linked to the JCPL
Skokie office are down, the Bibliofile still
works as a back-up!
Bibliofile operates on a CD-ROM drive
controlled by a hard disk which gives it a
higher level of access programming. It
does not have the Circulation capacity that
the other computers have; it gives a book’s
location, but not whether it is in the library
or on loan. It is programmed and derived
from our regular catalog database, how
ever.
The Bibliofile stand alone system does
clarify searching on online catalogs. Try
it, you'll like it!
Judith Hortin has been appointed Head
of Reference at Deerfield Public Library.
This position was formerly held by Jack
Hicks who is now library director.
With five years experience as head of
reference in public libraries in Manhattan,
Kansas and Joliet, Illinois, Judy returns to
her native Chicago. She has also worked in
special libraries in Manhattan and Chicago
and was in System Reference at Bur Oak
Library System. Before becoming a libra
rian, she was a teacher for the Chicago
Public Schools.
Now a Mt. Prospect resident, Judy said,
“I have always cared about public lib
raries and providing information. It’s hard
to fill Jack’s shoes as I have always re
spected his work. I am looking forward to
meeting and working with the Deerfield
community.”
Judy holds a BA in English from the
University of Wisconsin and a Masters in
Library Science from Rosary College. She
enjoys reading and, regarding other per
sonal information, tells us she is a direct
descendent of Benedict Arnold!

Local Author
Credits Librarians
The Deerfield Library recently received
the book, “The Reverse Effect: How Vita
mins and Minerals Promote Health and
Cause Disease’’, a 1,200 page volume
written by Walter Heiby, who is probably
Deerfield’s most active library user.
In his book, Heiby credits the Deerfield
reference librarians with finding many of
the world-record number of references
(4821) that support the facts and theories
of his highly praised and controversial
book.
Heiby, who has published poems and a
philosophy book, considers himself a
generalist whose intellectual curiosity was
whetted by his parents. Currently, he conducts literature research seminars in nutri-^^
tion, medicine and dentistry at the Univer-^^
sity of Illinois under the auspices of the
Glencoe based Nutrition for Optimal

give an exact source right down to act,
scene, and line whenever possible.
Students, writers, speakers - at some
point almost everyone has to track down
an elusive quotation, and Bartlett’s is a
good starting point for such a search. Even
if you recall only a few words of a famous
line, its handy keyword index lets you
identify a source and verify the exact
wording. The main part of the book is ar
ranged by author or source quoted.

Keep VCR Clean
The Deefield Library now owns approx
imately 1500 video tapes for home view
ing (at $1 each for three days). To assure
their best use, it is important to remember
to keep the VCR equipment free from dirt
and other materials which “eat” the tape
or rpnder the picture snowy, the music
muddy. The library’s Technical Services^^
department suggests preventative mea-^B
sures, such as frequent cleaning of video^^
heads (at the heart of the machine) to re
move harmful dirt from oxide particle
buildup. This will keep the library’s tapes
in good order for your viewing enjoyment.

Hicks Stresses
Community Service
Jack Hicks, formerly Head of the
Reference Department, Deerfield Public
Library, was appointed administrative
librarian effective August 1.
He succeeds Suzanne Whetstone who
served as administrative librarian for the
past twenty years. Mrs. Whetstone has
moved to South Bend, Indiana.
Hicks, who is well known and respected
in the Deerfield community, has a strong
commitment to public service and plans to
maintain the library’s fine tradition in the
community. He hopes to improve the
quality of service by adding more
materials, providing access to those
materials, and making best use of
technological advancements available to
libraries. He also wants to emphasize staff
training and “the human touch’’ in delivery
of service and materials.
Always enjoying his contact with the
public at the Reference Desk, Hicks has
pioneered in offering patrons and teaching
(other North Suburban Librarians) online
information retrieval service. Deerfield
was among the first libraries in the nation
to offer searches to patrons at no charge. He
says that the key to online searching is
using it as a standard service, as any other
reference tool.
Jack Hicks
Jack Hicks has lived in Deerfield for 16
years and has been Head of Reference since
1976. He is active in the American Library
Association, Illinois Library Association,
and Midwest Federated Library Associa
tion. He made presentations to the latter two
this spring, about Deerfield Library’s
bibliographic instruction to Wilmot Junior
High students. A paper on this topic has
been prepared by Hicks and teacher
Geraldine Spinella for the November issue
of “Illinois Libraries.’’
Hicks received his B.A. degree from
Hamline University, St. Paul, Minn, and
his Masters degree in Library Science from
Rosary College. He has also served as
Church Librarian at Deerfield’s St.
Gregory’s Church. His wife Donna is Head
of Reader Services at Northbrook Public
Library and they have two daughters,
Maren and Sarah.

