The Peacock Room, an elaborately painted former dining room and one of the most famous masterpieces in the Freer’s collection, will celebrate its 90th an- niversary of being on public view in 2013. Users can explore two 360-degree virtual versions of the room: one as it looked in Victorian London, filled with Chinese blue- and-white porcelain, the other as it appeared in 1908 after museum founder Charles Lang Freer reassembled it in his Detroit mansion and filled its shelves with subtly glazed ce- ramics from all over Asia. By clicking on each object in the room, visitors can zoom in on high-res images. Interactive maps and timelines, supple- mented by letters, diary entries, and vintage photographs from the Charles Lang Freer Papers, provide insight into Freer’s life story and his approach to collecting. The Story of the Beautiful: Freer, Whistler, and Their Points of Contact is available at www.peacockroom.wayne.edu.

The recycling program is the latest in a num- ber of changes in services, space, and planning that the IUPUI Library has instituted as green efforts in recent years. The Learning Spaces III collaborative study environment, which opened in 2012, was created using a range of renew- able materials, such as cork and carpet made of recycled fibers.

University of Idaho Library digitizes 2011-12 Turning of the Wheel Humanities Colloquium Series The University of Idaho Library has released a new digital collection, Turning of the Wheel: The Interplay of the Unique and Uni- versal. The Turning of the Wheel collection is a compilation of videos, photographs, and transcripts documenting more than 30 events that took place as part of the Turning of the Wheel Humanities Colloquium Series during the 2011–12 academic year. The series was directed by Rodney Frey, director of general education and professor of ethnography in the university’s Department of Sociology and Anthropology. For each event, a University of Idaho ACRL announces the publication of Com- mon Ground at the Nexus of Informa- tion Literacy and Scholarly Communication. Edited by Stephanie Davis-Kahl and Merinda Kaye Hensley, this volume forges a new path that crosses boundaries between two vital areas of librarianship. Davis-Kahl and Hensley explore how librarians at a variety of institutions can engage students and faculty in discussing topics such as open access,copyright, fair use, publishing models, the social and economic aspects of scholarship, and publishing through the lens of information literacy. Readers will come away with new ideas for forging part- nerships with others in their organizations in order to enrich both information literacy and scholarly communication programs, activities, and services. The 17 chapters in Common Ground at the Nexus of Information Literacy and Schol- arly Communication represent the diversity and creativity in librarianship and aims to spark conversations about how to approach these topics using the case studies and interviews about programming, advocacy, outreach, and instruction. This volume is essential reading for librarians working in either in- formation literacy or scholarly communication programs, along with library school students. Common Ground at the Nexus of Information Literacy and Scholarly Communication is available for purchase in print, as an e-book, and as a print/ e-book bundle through the ALA Online Store; in print and for Kindle through Amazon.com; and by telephone order at (866) 746-7252 in the United States or (770) 442-8633 for inter- national customers. community member offered his or her own response to the thematic question: “What is significance for you of the interplay between the particular/diverse/ unique and the shared/ universal/ubiquitous?” The collection features lectures, as well as plays, musical perfor- mances, panel discussions, and essay readings.

Mind42 makes it easy to lay out a topic, idea, or process, in classic nodes-and- branches format. Nodes can be different colors and text sizes, and they can store links, images, and to-do lists. To create your own mind maps, you just need to create a free account. Once you publish your mind maps, anyone can view them without an account, so it’s easy to demonstrate breaking down a research topic for students dur- ing instruction, or add visuals to a presentation. Mind42 also allows collaboration, so you can invite others to edit your map. This feature could support synchronous brainstorming for an online class or project groups.

NISO launches initiative to develop standard for open access metadata and indicators The National Information Stan- dards Organization (NISO) vot- ing members have approved a new project to develop standardized bib- liographic metadata and visual indicators to describe the accessibility of journal articles as well as potentially describe how “open” the item is. Many offerings are available from publishers under the banner of open access (OA), increased access, public access, or other descriptions; the terms offered vary be- tween publishers and, in some cases, based on the funding organization of the author. The project will focus initially on metadata elements that describe the readership rights associated with an OA article. Specifically, the NISO Working Group will determine the optimal mechanisms to describe and transmit the right, if any, an arbitrary user has to access a specific article from any Internet connection point. Recommendations will include a means for distribution and aggregation of this meta- data in machine-readable form. The group will also consider the feasibility of incorporating information on re-use rights and the feasibil-
