elebrating anniversaries is such an important part of our culture because they underscore the value we place on heritage and tradition. Anniversaries speak to our impulse to acknowledge the things that endure. Few places embody those acknowledgements more than a library—the keeper of things that endure. As the official custodian of the University’s history and the keeper of scholarly records, no other entity on campus is more immersed in the history of Ohio University than the Libraries.

This year marks the 200th anniversary of Ohio University Libraries. It was on June 15, 1814 that the Board of Trustees first named their collection of books the “Library of Ohio University,” codified a list of seven rules for its use, and later appointed the first librarian.

In the 200 years since its founding, Ohio University Libraries is now ranked as one of the top 100 research libraries in North America with print collections of over 3 million volumes and, ranked by holdings, is the 65th largest library in North America. It’s an extraordinary accomplishment achieved by generations of librarians, faculty, administrators, staff and donors.

Finding Parallels in the Fading Ink

By Jen Doyle

I

magine a hospital full of patients cared for by an educated staff using state-of-the-art medical technology.

Now, imagine those same patients in a hospital in 16th century Spain. Doctors use stethoscopes, rudimentary surgical tools, and poultices of fat and dung to care for them in facilities that lack an ounce of antibacterial soap.

You might expect a few medical malpractice suits.

Enter Dr. Michele Clouse, associate professor of history, and Hannah Abrahamson, Honors Tutorial Spanish senior, winners of the Honors Tutorial College Apprenticeship sponsored by

2

the Ohio University Libraries’ Dr. Vernon R. and Marion Alden fund.

They are using the apprenticeship funding to analyze historical malpractice suits— specifically, over 100 microfilm canisters of Spanish medical malpractice criminal cases spanning the 15th to 17th centuries. Several hundred cases are represented in Clouse’s personal collection, and according to Clouse, a medical history specialist, they have never been documented for academic study.

Working with primary source material like Clouse’s collection is an invaluable learning experience, said Scott Seaman, dean of University Libraries.

“Aside from cloning myself, I cannot imagine anyone more qualified,” she said. Abrahamson has experience working in colonial Latin American archives in Mexico and is able to read some of the basic paleography—which, as the photo may indicate, is no small feat.

Abrahamson is thrilled to have been chosen as Clouse’s apprentice, and is especially interested in learning more about early modern Spain because of its impact on colonial Latin America, her area of study.

Clouse is equally thrilled to have her.

“Reading the paleography is tough,” Abrahamson said. “A lot of the words are rather ‘loopy’ or convoluted, and words written in ink fade over the course of 500 years.”

Tyler Stabile

“Through the Vernon R. & Marion Alden Library endowment, and in partnership with the Honors Tutorial College, the University Libraries has been able to fund a number of undergraduate research experiences that emphasize just that kind of research,” he said.

The 16th century Spanish document, “Archivo de la Chancilleria Real de Valladolid Seccion de Reales Ejectuorias 845-7,” details a malpractice suit brought against a barber-surgeon in the city of Valladolid in 1542.

She expects the handwriting to be one of the most challenging components of the project.

Fortunately, the Libraries can be of some help.

“The microfilm readers we have are so fabulous,” Clouse said. With the Libraries’ microfilm readers, she is able to create digital, searchable and easily transportable copies of the film. She rests easier knowing her microfilms are backed up electronically, and the zoom function enables her to take a much closer look at the court cases—and ultimately, the sentiments preceding our own expectations of medical care today.

Clouse hopes to extract opinions about perceived rights to medical care, expectations

4

of treatment, and ideas about medical practitioners’ obligations to cure from the court cases. Changing perceptions of 21st century public health care, Clouse said, are comparable to the political climate surrounding medical care in mid-16th century Spain. She is excited to create a searchable database from which she can discern common patterns and perhaps contemporary parallels.

“Sometimes you feel like you’re in a modern public health care debate,” Clouse said about the cases. “It’s a little disconcerting to realize that those debates have not changed in 500 years.”

o

hio University Libraries took approximately 200 years to collect three million volumes. The acquisition of its first million electronic volumes, however, was an entirely different story — that endeavor took just a few years.

Accessibility of those digital collections is key. As such, the team that negotiates the Libraries’ purchase of 90,000 electronic resources from outside vendors works to ensure that once a resource is acquired, it is electronically accessible to current students, faculty and staff from anywhere in the world.

Kevin Haworth, author and OHIO assistant professor of English, noted that instant access to the Libraries’ resources can be paramount to creativity and innovation.

