Naomi Williamson and
Maryann Fox-LaRue take a
break from sorting books
returned at the end of the
semester. During the 1990s,
when the library was
located in Ward Edwards,
the Circulation/ Reserves
department had two fulltime staff and 30 student
workers. Circulation kept
them
on
their
toes
managing the constant
flow of books and helping
fulfill patrons’ various
information needs. 
After an impressive 41year-long career in the
library world, Naomi
Williamson retired from
full-time employment on
July 1, 2013. Her long
association
with
the
University of Central
Missouri began when she
started college at Central
Missouri State College in
the fall of 1968.
She
graduated in November
of 1971 and “walked” at
graduation in May, 1972.
Naomi recalls that, due to
the institutional name
change
to
Central
Missouri
State
University, she received
two diplomas for the
same degree—one with
each name. Years later, of
course, she saw the
university’s name change
a third time.
In February, 1972, Naomi
began working at Ward
Edwards Library as a fulltime, temporary worker;
her first job was typing
catalog cards. In April,
the
position
was
reclassified
as
a
permanent
library
assistant position, making
April 24 her anniversary
date. After working in the
library’s
Self-Instruction
Center for several months
in 1973, Naomi began a
position that divided her
days between the Science
Library
and
the
Humanities Library. (At
that time, the library
included several disciplinespecific subject libraries.)
After two and a half years,
Naomi
became
the
Circulation
Supervisor,
where she worked for
almost 23 years.

t’s about resources. We live in a wonderful time for the ready
availability of information resources. The internet and the ability
to “Google” any topic has become standard information-seeking
behavior, and libraries provide better access than ever before to
authoritative, scholarly information. The Kirkpatrick Library offers
traditional books and other print materials, while also providing a
growing number of electronic resources such as e-books, streaming
video collections, and nearly 200 databases.
The world of shared resources will soon expand even more for Missouri
users of MOBIUS libraries. MOBIUS, Missouri’s library consortium, is
now comprised of 70 members, including 61 academic libraries, four
public libraries, two special libraries, the Missouri State Library, and two
Associate Members. Users may make direct online requests to borrow
MOBIUS materials. The purpose of MOBIUS is to share library
materials, information, and services using accessible, cost-effective
methods. Later this year, MOBIUS will join with Prospector, the master
catalog of the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries, that includes 40
academic and public libraries in Colorado and Wyoming. The joint effort
will allow both Prospector and MOBIUS patrons to find and request
materials from an even larger collection.
This interlibrary cooperation is a wonderful example of how Kirkpatrick
Library is working with other libraries in Missouri and beyond our
borders to ensure that students, faculty, and staff have ready access to a
rich array of information resources. Consult with the friendly staff in the
Interlibrary Loan office or at the second floor Reference Center to learn
how you can take advantage of these resources. 
UCM Gov Docs Celebrates 100th Anniversary
This year the UCM Government
Documents Department
celebrates its 100 year
anniversary. In 1914, the
Government
Printing
Office designated the
State Normal School at
Warrensburg as a Federal
Depository
for
U.S.
government publications.
Since that time the library
has upheld its charge as
part of the Federal
Depository Library Program (FDLP).
All FDLP libraries must ensure that
the American public has
free access to
the
materials disseminated to
them. From print to
electronic
publications,
government
documents
can be discovered through
Quest, the library catalog.
The UCM Government
Documents Department
continues to be committed
to providing access to
government information. 
Mango Languages
and OverDrive
Add Unique
Resources to
JCKL Databases
The James C. Kirkpatrick Library
continues to expand its online
resources with two relatively new
databases which provide library
patrons with unique online materials.
First,
Mango
Languages
offers
language learning courses for English
and non-English speakers. Sixty-one
foreign
language
courses
are
available for English speakers, and
seventeen English courses for nonEnglish speakers are available in this
database. The conversation-based
courses provide an introduction to
the different languages. Mango
Languages also includes a translator
and full-length movies to help
immerse the viewer in the target
language.
Next, OverDrive@UCM utilizes the
OverDrive
database to provide
downloadable e-books and audio
books to a variety of mobile devices.
The
OverDrive
selections
are
generally popular titles, although
some academic books are also
available. Patrons can download
content to Kindles, iPads, laptops,
desktops,
and
smartphones.
Additional apps are required to
properly view or listen to OverDrive
material, so a visit to the Help page
on the website is a good idea. The
library purchases material from the
OverDrive online catalog. Patrons can
access
the
entire
catalog
to
recommend future purchases. 

