These endowments will further aca-demic excellence at the OSU Library. Dean of Libraries Sheila Grant- Johnson (A) now holds the newly cre-ated Clerico Family Chair for Library Excellence. In 2008, John Clerico do-nated a million dollars to create the position. Linda and Calvin Anthony added to the gift, and the total was matched by Boone Pickens. These funds will be matched by the state as well. Clerico’s desire was to create one of the top endowments in the nation for a library dean. Anne Prestamo (B), associate dean of libraries, now holds the Claud D. Kniffin Professor of Library Service and Education. The Kniffin posi-tion was established in 2008 with a gift from David Kniffin to honor his late father, a long-time member of the Friends of the OSU Library Board. David’s gift was matched by Boone Pickens and will eventually be matched by the state. The Kniffin position is designed to encourage excellence in teaching and scholarship in the Edmon Low Library. Mary Larson (C), professor and head of the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program, was appointed to the Doris Neustadt Professor of Li-brary Service, formerly held by Dean Johnson. The Neustadt position was established in 1991 with a goal to enhance library collections and ser-vices. Other Library Professorships Puterbaugh Professorship for Li-brary Service, established in 1991 to enhance a faculty position, is cur-rently held by Jennifer Paustenbaugh (D), associate dean of libraries. W.P. Wood Professorship for Li-brary Service, established in 1992, is held by Vicki Phillips (E), head of the science and engineering division. A B C D E First Cowgirl and Friends of the OSU Library Board member, Ann Hargis, is just one of many supporters ensuring the success of the OSU Libraries. At the OSU Library, we believe success starts here. Every day, we deliver the tools, information and ser-vices to ensure academic and research success for our students and faculty. We exist as a resource to expand the learning potential of students and citizens of our state and to enhance the teaching and research capabilities of our faculty. In this year’s annual report, we show some of our success stories. I hope you enjoy reading about the ac-complishments of our organization and its staff, faculty and student em-ployees. I’m sure you’ve heard about Brand-ing Success: The Campaign for Okla-homa State University. This exciting billion-dollar campaign is transform-ing OSU, and the Libraries will ben-efit from this fundraising initiative. In fiscal year 2010, I was honored to assume the newly established Clerico Family Chair for Library Excellence. This endowment, which was matched by Boone Pickens, is one of the na-tion’s largest endowed library dean chairs. We also secured new scholar-ships to support and reward our out-standing student employees (related story on pages 18-19). In addition, private donations funded major reno-vations to the Edmon Low Library, improving areas serving students (re-lated stories on pages 16-17). With declining state funding, the support of our Friends is needed more than ever. On behalf of all the stu-dents who rely on the OSU Libraries, I thank you for ensuring another suc-cessful year. Sheila Grant Johnson, Dean of Libraries & Clerico Family Chair for Library Excellence Letter from the Dean 6 7 Success in Leadership Each year, thousands of new librarians apply for the American Li-brary Association’s Emerging Leaders program; only 100 are selected. This year, the OSU Library’s Hui-Fen Chang was chosen for the class of 2010 and was also selected for sponsorship by the Association of College and Research Libraries. This year, Dr. Mary Larson took leadership of the Oklahoma Oral His-tory Research Program where she will work collaboratively with other faculty in the Center for Oklahoma Studies. Much of Larson’s past work in oral history has centered on evolving technologies, including best prac-tices, ethical concerns and utilization of new media for accessibility. She has quickly become involved with the Oklahoma historical research com-munity through publications, presentation and a gubernatorial appoint-ment to the Oklahoma Historic Records Advisory Board. Assessment Librarian, Karen Neurohr, has served on the Friends of Libraries in Oklahoma Board since 2006. FOLIO is a volunteer organiza-tion that promotes and supports our state’s libraries. This year, in recog-nition of her outstanding work with the Oklahoma Literary Landmark program and the FOLIO scholarship program, Karen was named to the FOLIO Hall of Fame. Associate Dean Anne Prestamo was recently elected chair of the On-line Computer Library Center (OCLC) Americas Regional Council (ARC). Council members act as representatives, giving members a voice on ser-vices and policies. Prestamo will serve as the inaugural chair of the com-mittee, which was recently established under new governance guidelines. In addition to her year term as chair, she will also serve as ARC delegate to the OCLC Global Council for three years. VT: Jennifer, you are involved in so many important endeavors. What project from the last year are you most proud of ? JP: Seeing the documentary Indi-ans, Outlaws and Angie Debo digitally remastered so that it can be distrib-uted free to all Oklahoma public, academic, school and tribal libraries beginning in January 2011. This is a project that has taken years to bring to fruition, and I’m thrilled that a new generation of Oklahomans will have a chance to become acquainted with, arguably, Oklahoma’s most im-portant citizen. VT: What do you think is the most exciting project on the horizon for the OSU Library? JP: The Library has formed part-nerships with so many interesting and important organizations. These part-nerships result in exciting programs, significant new digital resources, and gifts of unique materials. For instance, we’re working on a project assisted by a family foundation and the Roch-ester (NY) Public Library to make available online 25 years of the public opinion-shaping editorials of jour-nalist Paul Miller, who was CEO of Gannett Corporation, first president of the Associated Press and an alum-nus of Oklahoma A&M College. The rapidly changing digital landscape creates exciting new opportunities to extend even more of our resources to the state and to the world. VT: Why do you think it’s impor-tant to seek these leadership op-portunities? JP: Leadership opportunities are primarily the chance to create change through collaboration. In addition to the satisfaction of seeing things ac-complished that you alone could not make happen, leadership opportuni-ties help you build a strong network of colleagues who can be invaluable resources for future projects or sound-ing boards for current activities. VT: What advice would you give to young women who are interested in leadership? JP: In any organization there are people who do the work and people who watch others do the work. Find a group whose mission and goals fit with yours and get involved. Be a worker. People who step up and con-tribute in a positive way get noticed and have opportunities for more significant roles. by Valerie Trammell Dr. Jennifer Paustenbaugh is the very picture of an accomplished woman. In addition to serving as As-sociate Dean of Libraries for Planning & Assess-ment and Puterbaugh Professor of Library Service at the OSU Library, Paustenbaugh serves in numerous outside leadership positions. She served as chair of the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women in 2006-2007 and currently serves as Director of the Women’s Archives at Oklahoma State University. I spoke with Jennifer to discuss her long history of ser-vice, leadership and commitment to women. Snapshot of Success A leadership portrait of Dr. Jennifer Paustenbaugh 8 9 Success through Technology Oral History Goes High Tech The Centennial Histories Series is a 25-volume set that documents the first 100 years of OSU history. This comprehensive series includes books dedi-cated to each college and a variety of other programs and units, including the library, research, athletics and the alumni assocaition. The OSU Li-brary has now digitized and made publicly available the entire set. You can search and view the entire collection at http://centennial.okstate.edu/. Dr. Anne Prestamo, Associate Dean of Collection and Technology Servic-es, was invited to represent OSU as a founding member of the17-mem-ber Summon Advisory Board. Summon is a discovery service that allows researchers to quickly search a variety of library sources using a single search box. OSU has played a pivotal role in the development of this in-novative technology. The OSU Library is reaching students where they spend their