Tyler Stabile

Which is to say: times are changing quickly, and the Libraries is at the cusp of those changes. In a world where the ubiquity of digital information can be overwhelming, the OHIO community relies on the Libraries to select, organize, and navigate information more than ever. The Libraries’ digital collections present incredible opportunities for advancements in scholarship — opportunities that OHIO students and faculty are utilizing in big ways.

“Being able to access the Library remotely allows for a really organic, flexible creative process,” he said. “I get to just follow my curiosity in a way that I would not be able to otherwise.”

Haworth regularly connected to the Libraries from San Francisco and Tel Aviv while writing his books, and took comfort in knowing he was always just a login away from reliable information when inspiration struck.

In no uncertain terms, access to quality information is an investment. OHIO Libraries’ contribution toward a state-wide subscription for a high-impact medical or science database can approach six figures per year.

“The science, technical and medical databases can be very expensive,” said Janet Hulm, assistant dean for collections and digital initiatives. “But they are absolutely critical.”

Ohio University science faculty would agree.

The databases are springboards for progress, and access to these resources is routine in the life of an academic scientist.

OHIO Professor Stephen C. Bergmeier, head of a medicinal chemistry research group that strives to advance the design and synthesis of new therapeutics for cancer and infectious disease, reported regularly using Science Citation Index Expanded, a massive index of scientific journal literature and conference proceedings, to search for studies relevant to his grant writing.

In addition to supporting student and faculty research, the Libraries serves as a Federal Depository for the Sixth Congressional District since 1886. It recently purchased over 500,000 electronic volumes and official government documents.

“The United States federal government is the single largest publisher in the world,” said Scott Seaman, dean of University Libraries. “Because it’s such a broad range of topics and because so often the government documents are linked to policy decisions, it’s crucial to have that content available to the public.”

Access to existing information is crucial to the creation of new intelligence, and the Libraries plays an essential role in that process. Whatever information you seek, wherever you are, Ohio University Libraries can help you find it.

Tyler Stabile

“The research that we do has the potential to help provide new drugs to address serious human health issues,” Bergmeier said. To date, he has co-invented nine patents.

Mining the Cornelius Ryan Collection

By Jen Doyle

W

hen World War II history enthusiast Seth Givens first became acquainted with OHIO Libraries’ Cornelius Ryan Collection as an undergraduate student, he felt awestruck.

His excitement was understandable — he had just encountered about 21,000 primary sources that war correspondent-turnedauthor Cornelius Ryan had gathered while writing several books about World War II, including “The Longest Day,” a best-selling account of D-Day. The materials are part of a collection, housed in the Libraries’ Mahn Center for Archives and Special Collections, renowned for its raw, unpolished military and civilian personal accounts of the war.

It’s estimated that just 10 percent of it has ever been published.

Seth Givens, a history doctoral candidate, poses with files from the Cornelius Ryan Collection in the Mahn Center at Alden Library on Friday, September 27, 2013.

When the time came for Givens, now a history doctoral candidate, to write his master’s thesis, he mined the collection for accounts of wartime souvenir hunting and looting. The U.S. military condones the former and prohibits the latter, but prior research often grouped the acts together.

“The American serviceman who restrained himself from stealing in Allied countries saw looting in Germany as morally and legally justifiable,” Givens said.

Upon examining the collection, Givens discovered four recurring justifications for the behaviors: wartime necessity, opportunity for trade or profit, personal remembrance, and revenge. He deduced that the rise of looting in Germany was linked to desires for retribution.

Tyler Stabile

Givens, however, found the behaviors in World War II to be two very different things.

Souvenir hunting occurred when GIs collected commonplace items from battlefields as tokens to take home. Looting — the pillage of civilian possessions — was decidedly more problematic. Givens discovered that looting

by American GIs increased dramatically as

they moved deeper into Germany in 1945. It became so ubiquitous that soldiers gave it a tongue-in-cheek pseudonym: “liberating.”

The Cornelius Ryan Collection includes a wealth of original manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, interviews and audio recordings documenting the work of Cornelius Ryan and the Second World War.

Sherry DiBari

In 1943, Cornelius Ryan, who covered the European war as an embedded journalist, joined The Daily Telegraph of London and reported on the war over Germany.

“This stealing for revenge was meant to convince die-hard Nazis they truly were defeated, and to mete out justice to those Germans who were associated with prison, labor, or extermination camps,” he said.

