See Springtime Showcase continued on page 9 PAGE 2 LIBRARY LINES Message from the Dean of Library Services Springtime is always exciting at the Sampson-Livermore Library, and spring 2006 is no exception. At this writing, students are preparing major semester papers and projects and looking forward to Spring Break, some also to commencement in May. National Library Week always comes in April and our library is pleased to observe this annual opportunity to focus attention on the value of libraries in the American society and to this campus in particular. Friends of the Library Boord of Directors members and library staff are preparing for another exciting benefit event, this year planned for April 21 and called "A Springtime Showcase @ the Library!" I am very grateful for the volunteers who serve on our Board of Directors as well as a dedicated staff who believe in the value of the mission of the Sampson-Livermore Library. We members of the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Library and the staff of the Sampson-Livermore Library invite you to catch spring fever and join us in the special events planned for spring 2006. Elinor Folger Foster Dean of Library Services Photo by Bobby Ayers •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Intellectual Freedom Is a Core Value Message from the FOL President Since the beginning of our human historical record, people have been vilified, ostracized, and crucified for what they have expressed in writing. Across the broad span of human history, books have been challenged, censored, and banned more than any other mass medium . Many reasons have been put forth for banning books: the publication of political or sexual expression and the use of language offensive to another's race, ethnicity, culture, gender, sexuality, or religion. Materials considered by some to be heretical, blasphemous, seditious, or obscene often are censored or banned. For example, during discussions about censorship, today's students usually find it odd that somewhere in America the children's folktale Little Red Riding Hood has been a banned Dr. Anthony R. Curtis FOL President Photo by Bobby Ayers book. Check out Banned Books Online at http://digital.library.upenn.edu/books/banned-books.html. There you'll find that an illustrated edition of Little Red Riding Hood was banned from two California school districts in 1989 because the book showed the heroine taking food and wine to her grandmother. The schools were concerned about the use of alcohol. Other banned books include, to name but a very few, Twain's Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, Eliot's Silas Marner, Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Shakespeare's Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear. Twelfth Night, and The Merchant of Venice . PAGE 3 LIBRARY LINES Generally, those who want to ban certain books think of themselves as sincere, concerned individuals who want to raise moral values, improve society, and protect children and others from exposure to information deemed dangerous. Fortunately for those who disagree with their characterizations, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution gives each of us the right to read, view, listen to, and disseminate constitutionally protected ideas, no matter how offensive others may judge them to be. We're faced with this conundrum: When would-be censors express their opinions, they are exercising the same rights others protect as they confront censorship. When WOUld-be censors make their criticisms known, they are exercising the same rights as those who created and disseminated the material to which they object. Their right to voice opinions and try to persuade others to adopt those opinions is protected just as the rights of disseminators of information are protected. What should we do? Uphold the intell~ctual freedom to hold, receive, and disseminate ideas . Make sure that every individual can seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction. Provide free access to all expressions of ideas through which all sides of a question may be explored. I'm reminded that U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas more than 50 years ago said, "Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us." After all, intellectual freedom is the heart of our democratic system To self-govern responsibly, we must be well-informed. Libraries, like our own Sampson-Livermore Library, provide the ideas and information we need to learn and inform ourselves. President John F. Kennedy said, "Liberty without learning is always in peril and learning without liberty is always in vain ." For their contributions to my understanding of contemporary elements of this issue, I'm grateful to the American Library Association, the Loyola University Chicago Libraries, the University of Pennsylvania, Fordham University, the Media Coalition Inc., the Internet Public Library, Neiman Reporls, and a variety of other sources. - Tony Curlis NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK April 2-8, 2006 Change Your World @ Your Library April 3, 2006 Friends of the Library Book Sale, 9:00 a.m .-7:00 p.m. [FOL Members Only] April 4, 2006 Friends of the Library Book Sale, 9:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. April 5, 2006 Friends of the Library Book Sale, 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. Poetry/Short Prose/Campus Authors Reading and Reception, 3:30 p.m. April 6, 2006 Friends of the Library Book Sale, 9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. April 7, 2006 Friends of the Library Book Sale, 9:00 a.m .