GOING TO THE DOGS Dogmen are the workers behind the sport of greyhound racing: they care for, breed, train, and race these unique dogs. Last August, the NCSU Libraries’ own Gwynn Thayer, Gwyneth Thayer associate head and curator of the Libraries’ Special Collections, talked about her book, Going to the Dogs: Greyhound Racing, Animal Activism, and American Popular Culture, and shared fascinating information on dogmen’s historic role in the sport as well as their role as animal caretakers. Adam Rogers (NCSU Librarian), Dr. Ola Harrysson (Industrial and Systems Engineering), Chuck Hull (3D printing inventor), and Dr. Michael Dickey (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering) joined our panel to discuss the future of 3D printing. WOMEN IN COMPUTER SCIENCE In November, the NCSU Libraries hosted a screening of the documentary SHE++, which exposes the alarming dearth of women in computer science and programming. For example, from 2000 to 2011, the number of first-year female undergraduates who expressed interest in a computer science major declined 79%. This statistic has ramifications for America’s ability to provide enough qualified graduates to meet the growing demand for workers in the field. Following the screening, a panel of NC State professors, students, and visiting guest Melanie Donny-Clark, senior software engineer at Google, discussed strategies for getting more young women interested in computer science. AMAZING ALUMNI AND STELLAR STUDENTS Alumni Richard Holcomb ’89 shared his career journey as part of the NCSU Libraries’ Amazing Alumni Series. After receiving an M.S. in Computer Science from NC State, Holcomb helped start multimillion-dollar technology companies and won awards as an entrepreneur and business leader. Then, in 2004, Holcomb changed course, purchasing the sustainable Coon Rock Farm in Hillsborough and becoming a leader in the sustainable agriculture movements in our community. a nonprofit Janice Odom, organization based director of the Caldwell Fellows on a penny-donation Program, Shreye model. As part of Saxena, and Ryan the Stellar Student O’Donnell. Series, O’Donnell and Saxena discussed their project and how they are employing the skills they are learning at NC State to build a better world. READ SMART The engaging Read Smart series continued, as NC State professors shared their expertise with readers in an ongoing book discussion series held at Cameron Village Regional Library. FIRESIDE TALES For the fourth year in a row, NCSU Libraries staff shared their talents in Fireside Tales, a holiday celebration with live music, stories, treats, and crafts for kids and their families. STUDENT SHORT FILM SHOWCASE In February, the NCSU Libraries hosted the fourth annual Student Short Film Showcase – two nights packed with extraordinary 16mm films, videos, and animations, all created by students, all under five minutes long. 3D PRINTING INNOVATORS Also in August, NC State scholars who use and study 3D printing shared the stage with Chuck Hull, the inventor of 3D printing, to talk about how 3D printing is transforming the way NC State brings ideas to life, both inside and outside the classroom. 2 | FOCUS - NCSU Libraries Student moderator, Emily Bissett and farmer Richard Holcomb.