Givens’ study made waves in the world of military history, as American GIs’ proclivity for looting in World War II was often glossed over or ignored. The peer-reviewed academic journal War in History published the research in their 2014 January issue, and adaptations of his thesis garnered Best Paper awards at the Northern Great Plains History Conference and the history-oriented James A. Barnes Club Conference at Temple University.

Following the success of his master’s thesis, Givens plans to revisit the Cornelius Ryan Collection for his doctoral dissertation, currently titled “Cold War Capital: The United States and the Fight for Berlin, 1945-1994.”

Ryan had a penchant for capturing fresh

10

responses from soldiers, and the research value of that is not lost on Givens.

“What generally happens when soldiers remember things is that they have stock answers and stock stories to tell people,” Givens explained.

Realizing that respondents couldn’t give rote responses to questions they’d never been asked before, Ryan made inquiries like: “What was the funniest thing that happened on D-Day?” The tactic worked well. According to Givens, the question caught respondents off guard, made them think, and yielded a large portion of the collection’s accounts of looting and souvenir hunting.

And what was the funniest thing that happened on D-Day? “Not very many things,” Givens said, smiling, “but you’d be amazed.”

Clues from an Early American Letter

By Kate Mason 11

Very few Americans wrote letters, but those written provide a detailed record of early Americans and their work environments, their religious and political viewpoints, what entertained them—and what books they read.

The Academy, open to students in 1808, was the only building on campus until the Center Building, today’s Cutler Hall, was erected almost a decade later. This pen and ink drawing, by OHIO alumnus Mike Major (1971), is what Ohio University’s first building, the Academy, might have looked like.

I

n the days when writing a letter was the only way to send a message over the many miles that separated the communities of Colonial America, letter writing was an important, but costly, form of communication.

In fact, even after the Revolutionary War most Americans couldn’t afford to mail a letter through the postal service; instead, they relied on friends or acquaintances traveling near the letter’s final destination.

12

It seems appropriate, then, in the Libraries’ bicentennial year that a letter dated December 19, 1810 about materials purchased for OHIO’s Libraries recently surfaced. That letter appears to be connected to an 1811 Ohio University Board of Trustee resolution, which stated, that a payment of $183.12½ was made to Caleb Emerson for “purchased books including one set of Surveyors instruments,” and for transporting those items from Marietta to Athens.

The resolution concluded with, “[We] have also contracted for a Terrestrial Globe of Joseph B. Miles for $25,” which in today’s market is valued at $446.43.

In that newly-found letter of 1810, the author, Caleb Emerson, a young attorney and recent settler to Marietta, wrote to his Athens colleague, Artemas Sawyer, an attorney and an OHIO assistant teacher: “Our books at length arrived—most of those ordered for Athens are come—but not all. The globes were so

carelessly put up that one if not both of them are ruined.”

The earliest celestial globes date back hundreds of years and mapped the stars and planets in the night sky, which were an important tool for navigation. Terrestrial globes, on the other hand, mapped the contours of the earth’s surface. Both were painstakingly handmade by educated mapmakers.

overland portage, which possibly originated overseas. The area surrounding the University was covered with dense forests. Travelers through the recently formed state of Ohio faced difficulties and hazards of every sort.

For the Trustees to have had the foresight to purchase such a fragile educational tool was remarkable in itself, but it is with an air of fondness that alumnus Solomon S. Miles (1816) reminisced about OHIO’s first library:

Before the 19th century, these threedimensional maps were expensive and were used primarily by the wealthy class as a symbol of social status. It was not until the 1800s that globes began to be used for educational instruction.

Those clues from a 19th century letter demonstrated that even at its inception, the Library was already supporting academic excellence with innovative materials—a tradition of excellence that still continues 200 years later.

The transportation of goods to Ohio University’s isolated campus was no small feat, so it’s no wonder that damage occurred during

“I enter the [Academy] building and… I see as of old the small library in the northwest corner of the building, with its terrestrial and celestial globe standing in the window and a small case of surveyor’s instruments, the only apparatus of the then infant college.”

Terry Moore Home: New York, NY.

Profession or background: I dropped out of Ohio University in my junior

year. The lack of an undergraduate degree did not, however, prevent me from entering the MBA program at Harvard University. But I dropped out of there, too. Eventually, conceding that a college degree was a good thing to have, I returned to Ohio University and received a Bachelor in General Studies, which I figured would permit me to be an expert on everything.

