art including some by UNCP faculty; North Carolina pottery; gift baskets; food packages; golf packages ; jewelry; handcrafted items such as clocks, needlework treasures, and a multifamily birdhouse complex ; and tickets to North Carolina

Message from the Dean of Library Services
Springtime is always exciting at the Sampson-Livermore Library,
and spring 2006 is no exception. At this writing, students are
preparing major semester papers and projects and looking forward
to Spring Break, some also to commencement in May. National
Library Week always comes in April and our library is pleased to
observe this annual opportunity to focus attention on the value of
libraries in the American society and to this campus in particular.
Friends of the Library Boord of Directors members and library
staff are preparing for another exciting benefit event, this year
planned for April 21 and called "A Springtime Showcase @ the
Library!" I am very grateful for the volunteers who serve on our
Board of Directors as well as a dedicated staff who believe in the
value of the mission of the Sampson-Livermore Library.
We members of the Board of Directors of the Friends of the
Library and the staff of the Sampson-Livermore Library invite you
to catch spring fever and join us in the special events planned for
spring 2006.

Intellectual Freedom Is a Core Value
Message from the FOL President
Since the beginning of our human historical record, people have been vilified, ostracized,
and crucified for what they have expressed in writing. Across the broad span of human history,
books have been challenged, censored, and banned more than any other mass medium .
Many reasons have been put forth for banning books: the publication of political or sexual
expression and the use of language offensive to another's race, ethnicity, culture, gender,
sexuality, or religion. Materials considered by some to be heretical, blasphemous, seditious,
or obscene often are censored or banned.
For example, during discussions about censorship, today's students usually find it odd that
somewhere in America the children's folktale Little Red Riding Hood has been a banned

book.
Check out Banned Books Online at http://digital.library.upenn.edu/books/banned-books.html. There you'll find that an
illustrated edition of Little Red Riding Hood was banned from two California school districts in 1989 because the book
showed the heroine taking food and wine to her grandmother. The schools were concerned about the use of alcohol.
Other banned books include, to name but a very few, Twain's Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, Eliot's Silas Marner,
Mitchell's Gone With the Wind, Whitman's Leaves of Grass, Shakespeare's Hamlet, Macbeth, King Lear. Twelfth Night, and
The Merchant of Venice .

Generally, those who want to ban certain books think of themselves as sincere, concerned individuals who want to raise
moral values, improve society, and protect children and others from exposure to information deemed dangerous. Fortunately
for those who disagree with their characterizations, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution gives each of us
the right to read, view, listen to, and disseminate constitutionally protected ideas, no matter how offensive others may judge
them to be.
We're faced with this conundrum: When would-be censors express their opinions, they are exercising the same rights
others protect as they confront censorship. When WOUld-be censors make their criticisms known, they are exercising the
same rights as those who created and disseminated the material to which they object. Their right to voice opinions and try to
persuade others to adopt those opinions is protected just as the rights of disseminators of information are protected.
What should we do? Uphold the
intell~ctual
freedom to hold, receive, and disseminate ideas . Make sure that every
individual can seek and receive information from all points of view without restriction. Provide free access to all expressions
of ideas through which all sides of a question may be explored.
I'm reminded that U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas more than 50 years ago said, "Restriction of free
thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat
us."
After all, intellectual freedom is the heart of our democratic system To self-govern responsibly, we must be well-informed.
Libraries, like our own Sampson-Livermore Library, provide the ideas and information we need to learn and inform ourselves.
President John F. Kennedy said, "Liberty without learning is always in peril and learning without liberty is always in vain ."
For their contributions to my understanding of contemporary elements of this issue, I'm grateful to the American Library
Association, the Loyola University Chicago Libraries, the University of Pennsylvania, Fordham University, the Media Coalition
Inc., the Internet Public Library, Neiman Reporls, and a variety of other sources. - Tony Curlis