-5:00 p.m. PAGE 4 LIBRARY LINES Sampson-Livermore Library Management Restructured by Anne H. Coleman Recently there has been a reorganization in the structure of the management of the Sampson-Livermore Library. Upon the recommendation of Provost Charles Harrington, which was subsequently approved by Chancellor Allen Meadors, Dr. Elinor Foster's title was changed from University Librarian to Dean of Library Services, effective January 1, 2006. Dr. Foster earned a Master in Library Science and a Doctorate in Education in higher education administration from UNC Greensboro. Her undergraduate degree, in English , was received from Wake Forest University. She has worked in the public schools, community colleges, and universities, so she has had experience in a numuer of academic and library settings. She directed the Sampson-Livermore Library from 1989-1993 and returned in 1999 to the University after a five-year stint as Library Director at the University of Texas-Pan American . Effective February 14, 2006, twoAssistant Deans were appointed to assist the management team of the UNCP library. Dr. Foster requested the addition of Assistant Deans to the organizational structure of Sampson-Livermore Library because as the library staff grew in numbers she saw a need to provide more direct administrative guidance and contact opportunities for librarians other than from herself. The number of staff librarians has grown from eight in 1999 to the current 13 positions (including Dr. Foster). The increase in the number Dr. Elinor Foster, of librarians has become necessary due to'the heightened Dean of Library Services volume of duties and responsibil ities now handled by library staff because of enrollment growth patterns, as well as the increasing complexity of library services and resources now available to library users, especially in the realm of electronic resources. Dr. Foster is quick to acknowledge that it has been gratifying that the Library has been able to add staff positions due to the enrollment growth funds that were provided to the Library, and adds that the growth pattern created a need for greater depth in the administrative leadership at the Library. Fortunately there were capable and experienced librarians already on the library staff who were willing to take on additional duties and share their expertise with their fellow librarians and library staff members. When asked to do so by Dr. Foster, following approval of the reorganization plan by Provost Harrington and Chancellor Meadors, two librarians, Cynthia E. Saylor and Susan F. Whitt, accepted new and expanded responsibilities. Under the new management organization, Cindy Saylor has been named Assistant Dean for Research Services and Cynthia E. Saylor Systems. Cindy will manage library public services and access Assistant Dean For to information resources, as well as continue to coordinate all Research electronic technologies associated with library services. Cindy Services and Systems came to UNCP in 1996 as Instructional Services/Reference Librarian and irr 2002 was named Systems Librarian, in charge of managing the Library's website and computing services. Cindy received a Master in Library and Information Studies from UNC Greensboro and a Bachelor of Arts in Education from the current University of Virginia's College of Wise. Susan Whitt has been named Assistant Dean for Collection Management and AcquiSitions. Susan will manage the growth and development of the Library's collection, including books, serials, and electronic databases. Susan came to UNCP in 1990 as theAutomated Public Services Librarian; Susan F. Whitt Assistant Dean for then she, too, spent several years in Texas, from 1994-1999, where she was a branch manager for Col/ection Management the Harris County Public Library System. In 1999, Susan retumed to UNCP as Reference/Instructional and Acquisitions Services Librarian, and in 2002 she was named Acquisitions/Collection Development Librarian. Susan is a graduate of UNC Greensboro and received a Master of Library Science from N.C. Central University and a Bachelor of Arts in pol~ical science from UNC Greensboro. Her prior professional experience ranges from public libraries to public school and community college libraries. Dr. Foster is confident that the new organizational structure will serve the Library well in purposefully moving forward to a dynamic and productive future. PAGE 5 LIBRARY LINES NC LIVE Makes Resource Changes by Michael Alewine and Robert Arndt NC LIVE (North Carolina Libraries In Virtual Education), the statewide educational consortium, acquired new databases and made major upgrades to existing database titles. While NC LIVE dropped some databases, the overall coverage has greatly increased with the upgrades and new acquisitions.

Business Source Premier provides coverage of other titles that were dropped by NC LIVE: ABI/lnform Archive, ABI/lnform Complete, ABI/ Inform Global, ABI/lnform Trade and Industry, and Hoovers Company Records. Access to Business Source Premier also includes access to Regional Business News, which provides the full text for over 50 regional business publications.

