UC Libraries PROGRESS REPORT University of Cincinnati

FRO M T H E DE A N Welcome to the 5th Annual University of Cincinnati Libraries Progress Report – A Year of Reflection.

This past year the University of Cincinnati marked its Bicentennial led by the tenants: to Honor the past. Elevate the present. Bend the future. While celebrating the Libraries’ vital role in the past 200 years of the university, I am appreciative of the dedication and efforts of my predecessors who worked diligently to build and propel UC Libraries forward. A list of all UC Librarians, from 1892 to the present, is included on page 6.

Our mission is to empower discovery, stimulate learning and inspire the creation of knowledge by connecting students, faculty, researchers and scholars Vice Provost for Digital Scholarship, Dean and University Librarian to dynamic data, information and resources. Our ambitious vision is to become Xuemao Wang the globally engaged, intellectual commons of the university - positioning ourselves as the hub of collaboration, digital innovation and scholarly endeavor on campus. In order to meet our mission and achieve our vision, UC Libraries must provide access and services, strengthen our existing partnerships and build new ones. We are ever evolving to meet the changing needs of our constituents and to contribute to the research and scholarly endeavors of the university.

As the next phase of our strategic direction, we spent this past academic year as a time of reflection. We began by assessing our goals, objectives, accomplishments and gaps in order to make an honest appraisal of our progress and to identify what needs further exploration. We took a critical look at our operations through an initiative we named Operational Excellence (OE), a process that resulted in the identification of gaps in both resources and staffing. To address issues identified by the OE process, we moved two staff members into new opportunities, changed two term positions to permanent ones and we welcomed eight new and talented staff members to join our organization to both fill crucial gaps as well as to create capacity for future growth.

Through UC’s Strategic Sizing initiative that began this past summer, we identified four priorities that will position the Libraries to play an integral role in the university colleges’ academic pursuits and the strategic objectives outlined in Next Lives Here. The four priority areas are: to lead digital innovation; lead the open agenda; enhance global impact by enhancing investment in UC Libraries and to pursue excellence in supporting teaching, research and learning of UC students, faculty and staff.

All of this reflection has illuminated the Libraries’ need to narrow our focus and to be even more intentional with resource allocation, thus resulting in the need for the creation of an emerging, and even bolder, Strategic Framework. Work on creating the Strategic Framework begins now with a consultant who will lead us in Design Thinking methodology. Taking the information gathered from our year of reflection, we will now concentrate on asking our community of students, faculty and university administrators not just what they want from UC Libraries, but to anticipate what they NEED. What are they trying to achieve? What grand problem or challenge are they facing and how can we enable them to succeed? We not only want to sharpen our “inside out” approach, but we are most eager this time to guide our future work from the “outside in,” by understanding the perspectives of our university leadership, faculty, staff, students and the Greater Cincinnati community.

A new Strategic Framework built on the knowledge of our strengths and challenges, coupled with the needs and perspectives of our users will propel us forward as we strive to become the globally engaged intellectual commons of the university – now and well into the future.

PILL A R I: DIGITA L T ECH N O LOGIE S & IN NOVATIO N

Develop innovative technologies and services that transform and generate new modes of inquiry, access, scholarship, learning and creative ways of working together.

In October 2018, UC Libraries created a new Application Development Unit to develop and manage software projects for the Libraries.

The new department is staffed by developers from the former Digital Collections and Repositories Department: Sean Crowe, Glen Horton and Thomas Scherz. They continue to work on repository development as well as new projects that support and advance various library endeavors and initiatives.

In May 2019, Provost Kristi Nelson and Vice President for Research Pat Limbach jointly announced that UC Libraries’ Digital Scholarship Center was selected as one of the first six anchor teams for the Digital Futures initiative. Digital Futures is integral to the Next Lives Here vision in UC’s strategic direction as it will “empower diverse teams of thinkers and doers to push the boundaries of what’s possible,” UC President Neville Pinto said, “to bend the future in Cincinnati’s direction.”