LIBRARIES NEWS THE HUNT LIBRARY FEATURED IN PBS ARCHITECTURE TV SERIES, COOL SPACES We have all known for a long time that the Hunt Library was ready for prime time. But now so does the rest of the country. Late this spring the building was extensively profiled in the nationally syndicated PBS series, Cool Spaces! (http://www.coolspaces.tv), a new prime time program designed to “profile some of this century’s most exciting architecture in the U.S.” Sponsored by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and hosted by Boston architect and educator Stephen Chung, the new series focuses “on presenting cutting-edge, contemporary public buildings and spaces and the daring architects who push the boundaries of design and materials.” The program is appearing on over 100 public television stations across the country, with coverage in about 95% of households with televisions. However, you can see a trailer at go.ncsu.edu/coolspaces. The companion book to Cool Spaces!— also featuring the Hunt Library—can be from ordered from Amazon.com. Because the series is still under syndication, the Hunt Library episode is not yet available on the Internet. Clockwise from top left: Host Stephen Chung talks with a student on the Hunt Library’s monumental stairs, Gov. James B. Hunt, Jr. tells Chung about the importance of the building to all North Carolinians, architect Craig Dykers and Chung discuss LEED features of the building, Prof. Michael Young explains the interdisciplinary convergence that is the hallmark of the Hunt Library, Dykers and Chung relax in one of many unique spaces in the Hunt Library. NCSU Libraries - FOCUS | 3 LIBRARIES NEWS SEEING POSSIBILITIES FOR WEARABLE COMPUTING MAKING GOOGLE GLASS™ AVAILABLE TO RESEARCHERS ON CAMPUS User Experience Librarian Adrienne Lai demonstrates Google Glass for students gathered at the Apple Technology Showcase in the Hunt Library. “Of course we’d like to play with it. We’ll take it for a week and push it to its limits.” That was the plan when Sina Bahram and Arpan Chakraborty picked up the first Google Glass™ available from the Hunt Library. And when two ambitious Ph.D. candidates take a promising new technology for a workout in the Computer Science Knowledge Discovery Lab, interesting things are bound to happen. That’s the mission of the Libraries’ Technology Lending Service: make things happen by making it easy for students and faculty to put their hands on tools that are changing how we learn, research, and earn our livings. By mounting a small screen in a glasses frame and allowing the wearer to use its onboard computing, optical, and audio power, Glass hopes to fundamentally transform how we interact with computers. Imagine yourself on vacation in Japan, for instance. Then look at a traffic sign or a menu and ask your glasses to translate it for you. Trying a challenging home repair? Just log into a website and have a master carpenter use the tiny camera on your glasses to see exactly what you are looking at and guide you through the work. That’s the promise. Though Glass isn’t generally available yet, the Libraries was able to obtain one through Google’s Explorer program, allowing researchers on campus to get a head start working with it. Bahram and Chakraborty focused on two opportunities during their week with Glass. First, Glass has relatively limited computing power and requires developers to work with Google’s programming languages. Within the week, though, the two had the Glass exchanging data with external servers, supplying all the horsepower anyone could want and allowing fellow students to start programing with whatever language they thought would work best. This extra power and flexibility opened the door to a core research interest for the lab, using Glass to improve accessibility for the visually impaired. The technology can and will be transformative for people with limited vision, explained Bahram, who is blind himself. Imagine, he explained, having your glasses tell you “ . . . USING NOVEL AND INNOVATIVE METHODS” MY #HUNTLIBRARY WINS ALA AWARD My #HuntLibrary (d.lib.ncsu.edu/ myhuntlibrary) has won another American Library Association Cutting-Edge Technology in Library Services award, our third in the last four years. 4 | FOCUS - NCSU Libraries the cab you ordered has arrived by looking at the traffic in front of you, matching cars and colors against a database, and letting you know when the red 2013 Ford Fusion has pulled up to the curb. Or picking up a can and having your Glass scan its bar code and read out the contents. Or scanning a room as you enter, letting Glass use facial recognition software to check against photos in your iPhone contact list and tell you which of your friends are at the meeting or party. “Labs on campus might be hesitant at first to spend their research dollars on an unproven tool,” concludes Chakraborty. “But the Libraries’ Tech Lending Service lets them see how useful it is and move forward quickly.” Equally important, adds Bahram, “this is a great service for students who are going out and applying for a job at a startup. . . . When they can say—‘Yes, I’ve played with Google Glass for a semester; I understand how to develop for it’—that’s a big opportunity, a huge competitive advantage.” The social media application was honored along with three other programs nationwide “that are serving their communities using novel and innovative methods” and that can be replicated by other libraries to improve their services. Over 1,200 visitors to the new library used the app to upload over 3,600 of their favorite photos of the new library. The result: some great images for all to see and an outpouring of pride in the new facility. LIBRARIES NEWS AUTHOR MICHAEL POLLAN SPEAKS AT HUNT LIBRARY On May 16, the NCSU Libraries Friends of the Library and Quail Ridge Books & Music co-hosted Michael Pollan, bestselling author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, for a sold-out event in the Hunt Library Auditorium. Pollan read from his most recent book, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation, which features local barbecue pit-master Ed Mitchell (who was in attendance). Audience members then took the opportunity to ask Pollan his opinion on high-profile food topics such as the debate over gluten and the concern about genetically modified foods. The Friends of the Library appreciates its partnership with Quail Ridge Books & Music and looks forward to co-hosting more wonderful author events in the future!

LIBRARIES FACING BUDGET CUTS As part of the budget reductions levied on the university by the North Carolina General Assembly, the Libraries is absorbing a cut of more than $1.3 million for the fiscal year 2013/14, about 5% of our total budget. To meet these budget cuts, we have had to eliminate 27 positions and are currently canceling subscriptions to 642 journal titles. In addition, hours have been cut in the branch libraries, and the D. H. Hill Library and the Hunt Library are planning to substantially reduce the number of days per week when they are open 24 hours to meet the study and research schedules of students and faculty. Unfortunately, it is also possible that the university and the Libraries will face further cuts in the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2014.

