User-centered design impacts services, technology, finishes, lighting and furniture that includes every type of seating, from desk chairs to lounge chairs. A key part of socialization is food, and as a result, coffee and food service will be available on site. Urban sociologist Ray Oldenburg’s concept of the “third place,” a gathering place that provides a “home away from home” fits our focus on the “library as place.”**

When the first of the three buildings that make up FLC was constructed in 1940, the typewriter, the pneumatic tube and the dumbwaiter book lift were considered state-of-the-art tech- nological innovations. Today’s students need wireless access for laptops and tablets, as well as hardwired PCs in multiple locations for single, group or lab use. Updates and improvements to electrical systems will provide flexible wiring options that are not restrained by power outlets or data jacks.

Keeping an open mind, maintaining a positive outlook and remaining agile have been crucial in reconciling the project scope with funding parameters, which have considerably reduced the original renovation plan. To summarize, CUL will have a new collaborative computing wing, more technology space, a safer building, a new exhibit space for CUL Special Collections, a Starbucks café and several other refreshed areas.

In addition, the Centennial Reading Room will be restored for student use. The signature space, along with the Special Collections Reading Room, will be furnished with custom-made pieces from the Thos. Moser Company. This creates a legacy opportunity for all those who believe the library is a special place at SMU (see page 2).

CUL believes the most radical changes are still to come as libraries prepare to transform their services from transactional to teaching mode. These include rethinking the use of prime space for print collections; developing a concierge model of public service; and relocating and opening up Special Collections. One thing is certain: because student needs and preferences will continue to change rapidly, creating flexible spaces is paramount. In 2015, SMU celebrates the Year of the Student – a most auspicious time to get this library project underway.

‘An awfully big adventure’*Creating library space for 21st century students

It has begun! On Monday, June 22, 2015, the first sledge-hammer was swung and the long-awaited Fondren Library Center (FLC) renovation got underway. The first project to be initiated was asbestos abatement surrounding the demolition of the elevator joining the east and west buildings of Fondren Library. The event was celebrated with much fanfare before the contractors sealed off the area and got suited up for the abatement process.

As a reminder, in 1998, CUL celebrated the completion of a “linking” building, which joined its main library and Special Collections to the Science and Engineering Library, thus creating the 268,000-square-foot FLC we know today. Since that time, CUL has worked diligently to develop a vision, case statement and funding plan for a cohesive facility that responds to 21st- century users by addressing the transformation of information technology, changing student needs, librarians’ new roles and institutional growth.

Because the SMU curriculum is heavily based in the liberal arts and the social sciences, historical materials and tangible objects are highly prized research resources. For many scholars, there is no substitute for seeing the real thing, such as the original manuscripts with handwritten notes by renowned playwright Horton Foote, part of the DeGolyer Library’s

special collections (see page 5). Such treasures demand expanded and enhanced exhibit areas.

The renovation plan also responds to the demand for varied spaces for learning and research. Students often work in teams, using several workstations at a time, so increasing the number of group study areas was a given. When surveyed, however, students request more individual silent study space, which is why it was so important that the backbone for this project be the return of the former reading room to its original purpose as a quiet oasis for individual study.

Other modifications will allow the library staff to function more effectively while optimizing the user experience. Because staff members work in teams in a matrix fashion across the organi- zational structure, office space needed to be realigned. At the same time, librarians must have space where they can work with students in both large classroom settings and small tutorial sessions. As our students tell us, the advent of instant messaging reference services and mobile apps add a new dimension but cannot replace face-to-face interaction with a knowledgeable expert at the library.

Transforming Fondren for SMU’s second century requires consideration of its role as an active learning environment where social exchange sparks learning, creation and innovation.

Weber, an internationally renowned scholar on Spain, Mexico, Latin America and the U.S. Southwest, joined the SMU faculty in 1976. His wife says one of the first friends he made was Hopkins, who recently retired from SMU as Professor Emeritus and Altshuler Teaching Professor, as well as the inaugural recipient of the SMU Second Century Faculty Career Achieve- ment Award.

LaSalle, Associate Vice President and Executive Director of Public Affairs at SMU, says the gifts reflect the special connection to libraries the professors shared as researchers and scholars.

