UPDATE

DEAN’S MESSAGE 2020 has been a year we will not soon forget: a global pandemic of a novel virus; economic challenges; a contentious election; and social unrest precipitated by the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and other Black women and men.

For many, the year was stressful and filled with uncertainty; for too many, it was also deadly. I extend our deepest sympathies to those of you who may have lost friends, relatives, and other loved ones, or experienced some of the harshest consequences of the year’s events. From everyone at the Tulane Libraries, we extend our best wishes for a better 2021.

The pandemic disrupted everything at Tulane this year, and the library was no exception. We closed our facilities to the public in mid-March and did not reopen until early August. Staff quickly pivoted to online and remote work while also juggling their personal and family responsibilities. All services moved online to the extent possible. While our very strong collection of electronic books, journals, images, and databases remained available to every current student, staff, and faculty member, our millions of print books, other physical resources, and all our distinctive collections were off-limits to

the community. However, we adapted: instruction, consultation, and meetings moved to virtual events. Small numbers of staff began returning to the still-shuttered buildings to scan materials needed for research or teaching. We acquired new streaming media and e-books. We began a book pickup service for students and faculty that allowed those who needed physical items to get them. We worked with Campus Services to prepare our spaces for the fall and reopened to the public in August. During the fall semester, our spaces were open to the community, but much of our work continued online as normally as possible. I am extremely proud of the creativity, resourcefulness, and resilience our entire team demonstrated. They made what seemed nearly impossible look routine.

These pages highlight some of their efforts over the past year. I hope you’ll enjoy reading about them. I also hope you’ll agree that even under the most trying circumstances, our libraries proved to be a vital part of Tulane’s academic program, helping to advance both the university’s mission and its reputation.

Perhaps more than ever, your support of the Library is vital for our success. Without the generosity of alumni, parents, faculty, students, staff, and friends at Tulane and beyond, we would be unable to do all that we do.

When you support the Library, you support everyone at Tulane. Your contri-

With best regards,

butions help us make Tulane the outstanding institution it is. Thank you.

As always, I welcome your thoughts and questions about the Tulane Libraries. Please find us online at library.tulane.edu or on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media.

CHAMORRO BARRIOS FAMILY PAPERS The Latin American Library at Tulane University (LAL) has acquired by donation the Chamorro Barrios Family Papers (1767-1997). This sizable collection documents one of Latin America’s most influential families, one which has played a key role in the national life of Nicaragua since the 18th century.

Hortensia Calvo, Doris Stone Librarian and Director of The Latin American Library, examines materials from the Chamorro Barrios family papers.

“This collection substantially enhances Tulane’s historical role as a center for Central American scholarship,” says Hortensia Calvo, Doris Stone Librarian and Director of the Latin American Library. “It is rich in previously unexplored documents, which will add new insights on the history of Nicaragua from all periods, including such topics as freedom of the press and civil liberties, political parties and elections, and more.”

The archive includes the papers of Pedro Joaquín Chamorro Zelaya, Pedro Joaquín Chamorro Cardenal, Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, and Antonio Lacayo Oyanguren. The papers of Pedro Joaquín Chamorro Zelaya, a distinguished journalist and historian, are especially strong in documenting earlier periods of Nicaraguan history. He acquired Nicaragua’s leading newspaper, La Prensa, in the 1930s, which has been led by successive generations of the Chamorro family and served as a key organ of dissent against the repressive regimes of the Somoza family, as well as the current government led by Daniel Ortega.

The papers of Pedro Joaquín Chamorro Cardenal contain personal correspondence and thoroughly document events surrounding his 1978 assassination. The papers of Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, the first elected woman president in the Americas, cover her presidential campaign in the late 1980s and the years she served as head of state. The papers of Antonio Lacayo Oyanguren cover Mrs. Chamorro’s years as presidential candidate and later as head of state. The family’s personal files relating to the newspaper, La Prensa, hold extensive documentation of government censorship from the 1930s into the 1980s.

The Chamorro Barrios Family Papers will be available for consultation to the public upon completion of cataloging and preservation measures in late 2021. All materials will be added to the special collections of The Latin American Library. Tulane and LAL are deeply appreciative to the Chamorro Barrios family for donating their extraordinary archive, which will be unrestricted for access by scholars and students.