To expand its collection strengths in Animal Rights and Welfare, the Libraries Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) has acquired an important collection of nearly 400 rare pamphlets and other works relating to animal advocacy, animal rights, and animal welfare. These materials enhance the Libraries’ collecting efforts in an interdisciplinary field that engages scholars across the humanities, human and veterinary medicine, and the sciences. Download the Android version at: go.ncsu.edu/libtourandroid The new collection is already being put to use in NC State classrooms. A selection of the pamphlets was used to introduce students to primary source materials in a Biology class on Human-Animal Interaction. SCRC staff is now working with faculty to develop a class assignment using the historical pamphlets and contrasting them with contemporary animal rights and welfare records from the collections for the upcoming Fall 2014 semester. The acquisition of these pamphlets builds on the NCSU Libraries’ leadership in this 6 | FOCUS - NCSU Libraries collecting area and augments existing archival processing initiatives including Acting for Animals: Revealing the Records of Animal Rights and Animal Welfare Movements, a 2011 grant that documents the animal welfare and the animal rights movements of the second half of the 20th century. The Acting for Animals grant was supported with funding from the Council on Library and Information Resources. Dr. Tom Regan, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at NC State, notes that “before the recent acquisition, the library’s holdings were the most comprehensive in the world. With the addition of these new materials, especially the ones from the nineteenth century, the library has strengthened its claim to preeminence.” The depth and breadth of the NCSU Libraries’ collections now provide a rich trove of primary resources to support research in animal advocacy, rights, and welfare from the 1870s to the present. EXHIBITS NEWS RECENT EXHIBITS Construction Documents: Building the James B. Hunt Jr. Library Photographs by Doug Van De Zande January–October 2014 D. H. Hill Exhibit Gallery Construction documents usually refer to a comprehensive set of architectural plans, but Raleigh photographer Doug Van de Zande created a different type of Construction Documents for the NCSU Libraries. From late 2010 through the fall of 2011 Van de Zande photographed the Hunt Library’s workers who moved earth, poured concrete, pulled wire, and clad the exterior with its iconic “fins.” These portraits, made with a traditional eight-by-ten inch view camera, offer a unique, behind-thescenes perspective on the people and process that brought the Hunt Library to life.

The Skyline Terrace is a popular sunny stop on tours of the Hunt Library. VISITING OUR LIBRARY OF THE FUTURE were involved in the planning and construction, and discuss service issues and post-occupancy lessons learned. Welcoming visitors has been a way of life at the James B. Hunt Jr. Library since its opening on January 2, 2013. In fact, more than 20,000 visitors have participated in the library’s hosted tours, and more than 2,000 inquisitive wanderers have downloaded the mobile tour for a private trek through our “Library of the Future.” The Hunt Library has become a world-wide sensation, with a presence on YouTube and visitors from over 50 countries including Australia, Japan, Senegal, Belarus, Poland, the UK, the UAE, France, Israel, Argentina, Germany, and Mexico. To meet demand, the library schedules regular walk-in tours and specialevent tours for alumni groups or University events such as Graduation Rather than diminishing over time, the demand for visiting the Hunt Library has been consistent, driven by community pride, word-of-mouth, and a consistent presence in the media. Since its opening, the library has been featured in more than 300 press pieces and won numerous awards. The visitors to the Hunt Library are a diverse group, ranging from architects and design firms to government agencies and community groups. Faculty, students, parents, and alumni are among the most prominent visitors, but librarians don’t lag far behind. In fact, the building has become a source of inspiration for librarians who are involved in their own building and renovation projects. To meet their specific needs, the Visitor Experience Team introduced 1 ½-day symposiums that allow participants to tour both the D. H. Hill and Hunt libraries, spend time with the IT staff, engage management who 8 | FOCUS - NCSU Libraries or University Open House. Tours are scheduled at times that are least disruptive for library users and are not permitted during reading days and finals.