Now, having become an expert on everything, I did the next logical thing— became a management consultant. Establishing my own consulting firm in 1982, I spent the next 20 years doing unusual research, strategy, and ideation, mostly for large corporations and mostly for large sums of money. In 2002, I retired and married my college sweetheart, Lynn Shostack (also a member of the Ohio Fellows Program), and moved to New York City.

I now spend my time as director of the Radius Foundation, which was established to pursue my interest in multiple ways of knowing and to seek ways of overcoming the conceptual paradigms that, I think, limit too many first-rate thinkers and their ideas.

Last Book Read: “The Island of the Day Before” by Umberto Eco. Hobbies: Philosophy, religion and consciousness.

Why I Support Alden Library: Alden Library is what I think a library should be.

It is not simply an information depository—it is an active part of the University community. Alden Library provides both an access to information and an intellectual and social nexus for the community. It’s alive. Why can’t more libraries be like this one?

T

hroughout the history of academic libraries, one can find plenty of examples where devotion to library collections has trumped the needs and conveniences of students. For example, for over 100 years, it was against policy for a student to drink a cup of coffee while studying in the library.

Never mind that students did that very thing at home: munching late-night snacks while poring over a pile of library books. Some rules and practices have great inertia, but today the food and drink policy in Alden Library has quietly disappeared.

Rather than looking to the past for how things have been done, today in University Libraries, we are trying to make a concerted effort to balance students’ desires with what’s best for our collections, budget, efficiencies and facilities. We are working to develop a culture where student input is continuous. In addition

16

By Kelly Broughton to regularly administering LibQUAL+®, a national standardized instrument that measures the gaps between library users’ expected and perceived service levels, we are gathering feedback about a variety of projects and services to improve our impact on the student experience at OHIO. Launched in the summer of 2012, a variety of assessment efforts went into redesigning the Libraries’ web site. Since then, student feedback has influenced a number of design and language choices so that now it is an easier and more intuitive workspace. Currently, Megan Tomeo, web services librarian, is leading the Libraries’ web team on a project that identifies which tasks students find the most difficult to accomplish on our web site.

The team will work on improving the ease of those tasks and repeat the whole process again in a cycle of continuous improvement.

At the end of 2013, librarians Hilary Bussell, Jessica Hagman and Chris Guder received a grant from the Academic Library Association of Ohio for their project called, “Informed Instruction: A Needs Assessment Model for Library Workshop Implementation.” This project, which gathers data from OHIO graduate students, asks about the challenges students face in learning to do research. The results will inform not only the Libraries’ approach to graduate students’ learning preferences, but perhaps inform the work of other campus partners, too.

The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE®) has been conducted every two to three years at OHIO for more than a decade.

This widely-used national survey measures student participation in learning and personal development activities. In March 2014, an additional survey module called “Experiences

with Information Literacy” was administered with the general survey for the first time.

This module asks students about their use of information and how much their instructors emphasize the proper use of sources. The results will inform the further development of instructional materials and guide discussions about how we support efforts to improve student learning.

We have a growing appreciation for decisionmaking that is grounded in what students tell us they need to be successful. This has helped us become more change-oriented and more interested in seeking direction, priorities and answers from our students rather than from tradition. One of the most gratifying things about approaching our work this way is that students not only tell us how to improve but also tell us when we get it right!

any of us are at a point in our lives when we are reflecting on what we have achieved and what we still hope to accomplish. What will be our legacy, and how can we support what we believe in, so future generations can benefit? People often consider making donations to organizations whose values align with their own in order to realize their long-term legacy and philanthropic goals.

Some donors, would like to make a significant gift to Ohio University Libraries but feel that they may need the use of all their assets during their lifetimes. If that is your case, you can still make a lasting impact on the lives and success of Ohio University students by including the University Libraries in your estate plan. Your gift will have a long-lasting positive effect on all of the academic programs and virtually all of the students here at Ohio University by supporting the Libraries.

Perhaps you’re in a position to consider a planned gift or charitable bequest. A bequest is accomplished when the donor leaves assets to Ohio University Libraries in his or her will, or revocable trust. A gift to the Libraries makes a difference in the amount of scholarly resources and the quality of the education that is available.

As we continue to celebrate our 200th anniversary year of service to the University community, your gift will help us to continue to provide exceptional access to quality information and to professional services that fuel the research from OHIO’s faculty and students—which ultimately encourages new ideas and creates future generations of leaders, thinkers and doers.

I’d be happy to discuss your options with you or your adviser. For more information just call me, Doug Partusch, at 740-593-2683.