time: on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The Library’s Twitter account reaches nearly 900 people with each update and allows staff to easily re-spond to student concerns. Our Facebook account has become a discussion area for students, staff and faculty alike. Official Library Twitter accounts: Library News: @okstatelibrary Oklahoma Oral History Research Program: @OOHRP Official Library Facebook accounts: Edmon Low Library Oklahoma Oral History Research Program Veterinary Medicine Library @ Oklahoma State University by Marissa Chavez The Oklahoma Oral History Re-search Program joins historical ac-counts with modern technology, mak-ing content accessible through iTunes and social media sites. Hearing Reverend Ben Noble re-flect on Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral isn’t what an iTunes listener would expect, but OOHRP has trans-formed the way history is being told today. “Everything we do here is in an effort to make things more easily ac-cessible,” said Mary Larson, professor and head of OOHRP. This library department allows ev-eryone access to its research. Extend-ing outreach online helps the public conduct research without stepping foot on campus. Also, while some oral history departments are just start-ing to video record their interviews, OOHRP is ahead of this curve. Most of its interviews are recorded on both audio and video and are available on-line through the Library’s website and iTunesU. iTunesU offers an innovative meth-od to get educational content into the hands of students, and OOHRP is taking advantage. Then & Now is a weekly radio series featuring the voices of OOHRP, airing Wednes-days at 9:17 a.m. and 4:44 p.m. on the STATE’s Public Radio, KOSU. If lis-teners miss an episode they can down-load it from OSU’s iTunesU channel. OOHRP has contributed about 25 percent of the total material for OSU on iTunesU thus far. OOHRP has recently joined the social media world and is interacting with students and faculty through the use of Facebook and Twitter. With more than 175 Facebook fans and about 60 Twitter followers, OOHRP is sharing more with new audiences than ever before. “Everybody has a story,” Larson said, “and the oral history depart-ment is trying more than ever before to make sure those stories are heard.” 10 11 Successful Partnerships Disciplines Unite for Center Symposium By Bonnie Ann Cain-Wood The legend of Geronimo endures more than a century after his death. To honor this prominent American Indian leader and to help separate legend from life, the Center for Okla-homa Studies (COS) hosted its first symposium on February 16. The COS was created to inspire in-terdisciplinary work and encourage an exchange of ideas. It brings to-gether a diverse group of individuals who contribute to the ever-expanding pool of knowledge about our state. The Center’s Symposium is an ideal vehicle to accomplish this mission. The inau-gural Center for Oklahoma Studies Sympo-sium, “Geroni-mo: Warrior for an American Dream,” featured four guest speakers who presented differ-ent perspectives on the life and times of the Apache leader. Historians, film scholars, authors and poets discussed how the Apache leader’s depiction in popular culture compared to his actu-al life events. The symposium closed with a screening of Geronimo: An American Legend. The OSU Center for Oklahoma Studies is a partnership of English, history and the OSU Library’s Oklahoma Oral History Re-search Program. The spring 2010 symposium was cosponsored by the Center for Oklahoma Studies, the OSU Library, the OSU History Club and Phi Alpha Theta. The Library provides space to the Writing Center Outpost, an ex-tremely successful collaboration with the English Department. Working from a group study room, tutors give one-on-one instruction in writing methods and formatting in study rooms at the Library, allowing students a one-stop shop for their educational needs. The Library Outpost has dra-matically increased the number of students utilizing this valuable service because of its location--where the students are. On-demand printing is one of the Library’s most appreciated student services. This year, the Library teamed with students from industrial engineering to gauge perceptions of Library printing and proposed im-provements. Information gathered by the student investigators spurred the upcoming installation of a dozen “quick print stations.” To Kill a Mockingbird is a landmark of American literature and a recent collaboration between the OSU and Stillwater libraries allowed readers to rediscover the classic tome. One Book, One Community: Still-water Reads To Kill a Mockingbird involved nearly a thousand people in numerous book discussions, film screenings and scholarly panels. The Peggy V. Helmerich Browsing Room was transformed into a cabaret nightclub for the 2010 Noteworthy Evening, a collaboration be-tween the Library and the OSU Music Department. The event, a fund-raiser which benefits the Friends’ Music Collection Endowment support-ing the study of music, featured music students presenting a variety of vocal pieces. The COS was created to inspire interdisciplinary work and encourage an exchange of ideas. 12 13 By Marissa Chavez Patient, helpful, irreplaceable and dedicated are just a few words that many use to describe Kim Seagraves. These attributes and more granted her the honor of receiving the 2009 Edna Mae Phelps Award. “Kim has earned the gratitude, re-spect and af-fection of nearly all of those with whom she has worked, and is a most worthy re-cipient of this award,” said Dr. Anne Prestamo, Associate Dean for Collec-tion and Technology Services. Seagraves earned her B.A. in man-agement information systems and a Standing Ovation for Seagraves master’s degree in telecommunica-tions management from Oklahoma State University. She began working for the Library in 1988 as a Library Assistant in Access Services, but cur-rently serves as the Assistant Depart-ment Head for the Li-brary’s Sys-tems De-partment. “In look-ing back over the 21 years of service to the OSU Li-brary, she is definitely a person who has, and still is, making a positive difference for nearly everyone who walks through the doors of the OSU Library,” said Rod McAbee Director of Library Systems. Seagraves maintains the Library’s online catalog system, Voyager, which serves not only OSU, but also 12 other libraries across Oklahoma. She has spent countless hours on the system to assure Library users have uninterrupt-ed access to the Library’s databases. Seagraves was recognized with the Outstanding Employee Award in 1993 and the Mary Greenberg/Mar-guerite Howland Personnel Develop-ment Award in 1997. The Phelps award has been pre-sented annually since 1994 to recog-nize individuals who have substan-tially and unselfishly gone above and beyond duty, to increase the ef-fectiveness of the OSU Library. It is the highest honor presented by the Friends of the OSU Library. She is definitely a person who has, and still is, making a positive difference for nearly everyone who walks through the doors. Recognized for Success The Class of 1942 Willham Scholarship, established in 1992, assists out-standing student employees of the OSU Library and encourages further excellence. The 2010 winners are Lydia Meador (A), Tyler Merriman, Monica Kim and Anna Davis. Merriman and Meador (A) were also named student representatives on the 2010 Friends of the OSU Library Board of Directors. Library student assistants, Lydia Meador (A), Erin Roberts and John Mis-kelly, were named 2009-10 Niblack Research Scholars. Meador (A) was also named a Goldwater Scholar. She is the 18th student from OSU to be se-lected for this prestigious honor. Jamie Lassiter, a nutritional science senior; Tiffany Farney, an advertising senior; Samantha Fugate, an entrepreneurial senior; and Sarah Cain, a ge-ography senior, received the 2010 James B. and Verena J. Wise Outstanding Student Assistant Award. The award encourages outstanding performance and provides assistance to students supporting themselves through school. It is the highest award presented exclusively to OSU Library student em-ployees. (B) Sandi Schultz (C) received the Outstanding Library Staff Award for 2010. Schultz, a long-time supervisor in Access Services, was nominated by Jackie German and Richard Paustenbaugh. She received a $1,500 award. Gala Lackey received Honorable Mention, a $300 award. Lackey was nom-inated by Barbara Bradley. Government Document department head John Phillips (D) was the 2010 winner of the Library Faculty Award for Notable Achievement, a $1,500 award. Roy Degler, Digital Library Services librarian, received Honorable Mention and a $300 award. Thanks to ongoing generous