Copies of some are already in the University of Illinois Library. However, more than half involve communications related to agriculture and we had not been aware of them. So we are reviewing the books we don\u2019t have and preparing citations for the ACDC database and search system. As a result, online visitors will soon be able to identify and gain access to detailed agricultural communications information otherwise difficult to find.<\/p>\n<p>Books in the new Chris Scherer Collection feature excellent information for professional journalists and communicators as well as researchers, students and others. Subjects range across writing, layout and design, trends in advertising and public relations, and the history of women in journalism.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Check with ACDC Associate <a href=\"mailto:evansj@illinois.edu\">Jim Evans<\/a> if you would like to learn more about this collection \u2013 or if you have agricultural journalism and communications materials for which you might like to find a home.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Record-high worry about hunger<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>\u201cOne year after the coronavirus pandemic upended Americans\u2019 lives and caused an economic crisis, worry about hunger and homelessness in the country eclipsed concerns about 13 other national issues for the first time.