COVID-19 RESPONSE In April, Tulane University epidemiologist and disease ecologist Dr. Lina Moses, a veteran researcher in the Tulane School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, was deployed to Geneva, Switzerland to work with the World Health Organization (WHO) on COVID-19 response. Receiving daily publication reports, Moses was charged with rapidly distributing the most impactful scientific information to the WHO’s operational response teams. This involved the daily appraisal of a vast amount of critical literature on all aspects of preventing COVID-19 infection and the treatment of those infected.

Working with WHO librarians and graduate students, Moses was continually finding new information regarding the virus. “One of the many elements that were unprecedented about this outbreak is the huge volume of publications coming out,” she noted. “It was about getting the right information to the right teams as quickly as possible.”

In their standard form, the publication reports initially lacked details needed for a rapid review of the high volume of scientific information being generated, which left Moses with a short-term information need best met by health science librarians.

With so much information to digest and curate, Moses reached out for support from Elaine Hicks, her liaison from the Rudolph Matas Library of the Health Sciences at Tulane. Hicks, who holds a Master’s in Public Health from Tulane, in addition to her degree in Library and Information Science, created the Librarian Reserve Corps (LRC), a health science librarian version of the Medical Reserve Corps (MRC), which is a national network of volunteers organized locally to improve the health and safety of their communities.

Four days after distributing a survey to the Medical Library Association, 120 librarians from the United States, Canada, Germany, Australia, and Trinidad volunteered to help Moses meet her goals, forming groups based on the six

WHO pillars of clinical characterization and care, clinical trials for therapeutics, diagnostics, infection prevention and control, risk communication and community engagement, and human and animal interface. LRC volunteers have organized an incident command system of four workgroups that continue to respond to requested searches and modify the publication list format. Moses then reviewed this work and distributed it to the WHO’s GOARN Operational Pillar leads.

LRC volunteers continue to assist in the pressing research needs in the fight to address COVID-19 globally. Hicks’ efforts were recognized by Library Journal, as she was named one of that publication’s Librarians of the Year for 2021.

FALL 2020 REOPENING In March, after Tulane closed campus due to the outbreak of COVID-19, librarians and staff rallied with campus and community partners to donate personal protective equipment (PPE) to doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers. To handle collection materials after disasters, the Tulane University Libraries (TUL) store emergency response supplies, like protective masks and gloves, which were rounded up and donated to local hospitals. “Those on the front lines needed as much support as possible. At Tulane, our motto is non sibi sed suis, and we sincerely tried to exemplify that idea. Our librarians were extremely devoted to helping others as much as possible,” said Sabrena Johnson, Conservation Librarian.

Library facilities were shuttered to all but a few staff working to meet

student and faculty information needs, but preparations for a fall reopening picked up soon afterwards. Library administrative staff worked with Campus Services to make modifications to support physical distancing. Policy changes necessitated by the pandemic included altered hours and different modes of service. Orders for ebooks and streaming videos increased significantly. An order/pickup option for both books and media was initiated, and Howard-Tilton Memorial Library (HTML) installed a new self-checkout station to reduce in-person contact. Librarians and staff were also active throughout summer planning for a very different school year, creating instructional videos and online tutorials to help users navigate the libraries’ extensive online resources, which are all available to the public via the TUL YouTube channel. Instruction and information consultations moved online to Zoom, chat, and email.

When the libraries reopened on Wednesday, August 19, 2020, librarians and staff welcomed the campus community back to its facilities for a new school year. Users returning to HTML, the Rudolph Matas Library of the Health Sciences, and other campus libraries quickly noted the changes. Seating had been reduced by over 50%, and most public computers had been removed.

Plexiglass protective barriers were installed in many study areas along with hand sanitizers and sterilizing wipes. Use of face coverings was mandatory for all staff and users.

“We used the circumstances as an opportunity to develop stronger online skills and new ways of outreach, while still maintaining as many of our in-person services as possible,” said David Banush, Dean of Libraries.

FACULTY AUTHOR SPOTLIGHT

FROM TOP: Tulane faculty

members Joan Blakely, Joel Dinerstein, Victor Holtcamp, and Esra Ozcan.

Over the years, Tulane University Libraries (TUL) has hosted a Library Speaker Series to provide students, faculty, and visiting researchers an opportunity to share their work with peers. In 2019, the Faculty Author Spotlight was conceived to continue the series and promote recent scholarship on campus. In 2020, however, COVID-19 created the need for new ways to support faculty engagement.

Melissa Chomintra and Courtney Kearney, Scholarly Engagement Librarians, adapted to the circumstances by producing an innovative digital Faculty Author Spotlight. As the informational hub of campus, TUL united community members by building a space where participants could partake in academic inquiry while ensuring the health of all participants.

