In 1913 he had joined the New York Public Library, and had expected to work there until retirement. One day early in 1936, however, he was summoned to the office of his superior, Harry Miller Lydenberg, and there introduced to James Bryant Conant, the President of Harvard, who was in New York to discuss with Mr. Lydenberg a candidate to be Librarian of Harvard College, a position that was expected to lead to that of Director of the University Library.

  • The Separate Undergraduate Library
    ELIZABETH MILLS The Separate Undergraduate Library A new phenomenon came into being in 1949 with the opening of the first separate library for undergraduates in a university.

It analyzes three of them—Lamont, Michigan, and UCLA—in some detail, and speculates as to their future.

  • Harvard Library's Digital Strategy
    MEETING OF THE OVERSEERS' COMMITTEE TO VISIT THE HARVARD LIBRARY MARCH 21–22, 2017 Tuesday, 10:15 am–11:45 am: Harvard Library’s Digital Strategy Version 1.0 DIGITAL STRATEGY Harvard Library Digital Strategy, Version 1.0* Author: Suzanne L. Wones, director of library digital strategies and innovations at Harvard Library First and foremost, Harvard Library is a digital library. The vast majority of our users interact with us by accessing our services and collections electronically, no matter how amazing our print and other physical holdings may be. As Deanna Marcum observed in her recent issue brief on library leadership, “what users primarily seek from libraries are the digital resources that they can have access Harvard to from anywhere they happen to be.”1 At Harvard we can see Library is a that impact by comparing circulation numbers of print pub- lications vs. the number of times users access e-resources. In digital library. FY 15 we had 629,717 loans of physical items for the entire year. In comparison, users accessed our e-resources via the EzProxy 6,105,747 times in just one month, November 2015. We need to balance our services and workloads to support this reality and to ensure we con- tinue to add value to Harvard University and our community of scholars as a digital library. The Harvard Library is fortunate in many ways; we have the support of University leadership, the respect and affection of faculty and students, and a history of champions who have invested in the library’s future throughout our past.

  • Dancing Archives – Archive Dances Exploring Dance Histories at the Radcliffe College Archives
    From: Thom Hecht Dancing Archives – Archive Dances Exploring Dance Histories at the Radcliffe College Archives August 2013, 208 p., 32,80 €, ISBN 978-3-8376-2479-3 This book presents the first in-depth archival exploration of a lost history of dance as an extracurricular activity at Radcliffe College, the women’s liberal arts college of Har- vard University, during the first half of twentieth century. Using archival story-ing, an innovative methodology that brings the researcher’s lived experience at the Radcliffe College Archives into the historical discourse, three archive stories were created. These vivid narratives thrive in the researcher’s personal encounters with the surroundings of the archive and the interpretation and reading of what is to be found giving pro- found insights into what it means to walk in the footsteps of Radcliffe dance history. Thom Hecht received a Ph.D. in Dance from Texas Woman’s University and held an appointment as Visiting Fellow at Harvard University (2010-2012).