Reflecting on PILL A R III: S PACE

Transform the concept and use of learning spaces managed by the library.

This summer we challenged students to Help Config the Reconfig! We asked them to provide input on possible changes to a large area within the main floor of the Walter C. Langsam Library by considering the questions: “Why do you come to the library?” “What kind of furniture do you want?” “What inspires you?” To provide input, library visitors were encouraged to draw, write or tell their ideas on one of two large chalkboards positioned at the entrance to the library as well as in the space to be renovated.

After analyzing the input from students, we are now working with UC’s Office of Planning + Design + Construction to redesign the space to add more user space and seats, relocate or reduce some collections and to renovate existing group study rooms to make them more appealing and comfortable for a variety of uses.

The project encompasses approximately 13,000 square feet of the library. It is part of the Libraries Master Plan, a comprehensive look at all library facilities and needs for the future.

Inaugural Adopt-A-Book Event a Success for UC Libraries!

This past March, donors braved a sudden spring storm to attend the University of Cincinnati Libraries’ inaugural fundraiser, Hidden Treasures: An Adopt-A-Book Evening.

UC Libraries’ Adopt-A-Book program and event provides essential funding to support the preservation, acquisition and digitization of books, manuscripts and collections. Curators for each of UC Libraries’ special collection libraries, along with the Henry R. Winkler Center for the History of the Health Professions, carefully selected the materials put on display for the event at the Walter C. Langsam Library.

The evening began with a reception and tours of the Preservation Lab. Guests were given a backstage look at the lab’s equipment and some of the items they were working on. Once the tours were completed, donors were free to peruse the 61 items on display available for adoption.

Materials from the Geology-Mathematics-Physics Library

By the end of the evening, half of the items had been adopted. The remaining items are available for adoption on the Adopt-A-Book website: libapps.libraries.uc.edu/adoptabook/.

A Space for Learning to Honor Anne Grieme Dorsey, Who Dedicated Her Career to Early Education If Anne Grieme Dorsey chased one thing while she was a professor in early education and director of the Arlitt Center for Education, Research and Sustainability at UC it was a better understanding—a better understanding for how the youngest in our society learn. “The Nobel Prize this year went to a trio examining how young people learn in poverty,” remarked her husband of 58 years, Robert Dorsey. “Anne wasn’t focused on poverty, but – like the winners— she was indeed profoundly interested in how children learn in any circumstance.”

Always searching for better ways to reach and teach children, Dorsey traveled around the world to see what was working elsewhere and became an expert on the topics of early childhood education and care. She put her work to practice, raising her and Bob’s three boys into very successful adults. “She was an incredible parent,” Robert Dorsey says, “and she wanted to expand her knowledge and share her findings with others.”

Dorsey co-authored books including Developing and Administering a Child Care Center, now in its 9th edition, and her dedication to a better early education system led to a nomination for Enquirer Woman of the Year in 1991 by her colleagues and former students—an honor she won.

Back in her days of teaching, Dorsey could often be found in a study carrel at UC’s Walter C. Langsam Library— that’s why her husband chose to make a grant this year to the UC Foundation to name one of the teaching and seminar rooms for his beloved wife, whom he met at a Robert Frost poetry reading at UC’s former Wilson Auditorium when they were undergraduates in the mid 1950s.

From now on, 530 Langsam Library will be known as the Anne Grieme Dorsey Learning Space. The endowment made in her name will provide support for future room needs and/or aid in the general operations of UC Libraries. Family and friends gathered on October 26 to dedicate the room.

Fitting, too, says her husband Robert, because she loved libraries and served on UC Libraries’ Proudly Cincinnati campaign committee. Anne passed away in 2014, but her legacy and name live on at UC, both in a scholarship in her name, and now in a room where people will learn for years to come.

