Voinovich (A.B., ’58) spent an impressive four decades in American politics—as a mayor, a governor and a senator. This past year, however, Voinovich retired and donated his senatorial papers to the Ohio University Libraries. A few of those papers, which include documents relating to national security, healthcare, education, nuclear energy, communication reports, correspondence and memorabilia, are highlighted on the cover.

From the Dean of the Libraries

t is a pleasure to introduce two significant collections new at Alden Library: the George V. Voinovich collection and the Lynn Johnson collection.

Senator George Voinovich (A.B., ’58) has generously deposited his senatorial papers in the Robert E. and Jean R. Mahn Center for Archives and Special Collections. The senator’s work on environmental policy, fiscal responsibility and national security has affected the life of every American citizen. Those same papers will also support Ohio University’s curriculum in political science, contemporary history, and journalism, among others.

Photojournalist and Ohio alumna, Lynn Johnson (M.A., ’04), has donated thousands of images spanning her extraordinary career with world-renowned magazines such as National Geographic, Time, and Life. Ms. Johnson’s photo essays on hate crimes, traditional medicine and the disadvantaged continue to shed light on those sensitive subjects, as we transition further into the twentyfirst century. That vast image archive is a unique resource that will enable researchers’ immediate use as well as for our future generations of students and scholars.

Preserving and providing access to those raw materials for scholars and students is one of the most important contributions that Alden Library offers Ohio University.

Scott Seaman, Dean of Ohio University Libraries

Sherry Dibari

Both the Voinovich and the Johnson collections include not only the final products—whether national legislation or photojournalism—but also the raw materials: handwritten notes, personal commentaries and working drafts that ultimately formed the final publication.

purred by the buzz of the 2012 end-of-the-world predictions, Ohio University Libraries is partnering with several other units on campus to sponsor the Common Experience Project (CEP)—a project to engage the university community in a shared intellectual inquiry on a common theme: Apocalypse: Bright Future / Dark Future.

A committee of staff, faculty and students chose 50 texts and a variety of media as discussion starters, but the CEP blog www.ohio.edu/ commonexperience is the focal point. Here anyone can see the list of vetted readings, post comments, ask for help or join in a discussion.

At about 700 hits per week, the blog is a growing compendium of world-ending thought and talk.

Students and instructors log on to the blog to offer their opinions or to ask questions. Instructor Matthew Patterson queried in the early months, “What are some activities or discussion-starters that would generate discussions about the future of humanity?” Or, more simply, “This is awesome!” wrote undergraduate student Zachary Tumblin after a play-through of the apocalyptic video game, Fallout 3.

OUGHT

Classes that take up the apocalypse theme typically assign one of the shorter readings and require students to respond in writing.

Becca Lachman, English instructor, says that the theme “is applicable to most courses. In my Women and Writing course and in my undergrad creative writing workshop, we’ve connected freewriting exercises, film viewings and local field trips to the theme.

“Getting more upperclassmen involved is definitely a goal of mine,” Lachman says. “As they start thinking about what’s next after college, students can relate to the ‘Bright Future/Dark Future’ theme. Any outlet that can help them reflect on and process their jumbled emotions is ultimately a good thing.”

The CEP is one year into a twoyear project, and there are many opportunities ahead to incorporate discussion of the theme into campus classes and events—that is, as long as the world doesn’t end first.

Dr. Francine Ch Home: Born in Wellington, Texas (home of cotton). I moved to Athens in 1974.

Profession: Professor Emerita of African American Studies—but I am still working with students.

Last Book Read: What I read depends upon my mood. I loved “A Hand to Guide Me,” by Denzel Washington. It is full of personal stories that brought me back to the people who inspire me. Every young person should read it to help shape their destiny.

Hobbies: I love gardens more than anything. I used to have every vegetable you could think of. Whenever students were here in the summer, they would just come by and I would have fresh everything out of my garden.

I also have a passion for older people. I enjoy working at the nursing home where I play games, sing, talk and read scriptures with them.

Why I Support Alden Library: I believe in education, and libraries are crucial in providing books. Libraries are a place of enlightenment and intellectual stimulation. You can tap into the libraries’ resources without even coming inside.

Profile: One who loves God, her family, her friends and humanity.

Memorable Movie: Secretariat and The Blind Side.

Current Project: I am writing a book called, “Beyond Blood Ties” about my grandmother, Mama Clara. She was a very loving and kind person. Mama Clara was the person I always sought to become.

Favorite Place on Campus: It used to be the bike path. It is a place where I meet friends and where I counsel people—and it’s a place I meet with God. Dr. Francine Childs is a strong supporter of the Libraries’ Donald and Marian Spencer Endowment for African American Studies.

