February/March 2010Kaleidoscope is the internal newsletter of the Cornell Library. Kaleidoscope would like to remind readers that this is your publication. We are CUL and we are a diverse group of people and libraries and collections with astonishing talent among librarians and support staff alike. Kaleidoscope welcomes written news and photos, whether professional or personal, to share with colleagues. We publish every two months during the academic year, and appear mid month in August, October, December, February, and April.* Submissions are due the penultimate (next-to-last) week of the month preceding publication. If you wish to receive a reminder please contact et14. Help us continue to celebrate our resources and ourselves. *Except of course this year. Oops and sincere apologies! CUL Art Show Returns CUL Art Show ReturnsThe CUL Art show is back! Created in March 2001 (see our April issue of that year), the spring exhibit showcased arts, crafts, and entertainment for five years before going on hiatus in 2005. Now the newly formed Library Forum has revived the show for what is hoped to be again an annual event. The 2010 CUL Art / Talent Extravanganza was held on March 24 in the fishbowl (Cocktail) lounge in Uris on an unusually clear day during spring break at Cornell. It included performances, arts and crafts, and for the first time culinary delights. By all measures it was a wonderful show. If you somehow missed it or would have liked to include your own talent, be thinking ahead for next year's show. For the 2010 list of participants see below. For Carla DeMello's gallery of photographs see here.

I've enjoyed sewing most of my life, starting with sewing many of my own clothes in high school. When my old Singer sewing machine finally died, I took a hiatus for many years until I was given a beautiful Pfaff machine several years ago. Most of what I sew now is for gifts and decorating and I've made an occasional quilt or two. Recently, I helped organize a community market where I live and found there was a niche for functional handmade items, so I have been playing around with designing odds and ends to sell. My "company" is called Sycamore Designs, paying homage to a massive 100+ year old sycamore tree that dominates my side yard.

This painting is based on a photograph I took last October at Little Tree Orchards in Newfield. It was a cold and blustery, but sunny day, and these lotuses were among the last of the season-a final glimpse of summer before the coming cold!

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to write and illustrate children's books. As I have yet to be published in that genre, I've taken it upon myself to just have fun with it instead. I write and illustrate stories for my family and friends instead and give a copy of the finished project to them as a gift, while keeping one for myself. Maybe someday my work will make its way out into the Big World, but until then this outlet will do.

Cynthia Pike Rich, CLO Cataloging, Stained glass
I have always been fascinated by glass and its diversity, both in properties and application, from enameling to blowing, lampworking to stained glass. Also being fascinated by nature, I love the challenge of incorporating the characteristics of the glass to reflect the qualities of nature.

I only get to sew when I take a class so all my projects are from classes I've taken in Ithaca. This includes classes at Quilters Corner (mostly) SewGreen, and the Kitschen Sink. I like to do small pieces so that they get done.

In the October 2008 issue of Kaleidoscope the PSEC Library Instruction Committee announced the creation of LIPP. That article outlined the four-part “train the trainer” series that the Committee members and other invited participants went through with David Way, Director of Instructional Support from the Cornell Center for Teaching Excellence, to prepare for offering the Program.
Since that time the Instruction Committee has helped to generate interest in the Program by hosting several forums on LIPP. The first was a panel presentation by LIPP participants held last spring as part of Professional Development Week. Panel members included: Eric Acree, Camille Andrews, Ken Bolton, Kaila Bussert, Tony Cosgrave (moderator), Ryan Krolick, Jaron Porciello, Neely Tang and Lynn Thitchener. Although attendance was light we did generate new participation in the program.
The next event was a LIPP Brown Bag organized by Committee member Lynn Thitchener last month. This event was less formal and involved both past and current LIPP participants as well as people interested in the program. In part, as a result of these efforts, and through word of mouth we currently have twelve partners who have participated in LIPP. They include: Eric Acree, Camille Andrews, Ken Bolton, Kaila Bussert, Jeremy Cusker, Ryan Krolick, Maaike Oldemans, Jaron Porciello, Jill Powell, Neely Tang, Lynn Thitchener, and Wendy Wilcox.
There is interest in LIPP outside of Cornell too. Information about this program was picked up in an ACRL blog and a librarian from Harvard contacted David Way to purchase a set of the DVDs David made of the original training series he provided. I also did a poster session at the ACRL/NY Emerging Leadership in Academic Libraries conference in December at Baruch College.
Anyone interested in participating in the program should complete the LIPP application form. As library instruction becomes stronger, we situate ourselves at the core of Cornell's mission.
The Research & Assessment Unit (RAU) provides library-wide support for planning and decision-making through research and the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data concerning the full range of library functions. RAU staff manage comprehensive CUL data, benchmark CUL against various groups, conduct custom research projects to provide evidence for specific decisions, track trends, do consultations, coordinate assessment activities, and respond to external requests for data about CUL. The RAU team is committed to helping align library programs and collections with user needs, and supporting a culture of assessment in the CUL community so that the use of measurements can permeate all activities. They use a wide variety of methodologies including surveys, focus groups, interviews, observations, statistical analysis, text analysis, and data manipulation. Please explore RAU's recently redesigned web site! It includes information about current and planned work, results of completed projects, links to a variety of data sources and assessment resources, and a trend tracker that is open for contributions by all library staff.