support of the Greenberg/Howland Endow-ment, a record number of Personnel Development Awards were presented. Scholarships were offered to Jon Hall of Access Services, Matthew Ben-bennick of Government Documents, Shirley Tatum of Access Services, Melissa Beezley Fitzgerald of Cataloging, Hannah Fortney of Cataloging, and Valerie Trammell of the Dean’s Office. (E) A B C D E 14 15 Success Stories Science Takes Center Stage at Cobb Series by Marissa Chavez Neil deGrasse Tyson was the shin-ing star at the 2009 H. Louise and H.E. “Ed” Cobb Speaker Series on November 6. Tyson is a world famous astrophysicist, author of nine books and host of NOVA scienceNow, but he is most-famously known as the spokesperson on the demotion of the planet Pluto. Tyson’s charisma, humor and friendliness wowed the crowd from beginning to end. More than 230 people were in attendance including a record-setting number of stu-dents. Tyson focused on science literacy in the United States. He spoke about the cultural impact of being knowl-edgeable about science. He compared the U.S. with other countries, arguing that we are falling behind in subjects like science and math. He encouraged the audience to have a curious mind and talked about how to inform others about sci-ence. Tyson, who is lauded as one of the “50 Best Brains in Science,” enlightened and entertained. His quirky facts about the universe and engaging style had guests cheering throughout the talk. Tyson’s charisma, humor and friendliness wowed the crowd. The Peggy V. Helmerich Browsing Room comes alive with music dur-ing the Noon Concert Series, free and informal performances by OSU Music Department students. The concert series began in 2004 and has become popular with students, staff and faculty alike. Dallas County Criminal District Attorney Craig Watkins spoke about his “smart-on-crime” approach to criminal justice as the featured guest at OSU’s Constitution Day celebration hosted by the Library on Septem-ber 17, 2009. Constitution Day is a federal observance that honors the signing of the United States Constitution. 2009 Oklahoma Poet Laureate Jim Barnes shared his poetry with guests as the speaker at Oklahoma Ovation, which celebrates our admit-tance as the 47th state. Many of Barnes’ books have been honored, most notably The Sawdust War, which received the Oklahoma Book Award in Poetry. The relationship between the Plains Apache and plants was the sub-ject of botanist Julia Jordan’s presentation at the March 26 botanical lecture. Jordan conducted extensive fieldwork with elders of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma in order to explore the tribe’s traditional knowledge of plants. 16 17 Building for Success By Valerie Trammell It is often said that form follows function, but the two have been joined in the newly renovated Circulation and Information center at the OSU Library. The project, generously funded by a private dona-tion from Steve and Susan Raybourn of Oklahoma City, joined the two ser-vice areas into one large, accessible central area. Black granite covers warm wood counters in an elegant up-date to this hub of Library service. In addition to being more aestheti-cally pleasing, the new area will function more ef-ficiently as well. With the addi-tion of a third counter designated solely for laptop checkout, the new service center will give students easy access to the re-sources they use most often: comput-ers, study rooms and help from librar-ians. “With the new layout, you can see both desks as soon as you walk in, and you can see someone is always there to help,” said Sheila Grant Johnson, Dean of Libraries. “Our focus has always been on giv-ing the best possible service to the public. These updates will help us ac-complish that goal with style.” The popular Reading Room (A) has received a much needed update, cour-tesy of a private gift from an anonymous donor. The room received up-grades to its lighting and electrical systems, as well as an elegant refur-bishing of its décor. New tables with study lamps and casual seating areas complete the renovation. The John Rex Cunningham Architecture Library (B) has reopened in the newly constructed west wing of the Donald W. Reynolds Architecture Building. The new area features large glass windows and exposed metal elements, allowing students to study in inspiring architectural surround-ings. The Oklahoma Oral History Research Program (C) has a new home, a re-cently constructed office on the second floor of the Edmon Low Library. The offices allow faculty and staff to work with interviewees in a comfort-able and elegant setting. The new facility also provides a beautiful mir-ror to the Special Collections and University Archives office, which sits directly opposite it on the second floor. The Edmon Low Library now boasts an additional 50 public computer workstations in the popular first floor computer cluster. The new machines were added to handle additional demands due to the closing of the student Our focus has always computer lab in the Student Union. been on giving the best possible service to the public. Service Center Opens for Business C B A 18 19 Wise Adds Graduate Fellowship When T. Boone Pickens made his inspiring announcement to provide a testamentary matching gift of $100 million for University scholar-ships, Library supporters quickly stepped up to take advantage of this unique opportunity. Dr. James and Elizabeth Wise of Oklahoma City pledged $50,000 to endow a scholarship for graduate students working at the OSU Libraries. Their gift qualifies for the Pickens Legacy Scholarship Match, resulting in a total endowment of $100,000. Dr. Wise served as a Library student assistant during his undergradu-ate career at OSU. For the last 20 years, his Wise Outstanding Student Assistant Award has encouraged outstanding performance by Library student workers while providing assistance to students supporting them-selves through school. Endowed scholarships, such as the one created by the Wises, leave a lasting impact at Oklahoma State because spending is made from earned interest only, leaving the fund’s principal intact. The Pickens Legacy Scholarship Match was initiated on February 26 at the Branding Success campaign launch event. Pickens’ $100 million pledge will match donations of at least $50,000 directed to scholarship endowments. For more information on the Pickens Legacy Scholarship Match, contact the OSU Foundation. by Jacob Longan Tom Carson and his family believe in “paying it forward,” which is why they chose to donate $100,000 to en-dow the Tom Carson Library Schol-arship through the Tom J. and Edna Mae Carson Foundation. This donation will be matched by the Pickens Legacy Scholarship Match, bringing the total impact to $200,000 in endowed funds. OSU President Burns Hargis ex-pressed the university’s appreciation for this boost to student support. “We are extremely grateful to the Carson family for their tremendous generosity,” said OSU President Burns Hargis. “This gift will provide life-changing support for our students.” Carson is a 1942 accounting gradu-ate, president of Carson Loan and Investment Company and chairman emeritus of the Bank of Commerce in Stilwell, Okla. His sons, Jim and Drew, each have two OSU degrees. “OSU means a lot to me as I was the first person in my family to grad-uate from college, and my years in Stillwater were very formative,” Car-son said. “I feel I received a good all-around education.” Carson said he gives because he knows others made it possible for him to attend then-Oklahoma A&M Col-lege. Since then his family has focused on “taking the baton and moving it forward so that others may also im-prove their lives. It is then up to them to pay forward for those to follow.” This scholarship endowment will support student workers at the OSU Library regardless of their area of study. Carson said he chose to direct the funds that way because of how much time he spent in the Library during his time in Stillwater. “I am glad to share my success by helping students attend OSU,” he said. “And this is such a rare opportu-nity to have the Pickens Match double the scholarship.” “This gift will provide life-changing support for our students.” OSU President Burns Hargis Carson Scholarship Doubled Carson (pictured center above, and in both photos to the right) was an active student during his time at OSU. The generosity of his family will ensure other students can benefit from all OSU has to offer. 