All in a D Senator Voinovich greets an unidentified military person.

G

eorge V. Voinovich, who had an incredible 43-year run in public office, has been on the front lines of American politics as a mayor, a governor and a senator. And to many Ohioans, regardless of their political preference, Voinovich made his presence felt in Washington.

Yet Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter, Stephen Koff, writes that Voinovich hardly casts the image of a Republican hell-raiser, “with his aw-shucks smile, Save the Children ties and occasional tears when talking about tough choices.”

This past year, however, at the age of 74, Voinovich retired from public office, saying, “It is time to hand the baton off to the next generation.”

So what happens to all the political history that surrounds a person who was in public office for over four decades?

In this case, the senator (A.B., ’58) donated his senatorial papers to the Ohio University Libraries.

George and Janet Voinovich

Those senatorial papers are part of a larger assemblage of materials called the Voinovich Collection that offers a unique perspective on United States politics.

Today, researchers are able to explore, discover and interact with the collection as it relates to history, current events and classroom assignments.

Additionally, the senator collaborated with the Ohio University Libraries and the George V. Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs to create a Seminar Room on the fifth floor of Alden Library in Government Documents as well as a Welcome Exhibit on the first floor in Building 21 at the Ridges.

Kelly Broughton, Assistant Dean for Research and Education, who is coordinating the project says, “The Libraries are honored and excited that Senator Voinovich selected our archives for his collection. By providing us with the means to exhibit the documents and artifacts that represent his impressive career in public service, we hope to inspire student researchers and future public servants for years to come.”

A family in Pittsburgh spends time together outside on a nice day.

here once was a shy high school student living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who spent her free time hiding out in her school library—and looking through all of the books on photography. Today that girl is a world-renowned photographer named Lynn Johnson.

In the 1970s Lynn was the first woman staff photographer at the now defunct Pittsburgh Press before she turned to freelancing. Lynn now celebrates a career that includes thousands of photographs that tell hundreds of stories and that are printed and distributed worldwide in magazines such as National Geographic, Sports Illustrated and Life.

As an alumna and a former Knight Fellow in Ohio University’s School of Visual Communication, Lynn gratefully agreed

10

to donate her photo archive collection.

“That’s 35 years of my life—all my years of maturation as a human being, as a woman and as a photographer,” says Lynn. “I had some really powerful life experiences represented in that material.”

Her photos are stories of human suffering and human accomplishment, stories of hope and stories of defeat. “We tend to want to hide from a lot of the problems out there because it just can be so overwhelming,” says Lynn. “I’m in some ways drawn to those difficult things and acknowledge that the more we photograph the people in suffering the more we contribute to the readership not being able to cope. My hope is that somewhere in their consciousness there is a photograph that will motivate them to action.”

Dean of the Libraries, Scott Seaman says, “Preserving and making accessible special collections is a unique contribution of research libraries to our society. We are particularly proud to steward such an important collection as Lynn Johnson’s and look forward to making it available to students and researchers.”

The collection includes 39 boxes of original 35mm prints, negatives and slides, and eight filing cabinets full of similar materials, often with their accompanying publications.

Once the collection is processed, students, faculty and researchers from around the world will be welcomed and encouraged to explore this amazing collection of living images.

Dean of Libraries Scott Seaman presents Theresa White with a Friends of the Libraries undergraduate award for her presentation on Friday afternoon, May 13 at the annual Student Research and Creative Activity Expo at the Convocation Center.

CREATIVITY AND RESEARCH: An Evolving Vision

T

By Howard Dewald

he roar from the floor of the Convocation Center came not from a great play, but

rather from the collective voice of the hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students that presented their work to the judges at the sixth annual Student Research and Creative Activity Expo May 13, 2011.

14

Projects submitted were from all colleges on campus and were presented to fellow students, faculty, administrators and the general public. The research ranged from engineering design models to intergalactic studies to theater and dance productions.

Each presentation was judged and was eligible for a $200 first-place or a $100 second-place departmental prize. Additionally, special awards came from various campus organizations including the University Libraries and Friends of the Libraries.

The library chose four winners to be given those awards: a graduate student, an undergraduate student, someone with a direct association to the library and a Patrick Traylor

librarian’s choice winner.

Li Li, the Friends of the Libraries’ graduate student winner, who did her project on U.S. student reactions to Chinese teachers, says the library was a great help to her research. “The library databases have been the major source of all my literature review. I used InfoTree to search for related international teacher studies and instructional communication scholarship about teacher factors. I used the interlibrary loan service, and I stored all the information in RefWorks so the articles are more retrievable,” she says.

