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.