Sponsored by EBSCO, the H.W. Wilson Foundation, and the American Library Association (ALA), the award has been given annually since 1946 to celebrate powerful campaigns that demonstrate the value of libraries to their users, funders, and donors. The Hunt Library communications were especially singled out for creating “a bold, new campaign that helped the community imagine ‘The Library of the Future.’” “Beyond the great technology, incredible facility and impressive media coverage, the true star of this campaign,” the award concluded, “was the 14 | FOCUS - NCSU Libraries way the community told the story. Students were asked to imagine themselves in the space, and they took to the challenge wholeheartedly.” For those of you in our great NCSU Libraries community who uploaded photos to My #HuntLibrary, who posted Hunt praises to your Facebook accounts, whose Hunt tweets showed up on our website, or who appeared in one of the many Hunt Library videos, a big thanks!

F or many, literary festivals are a chance to gather with like-minded book lovers and learn about the latest in hardcover fiction, or hear a discussion with a favorite author. Folks who came to the 2014 North Carolina Literary Festival, held this spring at the Hunt Library, had to come prepared not only to do those things, but also to make comic books, compete in a bar trivia quiz, hear some rock-n-roll, taste bourbon with a cookbook author, enjoy aerialist storytelling, and immerse themselves in 18 | FOCUS - NCSU Libraries multimedia art installations. They did get to meet their favorite author and get a book signed, but were encouraged to snap a ‘selfie’ and post it to Instagram as well. The North Carolina Literary Festival took place on April 3-6, 2014, attracted thousands of attendees from across the state, and hosted over 100 speakers, artists, musicians, activities, and entertainers including Pulitzer Prize winners Junot Díaz and Richard Ford, National Book Award winners James McBride and William T. Vollmann, and regional favorites Lee Smith, Wiley Cash, Jill McCorkle and Wilton Barnhardt. Award-winning videogame designer Davey Wreden spoke to the Festival’s theme (The Future of Reading), while UNCC professor Heather Marcelle Crickenberger dazzled festivalgoers with her Arcades Projections media installation in the Creativity Studio. The NC State College of Education offered a robust selection of children’s activities, which were supplemented by sponsored activities provided by PNC Bank and the Charlotte Hornets. Children’s authors including Jacqueline Davies, Kelly Starlings Lyon, and John Claude Bemis were on hand to read and sign books, and Festival favorite R.L.

Hope not.” If this recent student tweet captures some of what you felt when you walked into the space for the first time, then you now have professionals who share and salute your tastes. Students especially appreciate the functional spaces, the comfortable modern furniture, and the bright clear circulation provided by the interior design of the Hunt Library. The Hunt Library has been awarded one of this year’s ALA/IIDA Library Interior Design Awards. Sponsored by the International Interior Design Association and the American Library Association, the award honors “excellence in aesthetics, design, creativity, function, and satisfaction of the client’s objectives.” The Hunt Library was recognized as winner of the “Academic Libraries, Over 30,000 sq. ft.” category. The Hunt Library’s lead designer was Snøhetta; its executive architects were Clark Nexsen; and Another Inside Job consulted on interior design. Gwendolyn Emery—the NCSU Libraries’ Director of Library Environments—as well as other library staff, also played a significant role in envisioning and creating the interior of the building.

Presentations by: above: Lucinda Covert-Vail, Associate Dean, Public Services, New York University Libraries; Right: Brian Mathews, Associate Dean for Learning and Outreach, University Libraries, Virginia Tech. Far right: Nancy Foster, Senior Anthropologist, Ithaka S + R. The Second Annual Designing Libraries for the 21st Century Conference was the perfect venue for continuing the discussions—both theoretical and practical—of how to conceive and build great libraries in the age of the digital, the age of collaboration. And the new Hunt Library was the perfect venue to help inspire those conversations. Sponsored by the NCSU Libraries, the University of Calgary, and the Coalition for Networked Information, the summit brought together almost 250 library leaders, higher education visionaries, architects, and others from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia on October 6-8, 2013. After a preconference day on “Technology Planning for a 21st Century Academic Library” that explored the skills, staffing, and the culture of change needed to implement an ambitious technology program in an academic library, Vice Provost and Director of Libraries Susan Nutter opened the conference itself with a talk on “Realizing the Vision,” a recap 24 | FOCUS - NCSU Libraries of how the Hunt Library became a reality. Joan Lippincott, one of the profession’s most valued and grounded futurists, widened the discussion to the ways that library spaces can foster learning in this generation of students. A crowd favorite was Dr. Michael Young’s “One Professor’s View on the Hunt’s Research-Enabling Design—or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Library.” Professor Young, from NC State’s Department of Computer Science, was an early and dedicated partner in envisioning how technology in the Hunt Library could be a competitive edge for the university, especially in the Game Lab, which he now actively uses in his teaching, research, and as a key resource for the university’s Digital Games Research Center. The NCSU Libraries is continuing the discussion by providing periodic two-day “Library of the Future” symposia for professionals from libraries and other organizations who are considering or embarking on renovation or building programs of their own.

