The SCHOOL of INFORMATION and LIBRARY SCIENCE@ • TheCarolina UNIVERSITY of NORTH CAROLINA at CHAPEL HILL Winter 2007 http://sils.unc.edu Number 70 Snapshots from SILS’ 75th Anniversary
Looking back on a year of celebrations The School of Information and Library Sci- ence wrapped up its 75th Anniversary celebra- tions with a grand finale on Sept. 17. The finale closed a year of activities celebrating the School’s past and looking ahead to its future. Highlights from those celebrations include (clockwise from top): president of the Carnegie Corporation Vartan Gregorian’s keynote at the finale, five past and present deans of the School opening the celebrations with a cake cutting, a presentation of student research in connec- tion with the kickoff of the anniversary (which fostered many discussions, like the one here between recent doctoral graduate John McMullen and professor Gary Marchionini), a performance of the Tar Heel voices at the finale, some of the first SILS alumni returning to campus to celebrate the anniversary and a year of thought-provoking events, speakers and presentations. 2 Dean’s Message

After all, her parents were global travelers and her father ran a hospital ship called Project Hope in the 70s that sailed from San Francisco to Tunisia and other parts of Indonesia. But it wasn’t until she adopted her two sons, Solomon and Fiseha from Ethiopia that Joan became increasingly interested in northeastern Africa—especially the areas around the Nile River. Last spring, a position for an instruction and reference librarian was posted for the American University in Cairo (AUC). Joan applied. When the job was offered, she was in the middle of processing adop- tion paperwork, and decided to “go for it.” She and her husband, Kurt, moved to Cairo, Egypt. Joan says that the library at AUC runs much like a typical American Joan Petit and son Solomon (right), and husband Kurt with son academic library. “I teach two sections of LALT 101, the required in- Fiseha (left), explore the pyramids in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. formation literacy course,” said Joan. “I work at the reference desk.
