CAMPBELL UNIVERSITY FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY

Campbell University Friends of the Library President Dr. W. Lin Coker is honored to introduce Linda Anne Moore Robinson, M.D., to News-line readers. Guest speaker at the Annual Meeting of the Friends of the Library on Friday, November 1, 2013, Dr. Robinson is a familiar face to many in Buies Creek: she has been active in the commu-nity and a practitioner of family medicine in nearby Coats for more than 30 years, and a hospital staff member in both Erwin and Dunn. Dr. Robinson also is a Charter Member of Campbell’s College of Arts and Sciences Advisory Board. Dr. Robinson’s topic for the meeting, “The Changing Delivery of Health Care in Harnett County Since 1950,” is both timely and important, especially given the recent debut of Campbell’s School of Osteopathic Medicine, with a mission to produce primary care physicians to practice in rural and underserved areas of North Carolina and

the Southeastern United States. Dr. Robinson brings to her talk the confluence of her family’s long-standing place in the community and ties to Campbell University. Born in Canton, China, to Baptist missionaries, she received her Bachelor of Arts in History from Campbell in 1971, where her mother, for whom the Anne T. Moore Humanities Lecture is named, taught that very subject. In 1976, Dr. Robinson earned her Doctor of Medicine from UNC Chapel Hill and her North

Carolina license to practice. She completed her residency in the Family Practice Resi-dency Program in Asheville at Mountain Area Health Education Center, and obtained board certification in Family Medicine in 1979. Currently, Dr. Robinson is a Family Practitioner at Coats Medical Services, part of Harnett Health System. She also serves as Medical Examiner for Harnett County, a position she has held for more than 30 years,

Dear Friends,

As the new academic year begins, Campbell University Libraries is celebrating another major milestone in its history with the opening of the School of Osteopathic Medicine Library in the Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences. The charter class of medical school students and students in the Physician Assistant Program already have been frequenting this library in its first month of operation, enjoying its serene study environment and immersing themselves in its rich array of electronic research resources. Back here in Wiggins Memorial Library, the new academic year also brought about the intro-duction of several new initiatives. In response to student needs, library space available for 24-hour access has been expanded to include the second floor of Wiggins Hall. This added more than 200 seats to the original offering of 48 seats in the 24-Hour Study Lounge. To ensure that the need for quiet study space is met, the Microforms Room in the basement has been converted into a Silent Study Room furnished with individual study carrels. This space became ready for use in early October. The Microforms Collection has been relocated to the area immediately outside of this room. In addition to the physical refurbishing, the

library also underwent significant digital transformation with a redesigned library website. The new website provides easy access to frequently used resources as well as to customized research aids, and in a manner more aesthetically pleasing than it did before. In celebration of the beginning of a new era in health care education with the opening of the CU School of Osteopathic Medicine, Friends of the Library officers voted unanimously to invite Linda Anne Moore Robinson, M.D., to be the guest speaker at our upcoming annual meeting. In addition to being a medi-cal professional with lifelong passion for and service to Harnett County, Dr. Robinson holds a special place in our hearts as the daughter of Dr. Anne T. Moore, a former life member of the Friends of the Library. We hope you will join us at our next annual meeting on Friday, November 1, at 6 p.m. in Marshbanks Dining Hall.

Sincerely,

Borrée KwokDean of the Library

Visit www.lib.campbell.edu today, and you’ll find that Wiggins Memorial Library’s online portal to the vast world of resources and knowledge our patrons need has been renovated and redesigned. For several months, a small team of library information geeks collaborated to en-hance the site’s utility and aesthetics. The retooled site not only provides a cleaner, more concise presentation across various brows-ers and devices, but also makes most-used features more prominent and, in some cases, more preva-lent. A clickable “Ask” balloon, for example, pops in Campbell-orange throughout the site, ready to lead users to multiple means of contacting librar-ians and searching popular topics. The leaner site structure overall comes with more intuitive navigation, reducing the number of click-throughs needed to lead users to their destinations and eliminating the use of drop-downs. Atop the site’s main page, a rotating banner highlights new resources, upcoming events, and Campbell’s own Gaylord mascot presenting a “Tip of the Week.” Just below that, main categories have been streamlined down to: Research Tools, Services and Requests, and About

the Library. The oft-used OneSearch interface to library holdings remains front and center on the page, above Quick Links to commonly used functions such as Renew Materials, Room Reservations, Interlibrary Loan, Extended Campuses, and Online Education. On a vertical rail on the right side of the page, a new featured resource, “Tech for Checkout,” showcases Wiggins’ growing collection of technology items, including laptops, iPads, Nook readers, graphing calculators, and Ethernet cables. The revamped site launched on Monday, July 1, 2013, just short of two years since the last rede-sign in August 2011. In informal testing after the launch, students and faculty provided almost singularly positive feedback, with a few suggested tweaks the team immediately implemented. Dur-ing the last year, the library website logged an average of 1,260 page views daily. If you haven’t visited lately, we hope you’ll drop in on www.lib.campbell.edu soon and click around for a while!

William Tuck, Friends of the Library Immediate Past President and Associate Professor Emeritus of History, offers a fond memoriam below of Campbell Mathematics

Professor Dr. Jerry Taylor, who died January 15, 2013. A Lifetime Friend of the Library himself, Dr. Taylor retired from Campbell in 2007 after 46 years. He was a

2008 recipient of the North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics W.W. Rankin Award for outstanding contributions to math education.

