Movers and shakers at the Libraries in September 2001. See any names you recognize?
A lot of things can change in 17 years… but then again, some things never do. What was happening at the dawn of another fall semester for the Libraries in 2001?
A Fall Greeting… and a New Colleague
The Summer was not as quiet as usual – we implemented a new look for the Libraries’ home page; authority control was introduced into IRIS; circulation notices will now be sent via e-mail; and Media Services transferred responsibility for smart classrooms and equipment delivery in New Brunswick to the Teaching Excellence Center, and introduced web forms for requests across all campuses.
…
We completed a successful recruitment for an AUL for Digital Library Systems and hired Grace Agnew, who will be joining us in January. This is an important position as we examine more closely how the Libraries technical infrastructure is organized and deployed to support the Digital Library Initiative…. We look forward to Grace’s leadership, and her participation in these discussions as we continue to move “aggressively, but intelligently towards the creation of a new library system.”
Got Training?
With the arrival of a system-wide Training and Learning Coordinator, Marilyn Wilt, the Libraries need to plan and coordinate on an ongoing basis an effective library human resource development program. With this goal in mind, Associate University Librarian for Administrative Services Samson Soong convened a new Training and Learning Advisory Committee…. Members thus far include Ann Montanaro, Ned Richards, Gracemary Smulewitz, and Julie Still.