* % Virgins, Whores and Other Women: Im
ages of Women in Mystery
Paretsky has created a new genre of
female detective stories about a hard
boiled private eye, V.l. Warshawski.
Warshawski comes straight out of the
Dashell Hammett-Raymond Chandler
tradition; a loner with a soft spot for the
underdog, a fierce belief injustice if not the
law, enough stubborn courage to ignore
threats from the mob, and an uneasy
relationship with the local constabulary
according to reviewer Joanna Krotz. This
fictional detective lives in Chicago near
Halsted.
In the past 16 years, Paretsky has had five
books and five short stories published. She
has also won several awards. The books in
clude Bitter Medicine, Killing Orders,
Deadlock and Indemnity Only. Her newest
mystei7, Blood Shot, due out this fall is
a main selection of the Mystery Guild
and alternate selection of three other
book clubs. It has already received high
acclaim.
This popular author of suspense holds a
BA from the University of Kansas and a
PhD in history from the University of
Chicago. Blood Shot will be reviewed at a
library program by Virginia Carter at 11
a.m. Oct. 19. Reservations will be required
for the afternoon Paretsky event.

OF THE HOLIDAYS
One of our new holi
day books is Christmas
Around the World and
it has information on the
_
music and carols of Christmas,
customs around the world,
crafts and cooking from many
countries, plus stories for the
whole family. The Sugar-Plum
Christmas Book by Jean Chap
man combines stories and crafts
for delightful reading. The
Christmas Spider by Loretta
Holz has directions for beautiful
I
crafts from Poland. To celebrate
Hanukkah we recommend The
Hanukkah Book by Mae Rock
land. It includes the origins of
this holiday along with chil
dren's crafts and games. Another
helpful book is Festivals for You
to Celebrate by Susan Purdy. A
Picture Book of Hanukkah by
David Adler is a good book to
read to preschoolers. Most of
these books can be found in the

others, and sent to the President,

OUTPUT

In the February/April issue of
our newsletter, we reminded and
thanked our patrons for helping
us in our Output Measures Sur
vey in which we computed for
n n
Fill rate" for refer"fill rates,
ence is defined in terms of the
number of reference transactions
completed in proportion to the
total number of reference trans
actions. For author/subject,
title, and browsing, it is defined
in terms of the number of items
found in proportion to the num
ber of items sought.
The results of our survey and
those completed by 37 other
North Suburban Library System
public libraries were compiled
and here is how we fared:
Reference: Number 1
96.00% (Ave.-75.41%)
Title: Number 1
81.60% (Ave.-66.52%)
Author/Subject: Top 18%
82.50%
Browsing: 3.05% above average
95.20%
Again, we thank all of those
patrons who took the time to
help us with the survey.
PHONOLOG/
LIST-O-TAPES
Have you ever needed to find
the performer of a particular
song or the name of the album
or tape in which the song
appears? Deerfield Public
Library has useful sources to
help you find music-related in
formation. Phonolog is a looseleaf, subscription service which
gives information on songs (com
poser/artist/label/album number
/album the song appears on),
artists (albums/singles), and
albums (artist/label/album number/songs). List-O-Tapes has the
same information for tapes
(cassette/8-track/reel-to-reel).
The main body of these
works consists of pop titles, pop
artists, and pop albums or tapes.
"Pop" includes rock, country, R
& B, soul, and jazz. There are sep
arate sections for band, Christ
mas, children's, sacred, Hawaii
an, classical, and other categories
of music. There is also an alpha
betically arranged list of record/
tape companies in the front of
the work.
Phonolog and List-O-Tapes
are located on top of our vertical
file.
TAX ASSISTANCE
Free tax assistance will again
be offered by trained graduates
of A. A. R.P.'s VITA program.