Subject: New Map Room Display
Hello,
I am excited to announce a new project, “Map Room Weekly News Update,” on permanent display on the wall outside of the Map Room in the basement of Olin Library. The Map Room Weekly News Update presents news items from around the world that may not have received front-page coverage by the mainstream newspapers, TV, radio, and online news services. Our goal is to link visually the content of the news items with the geographic locations where they have happened.
We also want to engage the CUL and the broader Cornell community in publicizing important world events. We invite you to contribute short news pieces on political, ecological, scientific, or cultural topics, no larger than 100 words in length, with a complete citation of the news source. We reserve the right to edit the language of the submitted materials.
Please send your submissions no later than 9am on the Monday of the week the news item will be displayed, as MS Word attachments in an e-mail to olinmaps@cornell.edu.

Subject: Strategic Planning Information Now on Staff Web
Dear colleagues,
I’m writing to invite you to check out a new section on the Staff Web, CUL Strategic Planning (http://staffweb.library.cornell.edu/).
The section contains information on facts and status of the current Library planning activities, a suggestion box for you to submit questions, comments, and ideas, archived budget planning information for FY2009/2010, and links to the relevant University sites. Here, you will also find information on the sale of duplicative copies to Tsinghua University Library. Very soon, we’ll have more information and updates on 2CUL. Because all these activities are constantly evolving this site will evolve, expand, and improve continuously.
Many CUL colleagues contributed to making this section happen. Among all, I’d like to thank Michelle Eastman and Jenn Colt-Damaree for their hard work.

Subject: Did You Know? (the value of the library)
We all know that maintaining a research library requires a large investment. The annual expenditure figures of a library quantify the investment, but do not tell the whole story. How do we quantify the other side of the story, the contributions the library makes in return to the university?
The entire text of this thought-provoking email is too long to reproduce here, but you can find it archived on Staff Web here or find it at the RAU Web site here.

Subject: Announcing the Visual Resources Working Group
As many of you may know, the library has been working with the deans and faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Architecture, Art, and Planning to develop a suite of visual resources services after the closure of the Knight Visual Resources Facility last Spring. Since then, a group of visual resources specialists within the library has been planning, developing, and implementing new ways of providing image-related services to our patrons in the colleges of Arts and Sciences and Architecture, Art, and Planning. Our first phase of investigation has concluded, and we are actively providing patrons a suite of electronic and in-person services.
We are pleased to announce a new, expanded Visual Resources Working Group (VRWG), which will be co-chaired by Danielle Mericle and Kaila Bussert. Although VRWG has been in existence since 2004, we have recently modified the group to develop a new service framework to better meet the changing needs of faculty, staff, students, and other library patrons.
For the charge and composition of this newly expanded group go to Staff Web and see here.

Subject: What Is Happening in Uris Library
Hi all,
Here is a quick update on what has been going on in Uris Library in case you get questions from patrons:
As you are probably aware, in October of 2009, the Board of Trustees approved design development and enabling work for a fire safety improvement project in Olin Library. The construction work is scheduled to begin in May-June, 2010 and be completed in the fall of 2011. It will require the temporary relocation of around 100, 000 volumes of the Olin collection. At the end of the project, the Olin/Uris collections will be re-mapped to facilitate better discovery and easier maintenance. We'll be working on the re-mapping of the collection with the faculty Humanities Research Collections Council. For more information on the fire safety project, please visit our site. It is still very much under construction but we'll be populating it with more information, as it becomes available.
In the meantime, the formal collaboration agreement with Tsinghua University in China, which CUL signed in the fall, as you probably know, also includes the sale of 95,000 duplicate volumes from the Uris collection to Tsinghua University. The money from the sale will be used to increase the Cornell University Library’s collections acquisition budget. Further information on the sale of the Uris duplicative collection can be found here. As patrons come back for the spring semester, they will notice a lot of changes in Uris. The first shipment to Tsinghua will have happened and we are now preparing for the relocation of 100,000 volumes from Olin to the Uris stacks. This will take the whole spring semester and will begin with the A.D. White Library, which will house a “History of the Books” collection. We'll be updating both the fire safety web site and the Olin/Uris site with the specifics of what call numbers are where, we we move material.
We expect a certain amount of disruptions but we will do our best to minimize them. If you get any patron questions, please don't hesitate to direct them to any of the service desks in Olin/Uris or to me. If you yourselves have any other questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. Thanks.