20 21 According to Our Students, Feedback from the 2010 LibQUAL+ Survey Measuring Success “We have an excellent library, one that I feel surpasses most in the entire nation.” -Fourth-year Science/Math student “The Library is a great place to get away from friends and loud noises so I can focus on studying. I really like that I can check out a laptop to use for a few hours.” -Third-year Education student “I love all the databases available to me. I have used them often in researching papers and even general knowledge stuff.” -Third-year Business student “With the quick turn-around time of ILL, I seem to always have access to a resource whenever I have needed it.” -Fifth-year Arts/Humanities student “I think the Library is a great place that allows many resources for every student. The environment is very welcoming and pleasant, and the staff are a great help when needed.” -Third-year Education student “I LOVE the Library. BOSS is by far the best search system ever!” -Fourth-year Arts/Humanities student “This was the first year I used the instant message. I was afraid it would be slow, but it was very efficient.” -Third-year Journalism/Broadcasting student “The Library makes its services extremely accessible from off-campus loca-tions. I especially appreciate the “Get Article” link between databases and text-contact services that the Library offers. Employees are very helpful at answering questions about locating resources.” -First-year Education student “I love the Library study rooms!” -First-year Agricultural Sciences/Natu-ral Resources student “The Library is the only place I can truly get a lot of my work done. It serves as a foundation for my education and provides a place for me to really pursue knowledge.” -Second-year Agricultural Sciences/Natural Re-sources student “The Library has tons of resources and the people are very friendly and helpful. I always have a good experience at the Library (even when my homework is tough!)” -Third-year Education student by Marissa Chavez On a daily basis, the Library works diligently to provide exceptional ser-vices to students. To this end, the Library provides an annual survey to measure student satisfaction and make sure student voices are heard. “Providing exceptional service is always our goal,” said Karen Neu-rohr, OSU assessment librarian. “This survey is just one tool we use to help improve Library services.” LibQUAL+™ is web-based sur-vey offered by the Association of Re-search Libraries. The survey is used to solicit, track, understand and act upon users' opinions of service qual-ity. The survey is also meant to help the Library assess and improve its services. The survey was administered to more than 7,600 undergraduate students; of those about 26 percent completed the survey. According to the 2010 survey results, students reported the Library met or exceeded their expectations in the three areas examined: services, in-formation resources and library as a place. Students gave the highest satis-faction ratings to the Library’s conve-nient hours, group study spaces and employee knowledge. The feedback obtained will be used to improve students’ experiences at the Library. One frustration students voiced included slow printing time. Today, the Library has acted on that and added 13 express print stations. Anyone can quickly use the stations to print campus-related material. In the coming year, the Library will con-tinue to seek students’ views through LibQUAL+ and face-to-face meet-ings. What we learn in these on-going efforts helps to improve our services. Students gave the highest satisfaction ratings to the Library’s convenient hours, group study spaces and employee knowledge. 22 23 Success in Scholarship Shonda Brisco, CML librarian, contributed to the book No Shelf Re-quired: E-Books in the 21st Century. Shonda also presented “All Ears, No Tears: How to Create an Online Reading Corner in your Library or Classroom” at Encyclo-Media in Oklahoma City as well as a session on the implications and use of web 2.0 tools in school libraries at the Ameri-can Association of School Librarians conference in North Carolina. Michele Seikel, cataloging librarian, published “No More Romanizing: the Attempt to Be Less Anglocentric in RDA” in Cataloging & Classifica-tion Quarterly. Anne Prestamo, associate dean, was a recent invitational speaker at the Hawaii Library Association Annual Conference. She presented three sessions: “Is Google Winning,” “Collection Development Roundtable,” and “Where Do We Go From Here: The Next Decade for Libraries, Panel Discussion.” Mary Larson, head of the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program, presented “I’ve Noticed That You’re a Little Competitive…: Oral Histo-ry and Women’s Athletics” to the Oral History Association. At the ODL Oral History Symposium, she participated in four presentations: “Un-locking the Past: Techniques for Conducting Meaningful Interviews,” “The Marriage of Oral History and the Web: Opportunities and Issues,” “Edible History: Using Oral Interviews to Document and Preserve Cul-tural Identity,” and “Statewide Oral History Initiatives/Projects.” David Oberhelman Celebrated at Annual OSU Authors Event “It truly is an honor to be recognized for the hard work that goes into creating these publications.” By Valerie Trammell David Oberhelman discovered fan-tasy fiction at 14, when he first read J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings tril-ogy. He was immediately hooked, ulti-mately earning a Ph.D. in English from the University of California-Irvine, as well as a master’s in Library and In-formation Science from the University of Pittsburg. Oberhelman, a humani-ties and social sciences librarian at the OSU Library, continued his love of fantasy fiction by joining the My-thopoeic Society, a group dedicated to fantasy works and scholarship. It was through his work with this society that Oberhelman met Amy Sturgis, a colleague who explored the connection between Native American culture and fantasy. The relationship between these two areas fascinated Oberhelman; he and Sturgis spent the next three years editing and publish-ing The Intersection of Fantasy and Native America: From H.P. Lovecraft to Leslie Marmon Silko. Oberhelman’s work was honored at the OSU Library’s 2010 Celebrat-ing Books by OSU Authors event, an annual reception which honors fac-ulty, staff and students who have au-thored, co-authored or edited a book or published a creative work. The 2010 reception honored 25 au-thors from a vari-ety of disciplines, including art, psychology, music and animal sci-ence. The includ-ed works ranged from textbooks to audio CDs. “I appreciate the Library’s dedica-tion in honoring scholarship,” Ober-helman said. “It truly is an honor to be recognized for the hard work that goes into creating these publications.” 24 25 Goodbye Photocopies! Green is the New Orange Instructional guides have helped Library patrons use services more effec-tively for years. Now, a recent change in the distribution of those guides is contributing to the Library’s overall efforts to reduce paper consumption as well. The Library’s guides are now print-on-demand, ensuring that only the needed copies are printed. The Library is proud to partner with the university on the OSU Energy Conservation Program. Since 2007, the university has saved nearly $12 million as part of the initiative, which focuses on a people-oriented en-ergy management system. In efforts to reduce paper waste at the Library, we have expanded our paper recycling campaign. Recycling bins now accept colored paper in ad-dition to the white paper which was previously recyclable. Can and bottle recycling stations are also available on the Library Plaza. The Library has long been a popular spot for printing class materials on campus. Students and staff alike sought a more eco-friendly printing method. In response to these concerns, the Library offers duplex print-ing. By printing on both sides of the page, we ensure that our printing services are working at maximum efficiency. By Bonnie Ann Cain-Wood Thanks to innovative services at the Library, students and researchers are saying goodbye to long hours in front of the photocopy machine. Full-text downloads, document delivery, online reserves and scanning stations, are all reducing the demand for photocopying in the Library. Not only do these tools provide quick flexible access to materials, but they also reduce paper waste. Full-text downloads are nothing new to the Library, but each year our online offerings expand. Students can access hundreds of journals, many with coverage back to issue one. Now, through Document Delivery, library users can request the same convenient electronic format for articles and book chapters in our print-only collection. Just file a request online, and staff will pull and digitize print materials on-demand. Files are delivered elec-tronically straight to your inbox. Test files, question sets and other materials placed on reserve are also available online. Students no longer need to wait in line to make copies of a reserve folder. Many reserve files can be downloaded directly from the Li-brary’s website anytime, anywhere. Students are driving green efforts in the Library as well. At the request of students, the Library has imple-mented duplex printing on all public printers and added scanning stations in the public computer area. With more and more material available electronically, we find stu-dents want all their files saved this way. When the occasional photocopy is needed, many students would rath-er scan the page and save to a portable drive. It’s cheaper and eco-friendly. Proud to be Paperless Interlibrary Loan student assistant Jessica St. Germaine scans a book chapter to fulfill a Document Delivery request. Docu-ment Delivery is one of a number of services designed to reduce paper waste at the Library. Henry & Alice Gehrke A.