This digital collection was available to all Tulane affiliates and the public to celebrate the recently published authors, promote Tulane’s extensive scholarship, and encourage cross-campus scholarly conversations.

Pre-recorded episodes were released each Monday and Friday in the fall 2020 semester on the TUL YouTube channel, culminat-

ing with three live Zoom Q&As panels in November before finals.

Participating faculty members from the School of Liberal Arts included Thomas Albrecht (English), Michael Brumbaugh (Classical Studies), Ronna Burger (Philosophy), Linda Carroll (French and Italian), Joel Dinerstein (English), Victor Holtcamp (Theatre and Dance), Dennis P. Kehoe (Classical Studies), Kris Lane (History), Jana K. Lipman (History), Nancy Maveety (Political Science), Felicia McCarren (French and Italian), Adam McKeown (English), Jonathan Morton (French), Esra Özcan (Communications), and Mimi Schippers (Sociology). Joan Blakey, Charles Figley, and Nubian OmiSayade Sun were featured speakers from Tulane School of Social Work, and Elizabeth Gross represented the Honors Program.

In bringing faculty work to a wider audience, the Spotlight series also facilitated cross-disciplinary dialogue and moments of discovery among professors who would not ordinarily have the opportunity to share their experiences as researchers, teachers, and authors. The live panels in particular sparked engagement in ways the lecture style speaker series had not previously explored.

NATIONAL POETRY MONTH April is National Poetry Month in the United States. To mark the event in 2020, Tulane University Libraries (TUL) invited everyone from the Tulane community—students, faculty, staff, and alumni— to submit their favorite short poems from any period, in any style, and in any language to be shared on TUL’s website and social media accounts in an effort to bring people together in spirit during a challenging time of physical distance.

TUL received twenty-eight submissions of videos and letters from forty-one Tulane community members. Matthew Sumpter, a visiting faculty member in the English Department, contributed an original poem with the hope that it would give voice to relatable feelings—worry, disorientation, loss— that many were facing at the time. Others, like Carrie Moulder, a marketing and communications specialist at Tulane’s School of Social Work and MSW student, selected poems that described light in times of darkness and beauty in even the most tarnished circumstances. This project evolved into a cathartic outlet for students, alumni, faculty, and staff to express themselves and connect with others at the most isolated phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

For Fall 2020, Tulane University Libraries (TUL) hosted 40 workshops via Zoom, covering topics from citation management to evidence synthesis. Courtney Kearney, Scholarly Engagement Librarian at Howard-Tilton Memorial Library, led three well-attended workshops on the university’s first electronic lab notebook (ELN) platform, LabArchives. LabArchives is a secure, cloud-based ELN that enables researchers to capture, manage, store, and share information and data safely and securely in real time. In partnership with the Office of Research and Tulane Information Technology, TUL launched LabArchives in mid2020 as part of its support for research data management on campus. The software facilitates collaboration among researchers within a lab or institution as well as with outside researchers. It also helps with seamless integration of grant lifecycle management.

Kearney conducted all the user training in the initial rollout and continues to train and support the user base with an online Library Guide she created. Scholarly Engagement Librarian colleagues are also available to assist in integrating LabArchives into Tulanians’ workflow and labs.

ONLINE ENGAGEMENT

20 20

Prioritizing the health of users and staff members required Tulane University Libraries (TUL) librarians to reimagine traditional events, exhibits, and programming in 2020.

Through innovation and dedication, librarians achieved engagement with students, faculty, and the community virtually through a combination of online exhibits, recorded tutorials, and the Collection Connection video series.

Users had access to more materials and collections than ever before thanks to the efforts of librarians to digitize information. Several online exhibits were added, including “Books Through Their Pages,” “Iron Gall Ink,” and “Mapping the Rennaissance.” TUL’s YouTube channel flourished thanks to Sean Knowlton and Alan Velazquez of the Digital Scholarship Team. Tulane University Special Collections (TUSC) created the Collection Connection series, pulling back the curtain for viewers to explore some rare and unique materials, including a Gutenberg Bible Leaf, the Ralston Crawford Collection of Jazz Photography, Louisiana Political Ephemera, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps, Carnival Costume and Float Design, Louisiana Menus and Restaurants, and President Ford’s visit to Tulane in 1975.

Additionally, librarians developed video tutorials on such subjects as how to link Google Scholar and how to create quick citations. In a year of chaos and challenges, TUL librarians and staff found plenty of opportunities to engage the community through digital outreach.

