Powell, Cornell University Jill Powell is Engineering Librarian at Cornell University and manages the budget for collections. She has a B.A. from Cornell and an MLS from Syracuse University. Active in the Engineering Libraries Division of the American Society for Engineering Education, she has served as Program and Division Chair. She is the library liaison to these departments: biomedical engineering, electrical and computer engineering, and mechanical and aerospace engineering. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 Celebrating Engineering Librarianship: 130 Years of Cornell University Engineering Libraries, 1887-2017 Celebrating Engineering Librarianship: 130 Years of Cornell University Engineering Libraries, 1887-2017 Introduction The changing nature of engineering libraries and the engineering library profession has evolved significantly over 130 years at Cornell University. While the current physical building hasn’t changed much on the outside since its founding in 1957, much has changed on the inside – influenced by many things, such as the predominance of digital information, computers, financial downturns, the serials crisis, and student protests. Students occupied the building for 5 days in 1972. Research from archival photographs and early college publications help describe the activities of the earliest engineering librarians and various buildings from 1887 to the present. This article will trace the founding of the Engineering Library in Sibley Hall, the development of other small departmental libraries, the move to a newly built Carpenter Hall where the new engineering quad was being developed, and describe the accomplishments and changes to the libraries by the engineering library directors from 1897 to 2017.

  • Memorial Statements
    MEMORIAL STATEMENTS Cornell University Faculty 2019-2020 Office of the Dean of Faculty Ithaca, New York Editor Carrie Shugarts Copy Editor Jill Short 1 Preface The University Faculty has always followed the practice of including within the faculty records a memorial resolution on the death of one of its members. The faculty modified this custom that was begun in the earliest days of Cornell University in 1938 as follows: Upon the death of a member of the University Faculty, the President or Dean of Faculty shall formally notify the Faculty at the next meeting and those present shall rise in respect for the memory of the deceased member. The Provost shall then appoint a committee to prepare an appropriate memorial statement. Such statements shall not be presented in the form of resolutions, as in the past, but shall be annually collected, edited, and printed by the University in a memorial booklet, which shall be sent to members of the Faculty, to the families of the deceased members, and shall be filed with University records. This booklet, prepared by the Office of the Dean of the University Faculty, contains articles in memory of those twenty-five University Faculty members whose deaths were reported in the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. The names of the committee members who prepared the statements are given at the end of each article. 2 Richard J. Archer June 8, 1948 – September 14, 2019 Professor Richard J. Archer was born on June 8, 1948 and died September 14, 2019 following a battle with cancer.