These endowments will further aca-demic excellence at the OSU Library. Dean of Libraries Sheila Grant- Johnson (A) now holds the newly cre-ated Clerico Family Chair for Library Excellence. In 2008, John Clerico do-nated a million dollars to create the position. Linda and Calvin Anthony added to the gift, and the total was matched by Boone Pickens. These funds will be matched by the state as well. Clerico’s desire was to create one of the top endowments in the nation for a library dean. Anne Prestamo (B), associate dean of libraries, now holds the Claud D. Kniffin Professor of Library Service and Education. The Kniffin posi-tion was established in 2008 with a gift from David Kniffin to honor his late father, a long-time member of the Friends of the OSU Library Board. David’s gift was matched by Boone Pickens and will eventually be matched by the state. The Kniffin position is designed to encourage excellence in teaching and scholarship in the Edmon Low Library. Mary Larson (C), professor and head of the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program, was appointed to the Doris Neustadt Professor of Li-brary Service, formerly held by Dean Johnson. The Neustadt position was established in 1991 with a goal to enhance library collections and ser-vices. Other Library Professorships Puterbaugh Professorship for Li-brary Service, established in 1991 to enhance a faculty position, is cur-rently held by Jennifer Paustenbaugh (D), associate dean of libraries. W.P. Wood Professorship for Li-brary Service, established in 1992, is held by Vicki Phillips (E), head of the science and engineering division. A B C D E First Cowgirl and Friends of the OSU Library Board member, Ann Hargis, is just one of many supporters ensuring the success of the OSU Libraries. At the OSU Library, we believe success starts here. Every day, we deliver the tools, information and ser-vices to ensure academic and research success for our students and faculty. We exist as a resource to expand the learning potential of students and citizens of our state and to enhance the teaching and research capabilities of our faculty. In this year’s annual report, we show some of our success stories. I hope you enjoy reading about the ac-complishments of our organization and its staff, faculty and student em-ployees. I’m sure you’ve heard about Brand-ing Success: The Campaign for Okla-homa State University. This exciting billion-dollar campaign is transform-ing OSU, and the Libraries will ben-efit from this fundraising initiative. In fiscal year 2010, I was honored to assume the newly established Clerico Family Chair for Library Excellence. This endowment, which was matched by Boone Pickens, is one of the na-tion’s largest endowed library dean chairs. We also secured new scholar-ships to support and reward our out-standing student employees (related story on pages 18-19). In addition, private donations funded major reno-vations to the Edmon Low Library, improving areas serving students (re-lated stories on pages 16-17). With declining state funding, the support of our Friends is needed more than ever. On behalf of all the stu-dents who rely on the OSU Libraries, I thank you for ensuring another suc-cessful year. Sheila Grant Johnson, Dean of Libraries & Clerico Family Chair for Library Excellence Letter from the Dean 6 7 Success in Leadership Each year, thousands of new librarians apply for the American Li-brary Association’s Emerging Leaders program; only 100 are selected. This year, the OSU Library’s Hui-Fen Chang was chosen for the class of 2010 and was also selected for sponsorship by the Association of College and Research Libraries. This year, Dr. Mary Larson took leadership of the Oklahoma Oral His-tory Research Program where she will work collaboratively with other faculty in the Center for Oklahoma Studies. Much of Larson’s past work in oral history has centered on evolving technologies, including best prac-tices, ethical concerns and utilization of new media for accessibility. She has quickly become involved with the Oklahoma historical research com-munity through publications, presentation and a gubernatorial appoint-ment to the Oklahoma Historic Records Advisory Board. Assessment Librarian, Karen Neurohr, has served on the Friends of Libraries in Oklahoma Board since 2006. FOLIO is a volunteer organiza-tion that promotes and supports our state’s libraries. This year, in recog-nition of her outstanding work with the Oklahoma Literary Landmark program and the FOLIO scholarship program, Karen was named to the FOLIO Hall of Fame. Associate Dean Anne Prestamo was recently elected chair of the On-line Computer Library Center (OCLC) Americas Regional Council (ARC). Council members act as representatives, giving members a voice on ser-vices and policies. Prestamo will serve as the inaugural chair of the com-mittee, which was recently established under new governance guidelines. In addition to her year term as chair, she will also serve as ARC delegate to the OCLC Global Council for three years. VT: Jennifer, you are involved in so many important endeavors. What project from the last year are you most proud of ? JP: Seeing the documentary Indi-ans, Outlaws and Angie Debo digitally remastered so that it can be distrib-uted free to all Oklahoma public, academic, school and tribal libraries beginning in January 2011. This is a project that has taken years to bring to fruition, and I’m thrilled that a new generation of Oklahomans will have a chance to become acquainted with, arguably, Oklahoma’s most im-portant citizen. VT: What do you think is the most exciting project on the horizon for the OSU Library? JP: The Library has formed part-nerships with so many interesting and important organizations. These part-nerships result in exciting programs, significant new digital resources, and gifts of unique materials. For instance, we’re working on a project assisted by a family foundation and the Roch-ester (NY) Public Library to make available online 25 years of the public opinion-shaping editorials of jour-nalist Paul Miller, who was CEO of Gannett Corporation, first president of the Associated Press and an alum-nus of Oklahoma A&M College. The rapidly changing digital landscape creates exciting new opportunities to extend even more of our resources to the state and to the world. VT: Why do you think it’s impor-tant to seek these leadership op-portunities? JP: Leadership opportunities are primarily the chance to create change through collaboration. In addition to the satisfaction of seeing things ac-complished that you alone could not make happen, leadership opportuni-ties help you build a strong network of colleagues who can be invaluable resources for future projects or sound-ing boards for current activities. VT: What advice would you give to young women who are interested in leadership? JP: In any organization there are people who do the work and people who watch others do the work. Find a group whose mission and goals fit with yours and get involved. Be a worker. People who step up and con-tribute in a positive way get noticed and have opportunities for more significant roles. by Valerie Trammell Dr. Jennifer Paustenbaugh is the very picture of an accomplished woman. In addition to serving as As-sociate Dean of Libraries for Planning & Assess-ment and Puterbaugh Professor of Library Service at the OSU Library, Paustenbaugh serves in numerous outside leadership positions. She served as chair of the Oklahoma Commission on the Status of Women in 2006-2007 and currently serves as Director of the Women’s Archives at Oklahoma State University. I spoke with Jennifer to discuss her long history of ser-vice, leadership and commitment to women. Snapshot of Success A leadership portrait of Dr. Jennifer Paustenbaugh 8 9 Success through Technology