A NEWSLETTER FROM THE WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY SYSTEM

REMEMBERING LOTHAR SPANG

On July 3, 2009, the Wayne State University Library System lost a wonderful librarian, valued colleague and great friend with the death of Lothar Spang. He was 66. “Lothar was the type of person that you assumed would always be there because he always was. He was a great man that will be missed but never forgotten,” said Matt Wisotsky, Help Desk supervisor at the Wayne State Libraries.

Spang earned his master’s degree in library science from the University of Michigan and held bachelor’s and postgraduate degrees in history from Wayne State University. He spent his entire career with Wayne State, starting in the early 1960s as a student assistant. He moved on to become a librarian, for which he received tenure in 1974. During his time with the libraries, Spang held many positions, including assistant to G. Flint Purdy, adjunct faculty in the School of Library and Information Science and as building director of the Purdy/ Kresge Library, among others. “Lothar was my escort when I first came to Wayne State in the 80s to interview for a librarian position,” said Librarian Nancy Wilmes. “He had a way of putting me at ease and making the interview day a relaxing and wonderful Librarian Lothar Spang passed away on July 3, 2009. experience.”

The space received a fresh coat of brightly colored paint and was divided into two areas, the LearnLab and a faculty lounge area.

The LearnLab was designed to encourage collaboration by incorporating four large tables with six chairs each. Using triangulation, three screens were placed throughout the space so that all spots in the lab have a view of the screens. With the addition of a laptop cart, instructors have an option to teach with or without computers. The Office for Teaching and Learning staff will pilot the layout and technology in the space but in the future, Wayne State instructors will be encouraged to use the space TRC LearnLab for teaching classes.

Kresge Third Floor Remodeling The entire third floor of the Kresge Library is being remodeled to create new office space for the School of Library and Information Science faculty. The new office design will create an open and collaborative environment for faculty to work with students. When the construction is complete, there will be 24 new offices, two conference rooms, a server room and a kitchenette.

UGL 2nd Floor Renovations

With the expansion of the Honors College further into the UGL’s second TRC Faculty Lounge Shiffman Medical Library opens inside Richard J. Mazurek, M.D. Medical Education Commons

After over 35 years in its previous loca- tion, the new Shiffman Medical Library opened in May inside the Richard J. Mazurek, M.D. Medical Education Commons. The new library is 34,300 square feet and optimized for wireless mobile technologies. The building has an instruction lab and 13 group study rooms as well as 20 desktop stations for student use. Motion-activated compact shelving allows for easy retrieval of books while leaving more open space for study areas, as well as conserving energy.

Aligning with Wayne State’s Living Green Initiative, the Education Commons received a high Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating. The LEED rating system encourages and accelerates global adoption of sustain- able green building and development practices through the creation and implementation of universally under- stood and accepted tools and perfor- mance criteria. The new construction reused building materials from previ- ous renovations wherever possible and recycled minimal waste in envi- ronmentally responsible ways.

LIBRARIES LOSE LONGTIME STAFF MEMBER, SU Bardeleben Written by Diane Paldan and Kim Bursick

When we lost Su Bardeleben at the end of August, we lost a kind and supportive friend and colleague. Su was dedicated to her family, her friends, and this institution.

Su first worked for Wayne State University in the 60s, left to work at the VA hospital and later returned to Wayne, working at Science and Engineering since the 80s. Su was a curious person and a forward thinker. She was always eager to test and embrace new technologies. She loved learning new things and was one of the first staff involved in exploring online options for journals – searching sites and printing out licenses. The move to electronic fascinated her.

She cared for her mother for decades and those of us who knew the situation realized what a physical and mental challenge that was. Su also struggled with her own illnesses for over a decade, determined to remain a breaks or lunch, reading her books productive part of the Library System. and smoking, indulging in what she referred to as her “evil deed.” Throughout these personal challenges, Su always met life with her sense of Su’s family suggested that donations humor intact.