During the event, Chancellor Woodson and Susan K. Nutter remarked on the tremendous impact that the Hunt Library has had on NC State. They also expressed their gratitude to the Friends of the Library for their ongoing support and described how excited they were for the opportunity to showcase the Hunt Library to thousands of festival attendees from across the state. Donor Spotlight: Dr. Ricky and Kim Bloomfield “...Living up to its promise...” Young alumni make library support a rallying point A t 17, Dr. Ricky Bloomfield (’04) had pretty definite plans to attend a prestigious local private university. NC State only made it on his list as “backup school.” Until he visited. The Park Scholarship he was offered was a significant draw, but it was really the sense of excitement and what he calls “the immersion in innovation” that he experienced on his brief trip to campus that set the direction for the rest of his life. Just listing Ricky’s undergraduate majors and minors gives you some sense of what he cherished at NC State. There are four—Chemistry, Secondary Education, Saxophone Performance, and Spanish. He’s not one to be put in a box. That ability to range wide and deep across disciplines led quickly not only to a medical degree, but to the successful iOS apps company he began while still in medical school. Soon he was engrossed in figuring out new ways that mobile applications could help transform the medical field, letting him, as he explains, “combine my passion taking care of patients one at a time with helping out patients millions at a time with medical technology.” Dr. Bloomfield is currently Director, Mobile Technology Strategy for Duke Health Technology Solutions, as well as Assistant Professor in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at Duke University. Ricky’s wife, Kim Bloomfield (‘02 in Chemistry and Textile Chemistry), first learned about the Hunt Library on a tour while she was president of the Park Scholars Alumni Society, back when the building was still under construction. “I got excited about it,” she says with some understatement, given the couple’s ongoing passionate support of the new space. “Knowing how much Ricky loves technology and how much I loved studying up in the stacks at D. H. Hill, it was something we became interested in supporting.” “We are highly into education—and we have kids and want them to be excited about learning. It was a way that I could see getting my own children excited about NC State. And I was sure that the new iconic library would be a benefit to recruiting for the Park Scholarships.” Their two daughters, Ricky explains, will no doubt be NC State, Class of 2028. “When the Hunt Library was announced, packed full of technology—which is no surprise given NC State’s talents, areas of focus, and research—it really intrigued me,” Ricky continues. “We found out more about it and felt it was something we wanted to get behind.” Right after the building opened, they decided to sponsor and name a student workstation on the building’s 4th floor. The Bloomfield family, Ricky and Kim, with daughters Catherine and Miriam. Ricky explains their motivation: “we both went through the Park Scholars program, feel very fortunate in what we were given, and feel an obligation to give back to an institution that has given us so much. We want to see NC State continue to succeed, and the Hunt Library will serve as a rallying point for showcasing talent and innovation. For recruiting, there’s nothing better than taking prospective students to Hunt to show them what NC State can do and hint at the things that they themselves will do once they are here in proximity to all this innovation and technology. Giving back to something that will only make NC State stronger is a no-brainer.” Their message to young graduates is especially clear. Laughing that they are probably “skewing the age profile of NC State donors down a little,” Kim explains that “we subscribe to the idea that what you spend your money on shows what you believe in. When we began giving to NC State, it wasn’t large amounts—Ricky was still in med school. Recent graduates are sometimes intimidated by hearing about endowed faculty positions or big gifts. But smaller donations made regularly can make a big difference, and they’re more feasible for younger alumni. Our own gifts are not huge, and they did stretch our budget to begin with. But we realized that we can make a huge difference even if we can’t yet endow a chair or name a wing in the library. If recent graduates start from a younger age, this can really make a difference for decades before they enter their golden years.” As for their investment in the Hunt Library, both have been back many times since the space opened and both are happy, according to Ricky, that it is “living up to its promise as a space where you can let your creativity flow and combine the technologies in ways that are novel and interesting.” Like their own lives, “things are just getting started. The best is most certainly yet to come.” NCSU Libraries - FOCUS | 27 STAFF NEWS NCSU LIBRARIES FELLOWS The NCSU Libraries Fellows Program develops future leaders for academic libraries, with a focus on science, engineering, and digital librarianship, on diversity, and on library management.