There were also many other winners at the expo including Jordan Shirkman, a senior business major in the Honors Tutorial College and the second place winner of the social sciences section of the expo. He says he used the library to work on his project. “I wouldn’t have been able to complete my research if I didn’t have access to [the Libraries’] Business Source Complete,” he says. “It’s a phenomenal database with lots of resources.”

Although the roar in the Convo has since died down, the library continues to be a hub of research activity—for students, faculty and scholars around the world.

Don Gorman Home: Gahanna, Ohio.

Profession: Advertising Executive, formerly a true-hippie entrepreneur. I was on the radio

as a DJ, both at Ohio University and in Columbus for a couple of years; a part owner of a record store on campus in Columbus; a concert promoter; a press secretary (one of three) for John Glenn in his first successful senatorial campaign; and then on to an extended life in advertising.

Last Book Read: “The Informationist: A Thriller” by Taylor Stevens. (It will be the new hot book about a bad-ass female protagonist—A.K.A. Lisbeth Salander.) Non-fiction: “Fire Season” by Philip Connors.

Hobbies and Interests: Reading, fitness, grand-kids, “She Who Must be Obeyed” (my wonderful wife of almost 25 years, Lisal), golf, The Columbus Metropolitan Library and the New York Yankees.

Words of Wisdom: You can never learn anything when your mouth is open.

Profile: I will tell you what I really think!

Memorable Music: The Grateful Dead playing for free in Ewing Auditorium, and “Rocky Raccoon” coming up on the P.A. system right before they started—on the day the Beatles’ “White Album” was released; After the Fifth Dimension cancelled as the opening act for Jose Feliciano in the Convocation Center, and they were replaced with an unheard of band from England (some of us hard-core music junkies already had their brand new album): Led Zeppelin. The stories I could tell.

Current Project: Working with the Columbus Board of Realtors to get more book donations to the Friends of the Columbus Metropolitan Library.

Favorite Place on Campus: The Electric Lighthouse. It was a San Francisco-styled ballroom at the end of Court Street. Lots of bands (including a couple I played in as a drummer) used to perform there. They had a very cool light show, and it was big fun.

Other Facts that may be of Interest: I am worried if I told too much more that I would blow my responsible-looking cover as a contributing and productive member of the community.

Transfor mations

By Doug Partusch

Norman Cousin’s statement is still very true today. For both Ohio University and southeast Ohio, Alden Library continues to provide a place for students, faculty and community members to gather, research, read, access the web, work on group projects, learn to cull though mounds of actual and virtual information, discuss and debate ideas or generally ponder world history or current affairs.

The power of ideas can never be underestimated. Ideas can be transformational. Libraries can provide the resources to inspire truly great ideas and to provide the information and motivation that enables students to achieve academic success that they thought previously unattainable.

18

The space to exchange those ideas and the materials to encourage students to travel down the road of academic discovery is very important. That’s why we are so pleased to announce our most recent gifts to Alden Library in this issue.

Along with the donation of his senatorial papers, George V. Voinovich was also involved in the planning to construct a new seminar space. He has contributed not only the raw materials to generate scholarship in public service and leadership, government studies, contemporary history, political science and journalism, but also has provided badly needed library space to discuss and explore that scholarship.

Additionally, thanks to a lead gift by world-renowned photographer Lynn Johnson, the development of our new photojournalism archive has been established—another example of how generous donors can provide the resources that enhance an already excellent discipline on campus.

The George V. Voinovich Seminar Room is a very real example of the power of collaborative donor support, and the positive, transformational effect those gifts can have on an organization.

Support of all our projects, whether it be capital in nature, or whether it be resources that support everyday scholarly work (plus exceptional research on the part of faculty and students) truly makes a difference in the “Ohio University experience.”

As you can see in this issue, Lynn Johnson’s photographic work is truly remarkable.

Her desire to share that work and her experiential knowledge with students at Ohio University will have a lasting effect upon generations of students and faculty.

“A library is a delivery room for the birth of ideas.”

- Norman Cousins

Bryan Thomas

The room is equipped with mobile technology to provide access to the latest research and networked information for a variety of focused and interdisciplinary seminars and discussions. Much of the equipment in the room has been supplied by other generous donors like you. Ruth Anna Duff, a long-time library donor, designated her annual support to help outfit the room with iPads for students to use in conference and learning situations.

She and other donors have ensured that we not only have a space, but that it is positioned to be utilized in the most effective manner.