“Because Jim’s life revolves around books, I thought that naming a chair in his honor would be a fitting tribute to his intellectual interests,” says LaSalle, who serves on the advisory board of the Archives of Women of the Southwest. “Carol and I agreed to make dual gifts so that Jim and David, the best of friends, could in essence continue their ‘conversations’ in a welcoming library setting. Whoever occupies those chairs in the reading room is going to feel the spirit of these two remarkable professors!”

Her late husband loved libraries, particularly the DeGolyer Library, says Mrs. Weber, an attorney retired from the Univer- sity’s Office of Legal Affairs. She recalls one of his favorite T-shirts bearing the Jorge Luis Borges quote, “I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.”

Weber was the founding director of the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies at SMU. He also was the author or editor of over 70 scholarly articles and 27 books,

which have won numerous honors. After his death in 2010, his papers and books, many of which are related to his areas of expertise, were donated to DeGolyer Library. Today the

complete David J. Weber Library is among the DeGolyer’s holdings.

“It seems so fitting that I should donate a chair to the library in his memory,” Mrs. Weber says. “I think it will be a very special experience to be sitting in the

David J. Weber Chair, next to the James K. Hopkins Chair, in that beautiful reading room.”

Programming a concert performanceWhen graduate student Andrew England selected pieces for a spring perfor-mance by the Meadows Wind Ensemble, he started his search at Hamon Arts Library.

England, who earned a master’s degree in French horn performance in 2014 from Meadows School of the Arts, created a concert program of patriotic music as part of his coursework toward a master’s degree in conducting, which he received in May.

In a guest posting for the Hamon blog, he outlined his process:

“I began my search by listening to concerts of the President’s Own Marine Band that are easily accessible through the Naxos Music Library, an online resource pro-vided by the Hamon Arts Library. After establishing a basis of a few common pieces that I wanted on the concert program, I turned my attention to the unexpected. …There are many bibliographies with detailed lists of recommended repertoire avail-able in the Hamon Arts Library.”

His program included selections by George Gershwin, Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man and, as that unexpected note, John Adams’ Chamber Symphony, inspired, in part, by classic cartoons.

England says the library’s vast resources are “invaluable when programming and studying music for performance.”

Graduate student Andrew England 14’, 15’ relied on a multitude of Hamon Arts Library resources to tailor a spring concert performed by the Meadows Wind Ensemble.

Fondren Centennial Reading Room: Leaving a legacy for future generations of students and faculty

The centerpiece of the Fondren Library Center renovation is the restoration of the reading room to its former grandeur. Original architectural details will be integrated with custom finishes, furnishings and lighting specially designed by iconic American craftsman Thomas Moser.

In honor of SMU’s centennial celebration, the University has commissioned handcrafted Moser tables and chairs to re-establish Fondren Centen- nial Reading Room as one of the campus’ signature spaces. A plaque mounted on each named table or chair will recognize the donor or honor a current or former student, an influential faculty member or an SMU family.

Many of the stories behind the gifts made so far are as distinctive as the hardwoods used to craft the elegant pieces.

Jane Wetzel ’52 has purchased a chair to commemorate the students who have found academic sustenance and employment at the library.

“I have a special place in my heart for all those who work in the library as part of their education,” she says.

When she was a student at SMU from 1948 to 1952, she not only studied and socialized at the library – now known as Fondren Library West – but she also worked there.

“The salary I earned enabled me to stay in school, and I’ve always been very grateful for that opportunity,” says Wetzel, who received a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Dedman College of Humanities and Sciences. In 2009 she was awarded the Dedman Family Distin- guished Graduate Award.

Her efforts on behalf of her alma mater include serving on the executive boards of Dedman College and Perkins School of Theology, and

the board of the John G. Tower Center for Political Studies. She is also a member of the advisory board of the Archives of Women of the Southwest at DeGolyer Library.

“I’ve always loved the libraries and supported them,” she says. “The Moser furniture is priced reasonably so that even a recent graduate can afford to make a donation. I hope many other alumni will take advantage of this opportunity.”

Each gift tElls a story

For Dana Wilcox Ayres ’04, Executive Director of SMU Program Services, the gift delivers a heartfelt message.