EXHIBITS

Zines are an important mode of creative expression for many individuals and groups, particularly those on the margins of mainstream society. Drawing on zines from the holdings of the Amistad Research Center, Newcomb Archives, Tulane University Special Collections (TUSC), and private collectors and creators, TUSC mounted the “Where We Stand: Zines from New Orleans” exhibit to coincide with the College Book Art Association (CBAA) conference on January Zines are self-published, constructed from readily available 2 – 4, 2020. With over 200 book artists, librarmaterials, and often sold or traded at infoshops or zinefests. ians, and educators from across the country Short for magazine, a zine is the epitome of do-it-yourself in attendance, groups toured TUSC’s holdings, publishing. Open to anyone, photocopied or hand-printed, previewed the exhibit, and composed zines as and easily accessible, zines can be the perfect repository part of the CBAA’s Rising Together travelling zine for personal experiences, politics, art, or overlooked exhibit, which are now part of the TUSC zine perspectives. Because anyone can share their voice through collection. this medium, zines build an opportunity for understanding, connection, and, most importantly, community.

Each zine displayed was created in New

Orleans, and the exhibit, curated by Eli Boyne, Tulane Special Collections’ Rare Books Library Associate, highlighted the thriving zine culture of the city. Zines dating from the 1970s to the present covered such topics as LGBTQ+ history and culture, Indigenous and African American history and culture, environmental and civil rights, science fiction and comics, personal experiences (perzines), Katrina and its aftermath, and Mardi Gras.

During the reception on January 23, 2020, visitors stretched their creativity by making their very own zine with collage and drawing materials and handled available issues at the exhibit’s reading wall. Before it closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, several classes visited the exhibit as part of their curriculum.

SPECIAL COLLECTIONS

This year, Tulane University Libraries (TUL) officially debuted Tulane University Special Collections (TUSC), which encompasses the Hogan Archive of New Orleans Music and New Orleans Jazz, the Louisiana Research Collection, the Rare Books Collection, the Southeastern Architecture Archive, and University Archives. The merge of these previously separate collections allows researchers to explore the full range and variety of TUSC holdings across disciplines and research topics such as architecture, carnival, environment, Jewish studies, LGBTQ studies, literature, maps, New Orleans music, politics, women’s studies, and more.

Now, patrons may utilize the nearly 2,500 archival collections, over 130,000 volumes of rare books, and other rare and unique materials that document the history, culture, and communities of New Orleans and beyond in the reading room on the second floor of Jones Hall.

With all units housed under one division, scholars will benefit from the integration of collections and collaboration among archivists and librarians. For research inquiries and comments, interested parties can email specialcollections@tulane.edu and delve into TUSC’s exceptional treasures at facebook.com/ TUSpecialCollections and Instagram @tuspeccoll.

Jillian Cuellar, Director of Tulane University Special Collections, united all collections and archives under one department.

Nix Mendy, Archival Processing Library Associate at Tulane University Special Collections (TUSC), has spent 2020 delving into the manuscripts, journals, screenplays, and short stories of the Anne Rice Archives. Materials arrived in meticulously labelled plastic bins and bankers’ cardboard boxes, and Mendy has focused on the physical arrangement of the papers in chronological order. After carefully transferring papers to acid free folders and boxes for longevity, eighty feet of documents have been completed with thirty more to go.

A few surprises have appeared along the way. Mendy observes a common theme in Rice’s papers that relates directly to the processing work: “The Order of the Talamasca [a fictional secret society in Rice’s books] track and log witness accounts [of the paranormal]. Rice’s characters from The Vampire Chronicles record their own history and understand the impact it will have on the vampire community at large. They examine why their history is recorded in the way that it is, who gets to tell their story, and what stories are important. It’s very similar to my work as an archivist.”

Anne Rice fans will have much to look forward to when the collection is available to the public. Mendy notes that “she kept all of her fan mail and valued their opinions about her work. Rice considered how her work would affect readers, as well as the impact it would have on the New Orleans community.” Researchers will surely be fascinated by the previously unseen adaptations and sequel chapters that were never developed when the collection is open later in 2021.

STRATEGIC PILLARS

Early in the year, Tulane University Libraries (TUL) met to develop action items regarding the new strategic pillars, mission, vision, and values. Divided into small teams, staff members submitted over forty suggestions of approaches and activities to increase the libraries’ success. In April, Tom Rocklin and Barb McFadden from McFadden, Rocklin, and Associates consulted with TUL Administration to refine these ideas and other proposals from campus stakeholders into top priorities aligned with university directives. As the plan was designed to accommodate changes, TUL was well situated to adjust these items in response to the unexpected challenges of 2020.

