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.

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.

DO NOT DELETE 4/12/2010 2:52 PM Michael Goldsmith Frederick Mark Gedicks The most fitting way to begin an essay in memory of Michael Goldsmith would be to tell one of his jokes, because Michael had a terrific sense of humor. The trouble is that, as I thought of all of the jokes that Michael had told me over the many years that we knew each other, I couldn’t actually remember one that I could safely tell in public, let alone in print. He did send a lot of them through his BYU Law School email account, however, so it makes me smile to think that somewhere in the vast reaches of the BYU server, these jokes are sitting there, like time bombs waiting to go off, which is its own kind of joke. The first and by far the most important thing to remember about Michael was his love and care for his family. Two of his sisters spoke at the funeral service in Albany, and it was immediately evident how much they loved their brother, and how good he had been to them and to their mother.