Oral History Goes High Tech The Centennial Histories Series is a 25-volume set that documents the first 100 years of OSU history. This comprehensive series includes books dedi-cated to each college and a variety of other programs and units, including the library, research, athletics and the alumni assocaition. The OSU Li-brary has now digitized and made publicly available the entire set. You can search and view the entire collection at http://centennial.okstate.edu/. Dr. Anne Prestamo, Associate Dean of Collection and Technology Servic-es, was invited to represent OSU as a founding member of the17-mem-ber Summon Advisory Board. Summon is a discovery service that allows researchers to quickly search a variety of library sources using a single search box. OSU has played a pivotal role in the development of this in-novative technology. The OSU Library is reaching students where they spend their time: on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. The Library’s Twitter account reaches nearly 900 people with each update and allows staff to easily re-spond to student concerns. Our Facebook account has become a discussion area for students, staff and faculty alike. Official Library Twitter accounts: Library News: @okstatelibrary Oklahoma Oral History Research Program: @OOHRP Official Library Facebook accounts: Edmon Low Library Oklahoma Oral History Research Program Veterinary Medicine Library @ Oklahoma State University by Marissa Chavez The Oklahoma Oral History Re-search Program joins historical ac-counts with modern technology, mak-ing content accessible through iTunes and social media sites. Hearing Reverend Ben Noble re-flect on Martin Luther King Jr.’s funeral isn’t what an iTunes listener would expect, but OOHRP has trans-formed the way history is being told today. “Everything we do here is in an effort to make things more easily ac-cessible,” said Mary Larson, professor and head of OOHRP. This library department allows ev-eryone access to its research. Extend-ing outreach online helps the public conduct research without stepping foot on campus. Also, while some oral history departments are just start-ing to video record their interviews, OOHRP is ahead of this curve. Most of its interviews are recorded on both audio and video and are available on-line through the Library’s website and iTunesU. iTunesU offers an innovative meth-od to get educational content into the hands of students, and OOHRP is taking advantage. Then & Now is a weekly radio series featuring the voices of OOHRP, airing Wednes-days at 9:17 a.m. and 4:44 p.m. on the STATE’s Public Radio, KOSU. If lis-teners miss an episode they can down-load it from OSU’s iTunesU channel. OOHRP has contributed about 25 percent of the total material for OSU on iTunesU thus far. OOHRP has recently joined the social media world and is interacting with students and faculty through the use of Facebook and Twitter. With more than 175 Facebook fans and about 60 Twitter followers, OOHRP is sharing more with new audiences than ever before. “Everybody has a story,” Larson said, “and the oral history depart-ment is trying more than ever before to make sure those stories are heard.” 10 11 Successful Partnerships Disciplines Unite for Center Symposium By Bonnie Ann Cain-Wood The legend of Geronimo endures more than a century after his death. To honor this prominent American Indian leader and to help separate legend from life, the Center for Okla-homa Studies (COS) hosted its first symposium on February 16. The COS was created to inspire in-terdisciplinary work and encourage an exchange of ideas. It brings to-gether a diverse group of individuals who contribute to the ever-expanding pool of knowledge about our state. The Center’s Symposium is an ideal vehicle to accomplish this mission. The inau-gural Center for Oklahoma Studies Sympo-sium, “Geroni-mo: Warrior for an American Dream,” featured four guest speakers who presented differ-ent perspectives on the life and times of the Apache leader. Historians, film scholars, authors and poets discussed how the Apache leader’s depiction in popular culture compared to his actu-al life events. The symposium closed with a screening of Geronimo: An American Legend. The OSU Center for Oklahoma Studies is a partnership of English, history and the OSU Library’s Oklahoma Oral History Re-search Program. The spring 2010 symposium was cosponsored by the Center for Oklahoma Studies, the OSU Library, the OSU History Club and Phi Alpha Theta. The Library provides space to the Writing Center Outpost, an ex-tremely successful collaboration with the English Department. Working from a group study room, tutors give one-on-one instruction in writing methods and formatting in study rooms at the Library, allowing students a one-stop shop for their educational needs. The Library Outpost has dra-matically increased the number of students utilizing this valuable service because of its location--where the students are. On-demand printing is one of the Library’s most appreciated student services. This year, the Library teamed with students from industrial engineering to gauge perceptions of Library printing and proposed im-provements. Information gathered by the student investigators spurred the upcoming installation of a dozen “quick print stations.” To Kill a Mockingbird is a landmark of American literature and a recent collaboration between the OSU and Stillwater libraries allowed readers to rediscover the classic tome. One Book, One Community: Still-water Reads To Kill a Mockingbird involved nearly a thousand people in numerous book discussions, film screenings and scholarly panels. The Peggy V. Helmerich Browsing Room was transformed into a cabaret nightclub for the 2010 Noteworthy Evening, a collaboration be-tween the Library and the OSU Music Department. The event, a fund-raiser which benefits the Friends’ Music Collection Endowment support-ing the study of music, featured music students presenting a variety of vocal pieces. The COS was created to inspire interdisciplinary work and encourage an exchange of ideas. 12 13 By Marissa Chavez Patient, helpful, irreplaceable and dedicated are just a few words that many use to describe Kim Seagraves. These attributes and more granted her the honor of receiving the 2009 Edna Mae Phelps Award. “Kim has earned the gratitude, re-spect and af-fection of nearly all of those with whom she has worked, and is a most worthy re-cipient of this award,” said Dr. Anne Prestamo, Associate Dean for Collec-tion and Technology Services. Seagraves earned her B.A. in man-agement information systems and a Standing Ovation for Seagraves master’s degree in telecommunica-tions management from Oklahoma State University. She began working for the Library in 1988 as a Library Assistant in Access Services, but cur-rently serves as the Assistant Depart-ment Head for the Li-brary’s Sys-tems De-partment. “In look-ing back over the 21 years of service to the OSU Li-brary, she is definitely a person who has, and still is, making a positive difference for nearly everyone who walks through the doors of the OSU Library,” said Rod McAbee Director of Library Systems. Seagraves maintains the Library’s online catalog system, Voyager, which serves not only OSU, but also 12 other libraries across Oklahoma. She has spent countless hours on the system to assure Library users have uninterrupt-ed access to the Library’s databases. Seagraves was recognized with the Outstanding Employee Award in 1993 and the Mary Greenberg/Mar-guerite Howland Personnel Develop-ment Award in 1997. The Phelps award has been pre-sented annually since 1994 to recog-nize individuals who have substan-tially and unselfishly gone above and beyond duty, to increase the ef-fectiveness of the OSU Library. It is the highest honor presented by the Friends of the OSU Library. She is definitely a person who has, and still is, making a positive difference for nearly everyone who walks through the doors. Recognized for Success The Class of 1942 Willham Scholarship, established in 1992, assists out-standing student employees of the OSU Library and encourages further excellence. The 2010 winners are Lydia Meador (A), Tyler Merriman, Monica Kim and Anna Davis. Merriman and Meador (A) were also named student representatives on the 2010 Friends of the OSU Library Board of Directors.