Special Collections Room Named for University Donor by Elinor Folger Foster A gift to the University in December 2005 from Charles and Betty Bridger of Bladen County has resulted in the naming of the Special Collections area of the Sampson-Livermore Library (Room 144) as the Betty fletcher Bridger Special Collections Room. A plaque will be placed in this room, which houses rare materials associated with the growth and development of UNC Pembroke and Robeson County throughout their commingled histories. Mrs. Bridger, a 1973 graduate of UNC Pembroke, stated in a conversation with Dr. Eljnor Foster January 30, 2006 that she deSignated the Library as the recipient of the gift she and her husband provided because "libraries are important places for learning and not everything students need to know can be obtained from computers." Furthermore, Mrs. Bridger continued, "Pembroke is so important for this area. It provides a chance for people from this area to go to school who might not otherwise have the chance to attend college." Library staff certainly appreciates the gift from Mr. and Mrs. Bridger and heartily endorses the concepts expressed by Betty Bridger in her comments about their gift to the University. Plans are to use the gift to enhance collections and scholarship opportunities, as advised by the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Library of UNC Pembroke. LIBRARY LINES PAGE 8 Sampson-Livermore Library Receives Gift from Dr. Rundus by Lillian Brewington Dr. Raymond J. Rundus, retired UNCP Professor Emeritus from the English, Theatre, and Languages Department, recently donated his personal collection used in researching Robeson County native, Joseph Mitchell.

This collection is on permanent loan and currently housed in the Sampson-Livermore Library's Special Collections area .. Dr. Rundus's longtime interest in Mr. Mitchell prompted him to write two books: I Joseph Mitchell: Pilgrim in Manhattan and Joseph Mitchell: A Reader's and Writer 's Guide. Mr. Mitchell was born in Fairmont in 1908 where he lived until his relocation to New York in 1928. He spent 58 years as a writer for The New Yorkerwhile maintaining family ties in the Robeson County area. Dr. Ray Rundus Dr. Rundus received his Ph .D. from Wayne State University.

LIBRARY LINES PAGE 9 Library Displays Highlight Material by Nickie Blanton, Robert Arndt, and Michael Alewine Waiting at the Circulation Desk to check out a book? Waiting for a friend or group to show up for a study session? Check out the displays while you wait. Sampson-Livermore Library has been developing displays at the entrance and in the main reading room to highlight and make people aware of various items in the collections. "Our goal is to get people to read, especially students. They tend to only read what is required for their courses," commented Robert Arndt, Reference/Instructional Services Librarian. "The displays, hopefully, will spark interest in students, staff, and faculty to read outside of their areas of study." The displays feature book covers, portraits of the authors, and the books themselves, as well as related media resources. The displays were created as part of a collaborative process involving several members of the library staff under the auspices of the Library's Art, Displays, and Exhibits Committee. Regular displays include those pertaining to UNCP campus authors highlighting faculty publications, National Library Week , and the works of guest authors at the Library's annual benefit and other programs sponsored by the Friends of the Library. The displays have also promoted national and regional events. For Constitution Day, in September, the Library hosted a display that looked at the national Constitution and "A Celebration of the Freedom of Speech/A Celebration of Open Political Discourse," which highlighted resources that discuss and sometimes openly criticize our leaders and our governmenta freedom that does not exist in many other parts of the world. While various academic resources were displayed , controversial authors, such as AI Franken , Rush Limbaugh, Michael Moore, and Michael Savage, were also given a prominent place. A recent display, "Banned in the USA," featured books that have been banned in various parts of the United States. The books on the list were banned for either graphic language, portrayal of minorities, religion, or sexual situations. Several of the books listed as banned are considered classics such as Of Mice and Men, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Fahrenheit 451 . Sometimes the displays highlight seasonal events. Adisplay this past summer, "Baseball: America's Game" focused on the various baseball materials in the Library's collection . Books on display included the baseball encyclopedias, history of women's baseball, the Negro leagues, minor and textile leagues, and biographies of players and managers. The display included Dr. Robert W. Reising's Jim Thorpe: Tar Heel. Dr. Reising is a retired Professor of English at UNCP. Other displays have highlighted the Library's collection of material on Native Americans, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Hollywood , and science fiction and fantasy. If you are in a quandary over what to read , check out one of the Library's displays. Suggestions for new displays are always welcome; please contact one of the authors of this article.