The Strategic Pillars brochure

In June, TUL staff participated in a zoom meeting with breakout rooms to discuss the four focus areas: making the library a hub of Tulane’s intellectual life; connecting to and supporting the research mission; enhancing access to unique collections and collecting more born-digital resources; and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Groups discussed presenting the library as a virtual hub in a time of social distancing, addressing open access issues, documenting the diversity of New Orleans, stewarding resources, and ensuring DEI through staffing, collections, and programming. This work will continue in 2021 through strategic groups’ project identification and implementation.

DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

20 20

As part of Tulane University Libraries’ (TUL) strategic planning work over the past two years, and in accordance with TUL’s mission, vision, and values, Dean David Banush announced the formation of a new standing library committee on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in June 2020. Members come from across departments and represent a cross section of librarians and staff.

Neville Prendergast, Director of Rudolph Matas Health Sciences Library, and Rachel Stein, Research & Instruction Librarian at The Latin American Library, are committee cochairs. Other members include Melissa Chomintra (User Services & IT), Esterlina Garcia (Technical Services), Greer Robinson (Technical Services), Cardell Ross, Jr. (Administration), Brittani Starr (Matas), and Melissa Weber (TUSC).

They devised an anonymous survey asking for employee feedback on how TUL can enhance workplace equity, diversity, and inclusion, as well as thrive as a welcoming place to work and collaborate. Survey results are being used to inform priorities and actions. Banush, Prendergast, and Stein are consulting with Elaina Norlin, DEI and professional development coordinator at the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL), for guidance in implementing concrete changes, and Dr. Anneliese Singh, Tulane’s new Associate Provost for Diversity and Faculty Development, led a Zoom meeting for all TUL staff in November 2020 to preview her work and share how staff can get involved in meaningful equity and inclusion efforts across the university. The committee will be intensifying their efforts in 2021 in collaboration with university and library partners in the region and country.

STAFF HIGHLIGHTS

This year, David Banush, Dean of Libraries and Academic Information Resources at Tulane University, was elected to membership in the Grolier Club, the oldest and most prestigious bibliophilic society in America.

Founded in 1884, the Grolier Club is the oldest bibliophilic society in the United States. Based in New York City, the club consists of nearly 800 American, British, European, and Asian book collectors, scholars, librarians, printers, and bibliophiles. Its mission is to foster the study, collecting, and appreciation of books and works on paper, their art, history, production, and commerce. The club takes its name from Jean Grolier, a 16th-century French book collector and patron of an Italian press.

New nominees to the Grolier Club are sponsored by current members with recommendations from three additional members.

An interview with the admissions committee and a vote of the group’s governing council are also required. Grolier member Michael Kuczynski, a professor in Tulane’s Department of English, was Banush’s sponsor.

The Grolier Club coat of arms Additional support came from library benefactor Stuart Rose, a world-renowned rare book collector whose gifts to Tulane’s Libraries include funds for acquiring the Anne Rice Archive. Banush was formally approved for membership at the group’s June 11, 2020, meeting.

2020 LATIN AMERCAN LIBRARY AWARD

20 20

On January 11, 2020, The Latin American Library (LAL), its staff, and the Dean of Libraries were recognized for service and dedication to the promotion of the arts by Fundación Isve Guerrero.

According to Israel Guerrero Lara, the president of Fundación Isve Guerrero, this award is granted to people and institutions, organizations, academics, agencies, or people that carry out actions and projects that enhance Mexico and benefit society in general.

The ceremony was held in the historic Castillo de Chapultepec, which has housed Spanish viceroys and Emperor Maximilian and served as the official residence of Mexican presidents until 1939. Today, it is the site of the Mexican National Museum of History.

LAL Director Hortensia Calvo received the prestigious Jaguar Internacional de las Artes, one of the most distinguished recognitions to Fine Arts institutions in the world, as well as the Angel de la Independencia statue for personal service; Curator for Special Collections Christine Hernandez and Office Manager Verónica Sánchez also were recognized with medals for service. With these awards, LAL joins some of Mexico’s most prestigious cultural institutions, such as the libraries of the Instituto Nacional de Historia y Antropología and the National Library at the Universidad Autónoma de México, whose work has been recognized by the Foundation in previous years.