Library Quality Survey Rankings and Results Available Online
The administration and faculty of the
James C. Kirkpatrick Library (JCKL)
desired to participate in a nationally
developed survey for many years. In
FY2013 we were able to employ the
services of LibQual+ which is a suite
of services offered to library
communities by the Association of
Research Libraries (ARL).
LibQual+ was initiated in 2000 as an
experimental
project
for
benchmarking perceptions of library
service quality across 13 ARL
libraries. Since 2000, more than 1,000
libraries in over 28 countries have
participated in LibQual+ including
college and university libraries,
community college libraries, health
science libraries, academic law
libraries, and public libraries.
The
survey
measured
three
dimensions of perceived library
service
quality:
"Information
Control” (whether users are able to
find information in the library, in
formats of their choosing), "Affect of
Service" (user interactions with,
helpfulness, and competency of
library employees), and "Library as
Place"
(physical
environment).
Respondents were asked to rank
their perceptions of service in each
of these dimensions by indicating the
minimal level of acceptable service,
their desired level of service, and
their perceived service level at JCKL.
The results of these rankings
provided a range of expected service
levels and where JCKL ranked in
comparison to this range.
The survey was open to the campus
for three weeks beginning February
18, 2013. Overall, the 575 valid
responses ranked JCKL within stated
levels of expectations. The full report,
including detailed charts, can be
viewed at: http://library.ucmo.edu/
surveyresultsnotebook2013.pdf. 
Williamson Retires (…cont. from page 1)
associated
with
the
library’s
Children’s Literature Festival, which
Ophelia Gilbert and Phil Sadler began
in 1969. She first served as an event
volunteer in 1980 and was an integral
part of its success from then on.
Naomi became the Festival Director
in 1999 and continues to serve in that
role.
She considers her biggest
professional accomplishment to be
the ongoing success of the Children’s
Literature Festival. In March 2014,
the 46th Children’s Literature Festival
was held on campus, with 4,500
children and adults in attendance.
Naomi witnessed first-hand the huge
technological changes of the library
world over the last few decades. She
was
heavily
involved
with
automating the library’s circulation
functions and remembers that the
library’s first system was one that had
been used at Charles County
Community College in Maryland. On
January 2, 1980, the library’s
circulation
department
went
“online.”
With the purchase of
NOTIS in 1985, other library units
followed. In addition to circulation
and catalog automation, Naomi also
saw the advent of CD-ROMs,
electronic library databases, and
ebooks.
Moving from Ward Edwards
Library to the James C. Kirkpatrick
Library was another big change, and
Naomi was instrumental in the
planning
and
implementation
processes. The library move took
place in March of 1999; in September
of that year, Naomi was selected to
serve as the library’s Special
Collections Curator/ Director of
Children’s Literature Festival, a
position she held until her
retirement in 2013.
During Naomi’s long tenure, she
worked in many areas of the library,
served under five library directors
or deans, and earned two degrees.
She credits Aileen Helmick, chair of
the Library Science Department from
1978 to 1997, with encouraging her to
complete both of the degrees she
earned after beginning employment
at the university.
In 2013, several authors affiliated
with the Children’s Literature
Festival nominated Naomi for the
Missouri Humanities Award in the
Exemplary Community Achievement
category. This award celebrates “the
accomplishments of those who have
made exceptional contributions to
our understanding of Missouri, its
people and its stories.” At the time of
her retirement, it was announced that
Naomi was a 2014 award winner.
Naomi continues to work part-time,
overseeing the Children’s Literature
Festival, teaching children’s literature
classes, and working with Special
Collections. She looks forward to
spending more time with her
husband, two children, and two
grandchildren. 

Organizational Changes
The James C. Kirkpatrick Library’s dedicated
technical support was officially transferred to the
university’s Office of Technology in FY2013. The
migration began with the transfer of the library’s
personnel: Tom Massia, Linwood Mason, and Sudan
Bhattarai. The library’s old domain was retired when
the servers and other equipment were transferred in
FY2014.
In July 2013 the Department of Academic
Enrichment and Library Services joined, creating a
new unit with two distinct entities. 
InfoOne Now Online!
With this issue, the James
C. Kirkpatrick Library’s
InfoOne newsletter is now
published solely online.

Chapter Turns New Page at JCKLibrary
Established in 1993, the
Missouri Center for the
Book (MCB) strives “to
bring the words and ideas
of books into the thoughts
and lives of Missourians.”
MCB fulfills its mission
statement chiefly through
three
main
parts:
advocating
for
the
importance of books and of
reading
to
Missouri
residents; celebrating the
literary
heritage
of
Missouri; and recognizing
the many contributions and
achievements of all those
involved in Missouri’s
literary community, from
authors and illustrators, to
publishers and sellers, to
librarians
and
literacy
advocates.
Originally supported by
the Missouri State Library,
the MCB is now a separate
entity with three chapters
located at the St. Louis
Mercantile
Library,
Missouri State University
Meyer Library, and the
JCKLibrary. The MCB’s
Missouri
Author
Collection was recently
moved from the Missouri
State Library to the
JCKLibrary, which, as the
Central Chapter of the
MCB, will house this
collection of between 800
and 900 books penned by
Missouri authors.
JCKLibrary hosted the
annual
Letters
about
Literature
state
level
contest
and
awards
reception this past Spring
semester. Winners were
selected in each of the
three levels at the state
contest and advanced to
the
national
contest,
sponsored by the Center
for the Book in the
Library of Congress and
held in Washington, D.C.
In unprecedented results,
Missouri students were
selected
as
national
winners in Levels I and
III, each winning awards
of $1000.

Community Emergency Response Team Training
Trainees participated in a
variety of exercises during the
three- day long Community
Emergency Response Team
training. Participants from the
UCM community are now
equipped to respond to

From Pooches to Primal Screams, Students Enjoy Stress Buster Days
massages
by
professional
therapists located in the library’s
Performance Corner. Those who
needed more stress relief — or just
happened to love dogs — returned
to the Performance Corner on
Monday to pet special comfort
dogs. While massages and petting
the pooches was fine for some,
others needed to vent their stress

Finals week. What comes to mind?
Many would say studying, stress,
and an insatiable need to cope with

students were treated to chair
On Tuesday night, students got in
touch with their primitive sides by
taking part in the library’s Primal
Scream. The screams, which lasted
for one minute, registered at 113
decibels. They were so loud that
the library was tagged as the
“Arrowhead
Stadium
of
Libraries!” 