Sampson-Livermore Library Management Restructured
by Anne H. Coleman
Recently there has been a reorganization in the structure of the management of the Sampson-Livermore Library. Upon the
recommendation of Provost Charles Harrington, which was subsequently approved by
Chancellor Allen Meadors, Dr. Elinor Foster's title was changed from University Librarian to
Dean of Library Services, effective January 1, 2006.
Dr. Foster earned a Master in Library Science and a Doctorate in Education in higher education
administration from UNC Greensboro. Her undergraduate degree, in English , was received
from Wake Forest University. She has worked in the public schools, community colleges, and
universities, so she has had experience in a numuer of academic and library settings. She
directed the Sampson-Livermore Library from 1989-1993 and returned in 1999 to the University
after a five-year stint as Library Director at the University of Texas-Pan American .
Effective February 14, 2006, twoAssistant Deans were appointed to assist the management
team of the UNCP library. Dr. Foster requested the addition of Assistant Deans to the
organizational structure of Sampson-Livermore Library because as the library staff grew in
numbers she saw a need to provide more direct administrative guidance and contact
opportunities for librarians other than from herself. The number of staff librarians has grown
from eight in 1999 to the current 13 positions (including Dr. Foster). The increase in the number
Dr. Elinor Foster,
of librarians has become necessary due to'the heightened
Dean of Library Services
volume of duties and responsibil ities now handled by library
staff because of enrollment growth patterns, as well as the
increasing complexity of library services and resources now available to library users, especially
in the realm of electronic resources. Dr. Foster is quick to acknowledge that it has been gratifying
that the Library has been able to add staff positions due to the enrollment growth funds that
were provided to the Library, and adds that the growth pattern created a need for greater depth
in the administrative leadership at the Library.
Fortunately there were capable and experienced librarians already on the library staff who were
willing to take on additional duties and share their expertise with their fellow librarians and library staff
members. When asked to do so by Dr. Foster, following
approval of the reorganization plan by Provost Harrington and
Chancellor Meadors, two librarians, Cynthia E. Saylor and
Susan F. Whitt, accepted new and expanded responsibilities.
Under the new management organization, Cindy Saylor has
been named Assistant Dean for Research Services and
Cynthia E. Saylor
Systems. Cindy will manage library public services and access
Assistant Dean For
to information resources, as well as continue to coordinate all
Research
electronic technologies associated with library services. Cindy
Services and Systems
came to UNCP in 1996 as Instructional Services/Reference Librarian and irr 2002 was named
Systems Librarian, in charge of managing the Library's website and computing services. Cindy
received a Master in Library and Information Studies from UNC Greensboro and a Bachelor of Arts
in Education from the current University of Virginia's College of Wise.
Susan Whitt has been named Assistant Dean for Collection Management and AcquiSitions.
Susan will manage the growth and development of the Library's collection, including books, serials,
and electronic databases. Susan came to UNCP in 1990 as theAutomated Public Services Librarian;
Susan F. Whitt
Assistant Dean for
then she, too, spent several years in Texas, from 1994-1999, where she was a branch manager for
Col/ection Management
the Harris County Public Library System. In 1999, Susan retumed to UNCP as Reference/Instructional
and Acquisitions
Services Librarian, and in 2002 she was named Acquisitions/Collection Development Librarian.
Susan is a graduate of UNC Greensboro and received a Master of Library Science from N.C.
Central University and a Bachelor of Arts in pol~ical science from UNC Greensboro. Her prior professional experience ranges from public
libraries to public school and community college libraries.
Dr. Foster is confident that the new organizational structure will serve the Library well in purposefully moving forward to a dynamic and
productive future.

