A library is not static. Even over the summer, the work of scholars and students never ceases, and library buildings and computers remain in heavy use. Along with the nonstop drumbeat of research requests from the campus community, our librarians and staff pursue a variety of proj- Andrew Campbell Andrew ects as they prepare for another autumn surge and academic year with new resources, workshops, and special events. The summer of 2015 marked the culmination of a set of excit- ing changes, any one of which would have been big on its own. Taken together, they ensure it will be a summer to remember. The most important in terms of impact on our users was a major, once-in-a-generation digital systems migration. The new system, known as Alma, forms the backbone of our entire catalog and search software, so the change has ramifications for the whole library system. Alma, which patrons don’t see, joins NUsearch, the part of the catalog you do see. NUsearch debuted last fall as the tool for online browsing. On top of an updated bibliographic database, our search capabilities are now more robust than ever. And Alma modernizes our operations—for at least another 20 years. Of course, a technical revamp of this scope can only be accomplished with excellent teamwork and coordination. Even though detailed planning began more than two years ago, I braced for a certain number of hitches, as with any major undertaking. Yet few occurred; I’m proud to say that the Alma implementation came about so smoothly, a casual observer could almost wonder what the big fuss was about. It’s rare to make a transition of this size, and rarer still to accomplish it so seamlessly! In addition, our staff completed an ambitious internal restructuring of our entire organization. Our leadership team and their respective groups have rethought all roles, processes, and clustering of their work, from top to bottom, to ensure we stay responsive in an era of change for higher education everywhere. I am humbled and impressed by the diversity of skills and the energy of so many people in our organization as well as by the leadership at all levels. It’s our hope that while the staffing shifts are invisible to the outside, they also result in the delivery of better, more effective service that is aligned with the strategic priorities of

the3 University. Lastly, you may have noticed a subtle change on the cover of this issue: Our official name has changed from singular to plural. We’ve long felt that “Northwestern University Libraries” more accurately expresses our multifocal nature. University Library is the 1970s structure in the center of the Evanston campus, while Northwestern Libraries encompasses the system of buildings, branches, services, and resources available every- where there is a Northwestern. Though these large changes have come to fruition, we can never say we’re at rest. We are an organiza- tion positioning itself for the future, and new horizons stretch before us.

They appeared on an annual creation known informally as the “selector’s the divergent wish list,” which represents subject specialists brainstorming their ideal acquisitions beyond what their regular budgets can afford. worlds served “When we put out the call to selectors, many requests come back for digital resources and databases, but also for unique items,” said D. J. Hoek, associate University librarian of by the modern collections strategies. “The list is a broad reflection of the range of materials we acquire.” academic library Wish list purchases are made possible by donations to the Annual Fund without a specific use requested. Librarians present the Board of Governors with the list each year to inform them of the library’s special purchases and get them involved, Hoek said. This year’s list included the following two strange bedfellows that reflect the wide-ranging needs of faculty and students—and the importance of having a library that can meet those needs.

The Discipline of Divine Love “Look at this provenance,” said Hoek, excitedly gesturing at a list of names and dates. “This is what you call atypical.” Atypical, explained Hoek, because for all of its existence, this manuscript copy of Le livre nommé la discipline d’amour divine (The Discipline of Divine Love), one of only two known from the 15th century, has been in private hands, far from public view. Its provenance—the record of an object’s owners over time—begins in the Middle Ages and names a handful of private book collectors. But now this copy of The Discipline of Divine Love (shown above) lives at Northwestern, available for scholarly study for the first time in its history. Its unexpected availability in a book dealer’s catalog and its uniqueness sent it to the top of the 2015 wish list. Northwestern librarians urgently wanted to acquire the rare gem before it could go back into private vaults.

98613.indd 4 11/19/15 8:47 PM A mystical theological treatise about achieving union with God, Discipline excited the Northwestern faculty most likely to make use of it. Medieval history expert Robert Lerner, Weinberg College’s Peter B. Ritzma Professor in the Humanities, brought it to the attention of Scott Krafft, curator of the Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections. “This manuscript is important enough that it will continue to be cited,” Lerner wrote to Krafft at the time. “Being identified as a Northwestern manuscript, it will provide important support for our long-standing identity as a center for the study of medieval culture.” Krafft said acquiring the manuscript builds upon the library’s strengths while respond- ing to the requests from faculty who make use of its holdings. “Special Collections accommodates the particular needs of specific users,” Krafft said.

Every special collection at Northwestern has room for whimsy and the unexpected. Over time, the Transportation Library has been the happy recipient of toys and curios, said head curator Roberto Sarmiento. Among the library’s 500,000 items supporting the study of air, rail, highway, and water transportation are the following hold- ings that wander into untraditional territory.

Handcarved wooden buses. Lifelong transportation enthusiast and former bus industry executive William Luke, who founded BUSRide magazine in 1965, has donated thousands of items from his personal collection of industry-related materials. Since the first donation in 2012, the Luke Transportation Collection has grown to include local transit maps, transit tickets, timetables, and realia like these colorful toys, complete with working wheels and smooth rolling action.

Chicago police doll. Equipped with truncheon, sidearm, handcuffs, and iconic checkered hat, this policewoman came to the collection through an unknown donor, Sarmiento said, most likely a law enforcement officer taking one of the many Northwestern Center for Public Safety classes that draw on the library. The Transportation Library maintains significant holdings specific to law enforcement and police management.

United Airlines playset. This 25-piece licensed playset, made of plastic and die-cast metal, represents one way the company has marketed itself since the turn of the century, Sarmiento said.

Folding picture book. Made of thick board-backed pages held together by canvas cloth, this 1945 book unfolds to a 10-foot panorama. Sarmiento acquired it from a dealer who knew Sarmiento sought representations of the transportation industry in any medium.

Meet Elsa Alvaro, librarian for the class of 2019

When Northwestern students are told, “We have a librarian for you,” it’s not an overstatement; every class and every major has an assigned librarian familiar with its needs. There are also librarians dedicated to entire class years. For first- year students—the class of 2019—it’s Elsa Alvaro. “I’m a friendly face for new students,“ Alvaro said. “The class librarian can help new students navigate library resources, connect them with subject specialists, and answer any question about the library.” Alvaro is also the dedicated librarian for chemistry, physics, and astronomy. She received a PhD in organic chemistry from the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. She enjoyed scholarly communication so much that she added a library science degree from Indiana University. “The class librarian is especially important for students who are undecided about a major,” Alvaro said. “We want them to know that we have them covered and that there is someone in the library dedicated to them.”