Subject: Digital Images from Olin Map Collection in Luna
Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to announce that we have successfully completed phase one of a joint project between the Maps Unit of Research and Learning Services, Olin & Uris Libraries, and DLIT. The project was started a little less than a year ago and aimed to create a repository of map images from the Map collection available through Luna. The goal was to provide the collection with a strong online presence in order to fulfill our charge of providing timely service and transparent access to our resources. We also wanted to further improve the access by providing a direct link from the Voyager catalog record to an individual image in Luna, and map the data from the MARC record into the Luna table structure, based on the David Rumsey Collection experience. On January 15 this year the first 155 images were moved into production. What you will see if you log on into Luna consists of digitally reproduced images of paper maps from the Map Collection. Included are maps from locations around the world, ranging in date from the nineteenth century to the present. All of the images are in the public domain. The linking to the item level records in Voyager is pending, and when completed, it will additionally enhance patrons’ access. Finally, this is an ongoing project, and new images will be added to the collection on a regular basis.
The success of the project would have been impossible without the hard work and invaluable contribution from the team from DLIT: Danielle Mericle, Production Coordinator (Digital Media Group, DCAPS), who was the project leader; Mira Basara, Digital Imaging Specialist (DMG), who uploaded the images and worked very hard on cleaning them up; and Rhea Garen, Digital Photographer (DMG), who advised us on image quality. I would like to extend my thanks especially to Liz Muller, Metadata Librarian, who provided all the metadata extraction. Thanks to Surinder Ghangas from DLIT, who moved the collection into production; and of course, to Bob Kibbee, who started the project on the Maps side before he retired, and to Kavitha Ready, Library Fellow (who is no longer in the CUL system), who was the project’s operation manager as part of her internship with DLIT.

Subject: Large Scale Digitization Update
It has been several months since our last update on the large-scale digitization front so we would like to share with you the highlights from the last six months.
You can find this important update, including information on Google Books, CUL Digital Books on the Internet Archive, Print-on-Demand, and Technical Services news related to digitization, archived at Staff Web here.
Reimagining Cornell is the Web site where you can find important information about the university's future. It archives the president's statements and forums, and Chronicle articles about current efforts to balance the budget and create a stronger university in the years to come. It allows folks to weigh in through a Suggestion Box and also has links to Budget Communications, Task Forces, Teams, and Timelines.
Good-bye and good luck to the following folks who recently left the Library: Rachel McCarthy, Library Alumni Affairs and Development; Ecaterina Petrina, CLO Acquisitions; Virgilio Pinto, Fine Arts; and Jacie Spoon, Adelson Library.
Rachel McCarthy, Library Alumni Affairs and Development
Please join us in 702 Olin Library at 2 p.m. on Friday, January 22 for a farewell celebration for Rachel McCarthy. Refreshments will be available. Please join us as we wish Rachel best wishes in her new position.
It is with great regret that I announce the departure of Rachel McCarthy, Development Assistant for Library Alumni Affairs. She was offered a tremendous opportunity to serve as Northeast Plant Diagnostic Network (NEPDN) Education and Training Coordinator in the department of Plant Pathology and Microbe Biology. This position is more in line with Rachel’s education with both a BS and MPS from CALS. Rachel been a tremendous asset to LAAD and will be greatly missed. She helped with all of the planning of the Library Salons, Library Advisory Council meetings and stewardship of Library donors. We do wish her best in her new endeavor. Her last day with us will be Friday, January 22. (Jennifer Sawyer)
Jacalyn Spoon, Adelson Library
Jacie Spoon has accepted a full time position with the Administrative Services Quarterly, a journal based in the Johnson School. She will be starting her new job on February 3rd.
I would like to congratulate her on her new position and express our appreciation for all her work in establishing many of the services and programming at Adelson since it opened in 2003. In addition to her efforts at the Lab of Ornithology and within CUL, she was active in SLA and the Upstate New York Science Librarians. Adelson’s hours of operation are being reduced and will be announced soon. A goodbye party will be held in Jacie’s honor at the Lab at 3pm on Tuesday, February 2nd. You are invited to join others at the Lab of O in thanking her and wishing her the best in her new adventure. (Marty Schlabach; photograph by Cynthia Lange)