Louise and H.E. “Ed” Cobb Speaker Series on November 6. Tyson is a world famous astrophysicist, author of nine books and host of NOVA scienceNow, but he is most-famously known as the spokesperson on the demotion of the planet Pluto. Tyson’s charisma, humor and friendliness wowed the crowd from beginning to end. More than 230 people were in attendance including a record-setting number of stu-dents. Tyson focused on science literacy in the United States. He spoke about the cultural impact of being knowl-edgeable about science. He compared the U.S. with other countries, arguing that we are falling behind in subjects like science and math. He encouraged the audience to have a curious mind and talked about how to inform others about sci-ence. Tyson, who is lauded as one of the “50 Best Brains in Science,” enlightened and entertained. His quirky facts about the universe and engaging style had guests cheering throughout the talk. Tyson’s charisma, humor and friendliness wowed the crowd. The Peggy V. Helmerich Browsing Room comes alive with music dur-ing the Noon Concert Series, free and informal performances by OSU Music Department students. The concert series began in 2004 and has become popular with students, staff and faculty alike. Dallas County Criminal District Attorney Craig Watkins spoke about his “smart-on-crime” approach to criminal justice as the featured guest at OSU’s Constitution Day celebration hosted by the Library on Septem-ber 17, 2009. Constitution Day is a federal observance that honors the signing of the United States Constitution. 2009 Oklahoma Poet Laureate Jim Barnes shared his poetry with guests as the speaker at Oklahoma Ovation, which celebrates our admit-tance as the 47th state. Many of Barnes’ books have been honored, most notably The Sawdust War, which received the Oklahoma Book Award in Poetry. The relationship between the Plains Apache and plants was the sub-ject of botanist Julia Jordan’s presentation at the March 26 botanical lecture. Jordan conducted extensive fieldwork with elders of the Apache Tribe of Oklahoma in order to explore the tribe’s traditional knowledge of plants. 16 17 Building for Success By Valerie Trammell It is often said that form follows function, but the two have been joined in the newly renovated Circulation and Information center at the OSU Library. The project, generously funded by a private dona-tion from Steve and Susan Raybourn of Oklahoma City, joined the two ser-vice areas into one large, accessible central area. Black granite covers warm wood counters in an elegant up-date to this hub of Library service. In addition to being more aestheti-cally pleasing, the new area will function more ef-ficiently as well. With the addi-tion of a third counter designated solely for laptop checkout, the new service center will give students easy access to the re-sources they use most often: comput-ers, study rooms and help from librar-ians. “With the new layout, you can see both desks as soon as you walk in, and you can see someone is always there to help,” said Sheila Grant Johnson, Dean of Libraries. “Our focus has always been on giv-ing the best possible service to the public. These updates will help us ac-complish that goal with style.” The popular Reading Room (A) has received a much needed update, cour-tesy of a private gift from an anonymous donor. The room received up-grades to its lighting and electrical systems, as well as an elegant refur-bishing of its décor. New tables with study lamps and casual seating areas complete the renovation. The John Rex Cunningham Architecture Library (B) has reopened in the newly constructed west wing of the Donald W. Reynolds Architecture Building. The new area features large glass windows and exposed metal elements, allowing students to study in inspiring architectural surround-ings. The Oklahoma Oral History Research Program (C) has a new home, a re-cently constructed office on the second floor of the Edmon Low Library. The offices allow faculty and staff to work with interviewees in a comfort-able and elegant setting. The new facility also provides a beautiful mir-ror to the Special Collections and University Archives office, which sits directly opposite it on the second floor. The Edmon Low Library now boasts an additional 50 public computer workstations in the popular first floor computer cluster. The new machines were added to handle additional demands due to the closing of the student Our focus has always computer lab in the Student Union. been on giving the best possible service to the public. Service Center Opens for Business C B A 18 19 Wise Adds Graduate Fellowship When T. Boone Pickens made his inspiring announcement to provide a testamentary matching gift of $100 million for University scholar-ships, Library supporters quickly stepped up to take advantage of this unique opportunity. Dr. James and Elizabeth Wise of Oklahoma City pledged $50,000 to endow a scholarship for graduate students working at the OSU Libraries. Their gift qualifies for the Pickens Legacy Scholarship Match, resulting in a total endowment of $100,000. Dr. Wise served as a Library student assistant during his undergradu-ate career at OSU. For the last 20 years, his Wise Outstanding Student Assistant Award has encouraged outstanding performance by Library student workers while providing assistance to students supporting them-selves through school. Endowed scholarships, such as the one created by the Wises, leave a lasting impact at Oklahoma State because spending is made from earned interest only, leaving the fund’s principal intact. The Pickens Legacy Scholarship Match was initiated on February 26 at the Branding Success campaign launch event. Pickens’ $100 million pledge will match donations of at least $50,000 directed to scholarship endowments. For more information on the Pickens Legacy Scholarship Match, contact the OSU Foundation. by Jacob Longan Tom Carson and his family believe in “paying it forward,” which is why they chose to donate $100,000 to en-dow the Tom Carson Library Schol-arship through the Tom J. and Edna Mae Carson Foundation. This donation will be matched by the Pickens Legacy Scholarship Match, bringing the total impact to $200,000 in endowed funds. OSU President Burns Hargis ex-pressed the university’s appreciation for this boost to student support. “We are extremely grateful to the Carson family for their tremendous generosity,” said OSU President Burns Hargis. “This gift will provide life-changing support for our students.” Carson is a 1942 accounting gradu-ate, president of Carson Loan and Investment Company and chairman emeritus of the Bank of Commerce in Stilwell, Okla. His sons, Jim and Drew, each have two OSU degrees. “OSU means a lot to me as I was the first person in my family to grad-uate from college, and my years in Stillwater were very formative,” Car-son said. “I feel I received a good all-around education.” Carson said he gives because he knows others made it possible for him to attend then-Oklahoma A&M Col-lege. Since then his family has focused on “taking the baton and moving it forward so that others may also im-prove their lives. It is then up to them to pay forward for those to follow.” This scholarship endowment will support student workers at the OSU Library regardless of their area of study. Carson said he chose to direct the funds that way because of how much time he spent in the Library during his time in Stillwater. “I am glad to share my success by helping students attend OSU,” he said. “And this is such a rare opportu-nity to have the Pickens Match double the scholarship.” “This gift will provide life-changing support for our students.” OSU President Burns Hargis Carson Scholarship Doubled Carson (pictured center above, and in both photos to the right) was an active student during his time at OSU. The generosity of his family will ensure other students can benefit from all OSU has to offer. 