NC LIVE Makes Resource Changes
by Michael Alewine and Robert Arndt
NC LIVE (North Carolina Libraries In Virtual Education), the statewide educational consortium, acquired new databases and
made major upgrades to existing database titles. While NC LIVE dropped some databases, the overall coverage has greatly
increased with the upgrades and new acquisitions. A few of the changes are highlighted below:
Academic Search Premier and Business Source Premier
The upgrade from Academic Search Elite and Business Source Elite to the Premier products is probably the most significant
change made by NC LIVE. The Premier products provide expanded coverage, including backfiles, increased full text, and greater
access to scholarly peer-reviewed sources.
Academic Search Premier contains indexing for 8,030 publications, with full text for 4,459 of those titles. Over 100 of these titles
have PDF backfiles to 1975 or further. Academic Search Premier also provides searchable cited references for more than 1,000
titles. Academic Search Premier replaces the need for a number of databases that were dropped by NC LIVE: American Humanities
Index, Expanded Academic Index ASAP, InfoTrac OneFile, and InfoTrac Professional Custom Journals.
Business Source Premier provides the full text for over 8,800 serials, with some full text reaching back to 1965. Business
Source Premier provides coverage of other titles that were dropped by NC LIVE: ABI/lnform Archive, ABI/lnform Complete, ABI/
Inform Global, ABI/lnform Trade and Industry, and Hoovers Company Records. Access to Business Source Premier also includes
access to Regional Business News, which provides the full text for over 50 regional business publications.
CAMIO (Catalog of Art Museum Images Online)
CAMIO provides rights-cleared access to more than 80,000 high-quality art images that can be used by faculty and students for
group projects, course lectures, course Web sites, lectures, presentations. CAMIO allows searching by artist, style or period, date
and type of object.
CINAHL Plus with Full Text
NC LIVE upgraded CINAHL to CINAHL with Full Text. Sampson-Livermore Library then upgraded CINAHL with Full Text to
CINAHL Plus with Full Text, which covers nurSing, biomedicine, health sciences librarianship, alternative/complementary medicine,
consumer health and allied health disciplines. CINAHL Plus with Full Text provides full text for over 300 journals with PDF backfiles
to 1937. In addition, this database offers access to books and dissertations in medical fields, selected conference proceedings,
nursing and health care standards, educational software, audiovisuals and book chapters. Evidence-Based Care Sheets and
Quick Lessons provide brief overviews of care for selected illnesses and conditions. CINAHL Plus with Full Text includes PreCINAHL,
which provides access to new article citations prior to full inclusion in CINAHL.
Morningstar Library Edition
Morningstar Library Edition provides mutual fund and stock information commonly used by students and investors. Coverage
includes information on more than 16,000 mutual funds, 6,000 stocks, 2,000 fund analyst reports, and over 1,400 stock analyst
reports.
Sampson-Livermore Library acquires many non-NC LIVE electronic resources which support the educational and research
needs of the University community. Assistance with all library electronic resources is available via Reference Services.

Special Collections Room Named for University Donor
by Elinor Folger Foster
A gift to the University in December 2005 from Charles and Betty Bridger of Bladen County has resulted in the
naming of the Special Collections area of the Sampson-Livermore Library (Room 144) as the Betty fletcher Bridger
Special Collections Room. A plaque will be placed in this room, which houses rare materials associated with the
growth and development of UNC Pembroke and Robeson County throughout their commingled histories.
Mrs. Bridger, a 1973 graduate of UNC Pembroke, stated in a conversation with Dr. Eljnor Foster January 30, 2006
that she deSignated the Library as the recipient of the gift she and her husband provided because "libraries are important
places for learning and not everything students need to know can be obtained from computers." Furthermore, Mrs.
Bridger continued, "Pembroke is so important for this area. It provides a chance for people from this area to go to
school who might not otherwise have the chance to attend college."
Library staff certainly appreciates the gift from Mr. and Mrs. Bridger and heartily endorses the concepts expressed by
Betty Bridger in her comments about their gift to the University. Plans are to use the gift to enhance collections and
scholarship opportunities, as advised by the Board of Directors of the Friends of the Library of UNC Pembroke.