Wise, witty, and such a good person, Jerry Taylor was one of my best friends. Without fanfare, Jerry did many good deeds for others, including and especially for those who are sometimes referred to as the least of those among us. One specific example. It was Christ-mas 1995. Jerry, Louise, Todd, Josh, and Nathan spent that Christmas in Ohio with Louise’s mother. On Christmas morning, while Louise and the boys played outside in the newly fallen snow, Jerry was inside making a telephone call to extend Christmas greetings to a friend who

was spending his Christmas all alone in Buies Creek, not with his family. This was the sort of thing Jerry did, and while it may seem to some to have been a trivial gesture, it meant a lot to that friend; he will remember Jerry’s kind-ness as long as he will remember any-thing. I can say this with such certainty because I am that friend whom Jerry called on that cold and lonely

Christmas morning so long ago. William P. Tuck Jan. 17, 2013; revised Feb. 6, 2013

Within Campbell University’s new, 96,500-square-foot School of Osteopathic Medicine, where classes began on August 5, 2013, sits a new medical library. Made possible by the Donald and Elizabeth Cooke Foundation, it is located on the second floor of the Leon Levine Hall of Medical Sciences. Stocked with a collection of print resources and periodicals, the library offers a quiet place for study and Internet access for research. Jane S. Moran, M.L.S., will step into her role as the new Medical Librarian on Oct. 16, 2013, bringing to Buies Creek many years of relevant experience and a mission to advise students on finding great resources. As Medical Librarian and Information Resources Special-ist at Southern Regional Area Health Education Center, Ms. Moran provided reference and train-ing services to Duke Family Medicine residents and other medical professionals as well as rotat-ing nursing and pharmacy students who were completing coursework and internships. She has

provided training on medical database search-ing, network usage, and Microsoft applications,

and provided library outreach services to small regional medical facilities. Ms. Moran also has as-sisted with the production of online tutorials, and has precepted physicians and regional medical professionals and students. Her immediate past position was as School Library Media Coor-dinator for Cumberland County

Schools, where she oversaw library functions and planned and administrated the media center. She also managed collection development funds, analyzed collections, and ordered materi-als based on curricular needs. Working with the public library, Ms. Moran opened a joint-use media center that is one of the nation’s first elementary school media centers to use RFID technology. If you have an interest in medicine, feel free to visit the CUSOM Library webpage at www.lib.campbell.edu/cusom, with links to frequently used Health Science databases, journals, medical society sites, and more.

others do not and can benefit from the Chrome-books on loan from the library. These lightweight computers connect to the Internet (via the Google Chrome browser, of course) and grant students access to their campus g-mail accounts, where file storage and exchange takes place. As students follow along online with library lectures in which elec-tronic resources are demonstrated and as they perform in-class exercises, retention of the material being presented increases.The Chromebooks, as used for our instructional efforts, move the library closer to its stated mission “to facilitate access to information resources that support learning, teaching, and research; to provide training for effective and ethical use of these resources; and to support the Campbell community through a state-of-the-art academic environment.”

Over the summer, University friend Ms. Gloria J. Gulledge generously donated $5,000 to Wiggins Memorial Library for a technology pur-chase. The result was 20 Google Chromebooks that now are used for library instruction beyond the confines of the library facility. Instructional librar-ians transport the Chromebooks in a rolling cart to buildings all over campus where library instruction sessions take place. While many students enjoy the privilege of owning a laptop they can bring to class,

and conducts quality assurance for Harnett Woods Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Dr. Robinson is a Commissioner and Mayor Pro Tem for the town of Coats. For nearly 24 years, Dr. Robinson was a partner in the two-physician Family Practice Clinic in Coats, from August 1979 to January 2003, and served on the staff at Good Hope Hospital in Erwin from 1979 until 2005, when it closed, including 24 years on its Utilization Review, Medical Records, and Quality Assurance Committee. She also served as Medical Director of Respiratory Therapy, Medical Director of Hospital Laboratory, Chief of Staff, and board member at Good Hope, and continues to serve on the board of Good Hope Mental Health. Dr. Robinson gained Locum Tenens privileges

at Betsy Johnson Regional Hospital in 1989, providing coverage for a group of four physicians. She moved to active staff there in 2002, and currently enjoys Community Associate privileges. Dr. Robinson also was a member of Betsy Johnson’s Utilization Review Quality Assurance Committee from 2004-2007, and served on its Medical Board from 2006 until January 2008. With her wealth of experience in family medicine and insights into rural health care, Dr. Linda Robinson will doubtless share keen observations about both at our annual meeting on November 1. We look forward to your attendance for an evening of fellowship with Friends and enlightenment and inspiration with the good doctor.

In addition to a new website (see page 3), students arriving on campus this fall found several other helpful changes. September 3, 2013 marked the first night that Wiggins Library’s second floor was available all night to studying night owls. The move came after requests from the SGA indicating that the exist-ing 24-Hour Study Area proved inadequate at times. Students may access the second floor with their ID cards from the front breezeway entrance and, with the rest of the Library locked, a security officer monitors the space from midnight till the Library reopens at 7:30 a.m.

The Library has a new print server, and Pharos is its name. Launched prior to the semester start, the system is easier to use than our previous sys-tem and has proven virtually glitch-free. Students using CreekBucks simply key in their WebAccess user name when they send a job for printing, then swipe their card at any of our Xerox printers for instant results. Cards are available at the Circula-tion Desk for the use of non-student community patrons. Whether charged to CreekBucks or paid in cash, printing costs remain at 5 cents/page black and white and 15 cents/page for color.

What Else Is New?

Game Night, Just Right!

Campbell students and Wiggins Library faculty and staff had a blast on Friday, September 27. At its third Game Night, the Library hosted more than 160 students who came to play board games, video games, corn hole, and more from 6:30 p.m. till 11:00 p.m. As these photos illustrate, the library is not all work and no play. We’re

also here to help students unwind before midterm mania takes hold!
