Central University Libraries New, Events and Exhibits

Kudos to Janet Allmon!

So often we go to Janet to fix little problems in the catalog, and those turn out to be huge cans of worms!  She always sticks with it and cleans up those bibliographic messes.  Special thanks to her for her work on the series Materials for the Study of the Old English Drama.  When she started there was an old series and a new series, some classed together, some classed separately, some in Dewey, some in LC.  Now they’re all tidy!

Kudos to Michelle Hahn from Ellen Seldin, a master’s student in the music history program. Ellen sent the following to Michelle, “I made an ‘A’ on my final paper as well as an ‘A’ in the course. That would not have happened without your help. Several of the articles you helped me find were key in my advancing my argument.”

Below is the Acknowledgements page from Ellen’s paper:

This work would not have been possible without the unfailing help of the music librarians at Southern Methodist University:  Michelle Hahn at the Hamon and Fondren Libraries deserves special mention.

Kudos to Cindy Boeke for securing a $10,000 grant from the Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA) Opportunities Fund for the Norwick Center for Digital Services (nCDS) to digitize materials from the DeGolyer Library’s Edward C. Fritz Papers to be included in the Western Waters Digital Library.

Kudos to Cindy Boeke and Sandra Zucker for their hard work on the Historic Dallas Aerial Photographs. Dean McCombs recently used her iPad in a meeting to point the group to the collection during a discussion on a potential center in urban studies.

Kudos to Julia Stewart for her support of SMU’s Veteran’s Luncheon to honor our U.S. Miliatary Veterans. Way to go, Julia!