Sampson-Livermore Library Receives
Gift from Dr. Rundus
by Lillian Brewington
Dr. Raymond J. Rundus, retired UNCP Professor Emeritus from the English,
Theatre, and Languages Department, recently donated his personal collection used
in researching Robeson County native, Joseph Mitchell. The collection includes
books, correspondence, and background information on Mr. Mitchell. Dr. Rundus
was instrumental in obtaining a collection of signed, first edition Joseph Mitchell books
from the Robeson County Public Library in 2002 . This collection is on permanent
loan and currently housed in the Sampson-Livermore Library's Special Collections
area ..
Dr. Rundus's longtime interest in Mr. Mitchell prompted him to write two books:
I
Joseph Mitchell: Pilgrim in Manhattan and Joseph Mitchell: A Reader's and Writer 's
Guide. Mr. Mitchell was born in Fairmont in 1908 where he lived until his relocation to
New York in 1928. He spent 58 years as a writer for The New Yorkerwhile maintaining
family ties in the Robeson County area.
Dr. Ray Rundus
Dr. Rundus received his Ph .D. from Wayne State University. He came to UNC
Photo by Bobby Ayers
Pembroke as chair of the English Department in 1970 and retired as Professor
Emeritus in 1996. Dr. Rundus served as President of the Friends of the Library for
two terms and continues to be a supportive member.
In addition to the two books on Joseph Mitchell , Dr. Rundus has published poetry and literary articles, and has presented
papers at local, state, and regional meetings. His major interests are literary journalism and the sonnet as a poetic form .
The usability and insight of Dr. Rundus's donation will be especially helpful to scholars researching Joseph Mitchell and
notable Robeson County literary figures. It can also be a useful tool for anyone conducting research and planning to publish .
Dr. Rundus carefully documented his research process as he wrote his two books. These materials can serve as a procedural
guide for the novice researcher. The Library is delighted to house this special collection.

Library Displays Highlight Material
by Nickie Blanton, Robert Arndt, and Michael Alewine
Waiting at the Circulation Desk to check out a book? Waiting for a
friend or group to show up for a study session? Check out the displays
while you wait. Sampson-Livermore Library has been developing displays
at the entrance and in the main reading room to highlight and make people
aware of various items in the collections.
"Our goal is to get people to read, especially students. They tend to only
read what is required for their courses," commented Robert Arndt,
Reference/Instructional Services Librarian. "The displays, hopefully, will
spark interest in students, staff, and faculty to read outside of their areas
of study." The displays feature book covers, portraits of the authors, and
the books themselves, as well as related media resources.
The displays were created as part of a collaborative process involving
several members of the library staff under the auspices of the Library's
Art, Displays, and Exhibits Committee.
Regular displays include those pertaining to UNCP campus authors
highlighting faculty publications, National Library Week , and the works of
guest authors at the Library's annual benefit and other programs sponsored
by the Friends of the Library.
The displays have also promoted national and regional events. For
Constitution Day, in September, the Library hosted a display that looked at
the national Constitution and "A Celebration of the Freedom of Speech/A
Celebration of Open Political Discourse," which highlighted resources that
discuss and sometimes openly criticize our leaders and our governmenta freedom that does not exist in many other parts of the world. While
various academic resources were displayed , controversial authors, such
as AI Franken , Rush Limbaugh, Michael Moore, and Michael Savage,
were also given a prominent place.
A recent display, "Banned in the USA," featured books that have been
banned in various parts of the United States. The books on the list were
banned for either graphic language, portrayal of minorities, religion, or sexual situations. Several of the books listed as banned are
considered classics such as Of Mice and Men, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and Fahrenheit 451 .
Sometimes the displays highlight seasonal events. Adisplay this past summer, "Baseball: America's Game" focused on the
various baseball materials in the Library's collection . Books on display included the baseball encyclopedias, history of women's
baseball, the Negro leagues, minor and textile leagues, and biographies of players and managers. The display included Dr.
Robert W. Reising's Jim Thorpe: Tar Heel. Dr. Reising is a retired Professor of English at UNCP.
Other displays have highlighted the Library's collection of material on Native Americans, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Hollywood ,
and science fiction and fantasy.
If you are in a quandary over what to read , check out one of the Library's displays. Suggestions for new displays are always
welcome; please contact one of the authors of this article.