20 21 According to Our Students, Feedback from the 2010 LibQUAL+ Survey Measuring Success “We have an excellent library, one that I feel surpasses most in the entire nation.” -Fourth-year Science/Math student “The Library is a great place to get away from friends and loud noises so I can focus on studying. I really like that I can check out a laptop to use for a few hours.” -Third-year Education student “I love all the databases available to me. I have used them often in researching papers and even general knowledge stuff.” -Third-year Business student “With the quick turn-around time of ILL, I seem to always have access to a resource whenever I have needed it.” -Fifth-year Arts/Humanities student “I think the Library is a great place that allows many resources for every student. The environment is very welcoming and pleasant, and the staff are a great help when needed.” -Third-year Education student “I LOVE the Library. BOSS is by far the best search system ever!” -Fourth-year Arts/Humanities student “This was the first year I used the instant message. I was afraid it would be slow, but it was very efficient.” -Third-year Journalism/Broadcasting student “The Library makes its services extremely accessible from off-campus loca-tions. I especially appreciate the “Get Article” link between databases and text-contact services that the Library offers. Employees are very helpful at answering questions about locating resources.” -First-year Education student “I love the Library study rooms!” -First-year Agricultural Sciences/Natu-ral Resources student “The Library is the only place I can truly get a lot of my work done. It serves as a foundation for my education and provides a place for me to really pursue knowledge.” -Second-year Agricultural Sciences/Natural Re-sources student “The Library has tons of resources and the people are very friendly and helpful. I always have a good experience at the Library (even when my homework is tough!)” -Third-year Education student by Marissa Chavez On a daily basis, the Library works diligently to provide exceptional ser-vices to students. To this end, the Library provides an annual survey to measure student satisfaction and make sure student voices are heard. “Providing exceptional service is always our goal,” said Karen Neu-rohr, OSU assessment librarian. “This survey is just one tool we use to help improve Library services.” LibQUAL+™ is web-based sur-vey offered by the Association of Re-search Libraries. The survey is used to solicit, track, understand and act upon users' opinions of service qual-ity. The survey is also meant to help the Library assess and improve its services. The survey was administered to more than 7,600 undergraduate students; of those about 26 percent completed the survey. According to the 2010 survey results, students reported the Library met or exceeded their expectations in the three areas examined: services, in-formation resources and library as a place. Students gave the highest satis-faction ratings to the Library’s conve-nient hours, group study spaces and employee knowledge. The feedback obtained will be used to improve students’ experiences at the Library. One frustration students voiced included slow printing time. Today, the Library has acted on that and added 13 express print stations. Anyone can quickly use the stations to print campus-related material. In the coming year, the Library will con-tinue to seek students’ views through LibQUAL+ and face-to-face meet-ings. What we learn in these on-going efforts helps to improve our services. Students gave the highest satisfaction ratings to the Library’s convenient hours, group study spaces and employee knowledge. 22 23 Success in Scholarship Shonda Brisco, CML librarian, contributed to the book No Shelf Re-quired: E-Books in the 21st Century. Shonda also presented “All Ears, No Tears: How to Create an Online Reading Corner in your Library or Classroom” at Encyclo-Media in Oklahoma City as well as a session on the implications and use of web 2.0 tools in school libraries at the Ameri-can Association of School Librarians conference in North Carolina. Michele Seikel, cataloging librarian, published “No More Romanizing: the Attempt to Be Less Anglocentric in RDA” in Cataloging & Classifica-tion Quarterly. Anne Prestamo, associate dean, was a recent invitational speaker at the Hawaii Library Association Annual Conference. She presented three sessions: “Is Google Winning,” “Collection Development Roundtable,” and “Where Do We Go From Here: The Next Decade for Libraries, Panel Discussion.” Mary Larson, head of the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program, presented “I’ve Noticed That You’re a Little Competitive…: Oral Histo-ry and Women’s Athletics” to the Oral History Association. At the ODL Oral History Symposium, she participated in four presentations: “Un-locking the Past: Techniques for Conducting Meaningful Interviews,” “The Marriage of Oral History and the Web: Opportunities and Issues,” “Edible History: Using Oral Interviews to Document and Preserve Cul-tural Identity,” and “Statewide Oral History Initiatives/Projects.” David Oberhelman Celebrated at Annual OSU Authors Event “It truly is an honor to be recognized for the hard work that goes into creating these publications.” By Valerie Trammell David Oberhelman discovered fan-tasy fiction at 14, when he first read J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings tril-ogy. He was immediately hooked, ulti-mately earning a Ph.D. in English from the University of California-Irvine, as well as a master’s in Library and In-formation Science from the University of Pittsburg. Oberhelman, a humani-ties and social sciences librarian at the OSU Library, continued his love of fantasy fiction by joining the My-thopoeic Society, a group dedicated to fantasy works and scholarship. It was through his work with this society that Oberhelman met Amy Sturgis, a colleague who explored the connection between Native American culture and fantasy. The relationship between these two areas fascinated Oberhelman; he and Sturgis spent the next three years editing and publish-ing The Intersection of Fantasy and Native America: From H.P. Lovecraft to Leslie Marmon Silko. Oberhelman’s work was honored at the OSU Library’s 2010 Celebrat-ing Books by OSU Authors event, an annual reception which honors fac-ulty, staff and students who have au-thored, co-authored or edited a book or published a creative work. The 2010 reception honored 25 au-thors from a vari-ety of disciplines, including art, psychology, music and animal sci-ence. The includ-ed works ranged from textbooks to audio CDs. “I appreciate the Library’s dedica-tion in honoring scholarship,” Ober-helman said. “It truly is an honor to be recognized for the hard work that goes into creating these publications.” 24 25 Goodbye Photocopies! Green is the New Orange Instructional guides have helped Library patrons use services more effec-tively for years. Now, a recent change in the distribution of those guides is contributing to the Library’s overall efforts to reduce paper consumption as well. The Library’s guides are now print-on-demand, ensuring that only the needed copies are printed. The Library is proud to partner with the university on the OSU Energy Conservation Program. Since 2007, the university has saved nearly $12 million as part of the initiative, which focuses on a people-oriented en-ergy management system. In efforts to reduce paper waste at the Library, we have expanded our paper recycling campaign. Recycling bins now accept colored paper in ad-dition to the white paper which was previously recyclable. Can and bottle recycling stations are also available on the Library Plaza. The Library has long been a popular spot for printing class materials on campus. Students and staff alike sought a more eco-friendly printing method. In response to these concerns, the Library offers duplex print-ing. By printing on both sides of the page, we ensure that our printing services are working at maximum efficiency. By Bonnie Ann Cain-Wood Thanks to innovative services at the Library, students and researchers are saying goodbye to long hours in front of the photocopy machine. Full-text downloads, document delivery, online reserves and scanning stations, are all reducing the demand for photocopying in the Library. Not only do these tools provide quick flexible access to materials, but they also reduce paper waste. Full-text downloads are nothing new to the Library, but each year our online offerings expand. Students can access hundreds of journals, many with coverage back to issue one. Now, through Document Delivery, library users can request the same convenient electronic format for articles and book chapters in our print-only collection. Just file a request online, and staff will pull and digitize print materials on-demand. Files are delivered elec-tronically straight to your inbox. Test files, question sets and other materials placed on reserve are also available online. Students no longer need to wait in line to make copies of a reserve folder. Many reserve files can be downloaded directly from the Li-brary’s website anytime, anywhere. Students are driving green efforts in the Library as well. At the request of students, the Library has imple-mented duplex printing on all public printers and added scanning stations in the public computer area. With more and more material available electronically, we find stu-dents want all their files saved this way. When the occasional photocopy is needed, many students would rath-er scan the page and save to a portable drive. It’s cheaper and eco-friendly. Proud to be Paperless Interlibrary Loan student assistant Jessica St. Germaine scans a book chapter to fulfill a Document Delivery request. Docu-ment Delivery is one of a number of services designed to reduce paper waste at the Library. Henry & Alice Gehrke A.