Lucas Family Once Again Steps Up to Support the Winkler Center Being the secondoldest public college of medicine in the U.S., the University of Cincinnati has left an indubitable mark on the field Judy Lucas and Dan Lucas standing in front of a of medicine. It portrait of Dr. Stanley J. Lucas gave us the world’s first functional heart-lung machine and the first live, attenuated polio vaccine, among many other firsts.

These medical triumphs live on in UC’s collection of historical medical documents, objects and other memorabilia—pieces of history that until now didn’t have funds directly devoted to their display and conservation.

Mother-son duo Judy and Dr. Dan Lucas have stepped up to establish an endowment fund for exhibits at the UC Libraries’ Henry R. Winkler Center for the History of the Health Professions. The hope, Judy says, is that the center can better develop its exhibitions and connect with a wider audience.

“Creating engaging and educational displays costs money,” Judy says. Who knows from 20 years’ experience curating the Skirball Museum Cincinnati at Hebrew Union CollegeJewish Institute of Religion. “Maybe in the future, as museums move into new technology, we can find better ways to access the collections and more effectively communicate their meaning.” The money can also be used for conservation and preservation of the collection, Judy says.

The Lucas family has a long history at UC—three generations became doctors through the College of Medicine. Several objects in the center’s collection were donated and researched by the late Dr. Stanley J. Lucas, Judy’s husband and Dan’s father.

Stanley was a well-known radiologist in Cincinnati and former president of the Ohio State Medical Association. He donated x-ray equipment and an early x-ray of conjoined twins in utero.

The Jim and Connie Ruebel Collection After completing his undergraduate degree at Yale, native Cincinnatian Dr. Jim Ruebel returned to his hometown to complete his master’s and doctorate degrees at UC where he earned a PhD in classics and ancient history. These degrees would pave the way for his future career in classics, as a lifelong teacher, learner, coach and mentor to countless students.

When it came time to decide what to do with his collection, Dr. Ruebel’s wife, Connie, reached out to determine the most appropriate home. “A colleague and friend in classics did a little research for me when he heard my thoughts about giving the books to a university where they would be used by students. Jim was all about students!

The fact that UC has a library dedicated to classics, the size of the program in terms of faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, and its outstanding reputation made UC an easy decision.”

Gifting the collection gave Connie Ruebel an opportunity to honor her husband’s memory in a meaningful, tangible way. “And I had to do something with all of the books!,” she said, “Jim taught classics at the University of Minnesota, Iowa State and Ball State, where his career culminated as dean of the Honors College. One can collect a lot of books over a 40-year teaching career. The Classics Library at UC seemed like a natural home for our collection. I know in my heart Jim would be very pleased to know the books are housed there.”

The cross-cultural collection, numbering close to 2,300 books, will join the almost 300,000 volumes in the world-renowned John Miller Burnam Classics Library. Included in his collection is one of Dr. Ruebel’s own manuscripts, Apuleius: The Metamorphoses, Book 1, along with a one-of-a-kind piece of art by notable Garfield cartoonist Jim Davis.

The exhibits will be displayed in the Stanley J. Lucas, MD, Board Room, a premier location for meetings, lectures and receptions, made possible, too, by a gift from the Lucas family. “The room has been a great success,” says Dan, who is a practicing diagnostic radiologist in Arizona. “It’s a gateway to the medical “I would hope the availability of these books, center and an ideal space to highlight the contributions of many with Jim’s notations, would enhance the Libraries PROGRESS REPORT University of Cincinnati 17 Cincinnati physicians.

HO NO R RO LL O F DO N O R S The University of Cincinnati Libraries gratefully recognizes the generosity and foresight of our donors – alumni, faculty, staff and many friends, including corporations and foundations – who understand the importance of how an excellent library system is crucial to the academic and research success at UC. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the following individuals and organizations whose generous contributions of $100 or more help to sustain the operations and endowments of the UC Libraries. The list reflects support received from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019, and cumulative giving for donors at lifetime recognition levels.