“When thinking about a fifth anniversary present for my husband, I was stuck; then I heard about the new chairs in the Centennial Reading Room,” she says. “Wood is the traditional fifth anniversary gift, and the chairs are beautiful. I was inspired!”

Although they did not meet at SMU, Dana and her husband, Brad Ayres ’01, ’02, spend a lot of time on campus. “A gift in his honor at the library, which really is the heart of the University, makes a lot of sense,” she says. “I’m proud to support SMU in this meaningful way.”

Patricia Ann LaSalle ’05 and Carol B. Weber ’88 have named chairs for their husbands – James K. Hopkins and the late David J. Weber, respectively – as a lasting legacy to their longtime friendship and years as SMU Department of History colleagues.

Naming opportunities• Reading chair – $500

A new view of Horton Foote

5

Family relationships, traditions and the redeeming power of love, the touchstones of Texas playwright Horton Foote’s work, are themes that speak a universal language, according to Xueying “Ruth” Wang, a doctoral candidate in English and American literature

at the School of Foreign Studies at Nanjing University in Nanjing, China.

Thanks to a research travel grant awarded by DeGolyer Library and the William P. Clements Center for Southwest Studies, Wang spent a month on campus in the spring studying primary resources in the Horton Foote papers at the DeGolyer for her dissertation on the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright.

Wang learned about the long-standing grant program through Robert Haynes, an English professor at Texas A&M International University in Laredo and the author of The Major Plays of Horton Foote: The Trip to Bountiful, The Young Man from Atlanta and The Orphans’ Home Cycle, a critical work examining the links between Foote’s

strong Texas connections and his literary art. She had discovered Haynes’ work while conducting research, and they began an email correspondence.

Haynes, who received travel grants in 2006 and 2010 to pursue his research on Foote at the DeGolyer, put her in touch with Ruth Ann Elmore, assistant director of the Clements Center and manager of the grants program. Elmore worked with Wang on the logistics and paperwork.

Wang speaks English with ease and says she was drawn to the humanity of Foote’s writing.

“I particularly like the way he writes about family issues,” she says. “He is not overtly political, but he writes about how families face changes in society and the importance of the love we have for each other.”

The opportunity to see and touch Foote’s photographs and handwritten manuscripts at the DeGolyer “made him feel so close; it was like he was in front of me,” she says.

Librarian Cynthia Franco, the DeGolyer’s expert on the Foote collection, assisted the visit- ing scholar in making the best use of her limited time at the library. In addition to poring over his papers, Wang viewed hours of movies, teleplays and other video recordings of his work, most for the first time.

“The time I spent at the DeGolyer was a great experience and benefited my future aca- demic career,” she says. “The materials provided valuable information on the American Southern soundscape.”

While mining the literary wealth of Foote’s writing, Wang expanded her faint knowledge of Texas history. “I didn’t know what an oil well looks like,” she says. “It has been interesting to read about characters as the state transitioned from farming to industry.”

When her dissertation is completed, Wang intends to not only publish the first critical work about Foote by a Chinese scholar, but she also plans to help bring his plays to the stage in her homeland.

“Seeing the work on stage is so different from reading it,” Wang says. The play comes to life “when you see all the details you had to imagine when reading it.”

Colorful abstract windows by Texas art legend Octavio Medellín landed at Dallas Love Field Airport in the spring. Beginning in mid-March, four sections of the restored Capanille Window were suspended in front of the airport’s tick-eting plaza. Formerly encased in the bell tower of Trinity Lutheran Church in East Dallas, the spectacular win-dows almost didn’t survive the wreck- ing ball.

On a cold February day in 2013, Sam Ratcliffe ’74 met sculptor David Hickman at the church, which had been sold and was about to be razed to make way for the new White Rock YMCA. However, Hickman and a handful of like-minded preservation-ists were determined to save the distinctive fused-glass artwork cre-ated in 1960.

“I was contacted because they knew we had Octavio’s papers,” says Ratcliffe, head of the Jerry Bywaters Special Collections at Hamon Arts Library.

Thanks to the intervention, the YMCA donated the windows to the City of Dallas. The four panels were painstakingly removed from the brick tower and restored in the Deep Ellum studio of artist Michael van Enter, who admires Medellín as an arts pioneer.

To the amateur eye, the abstract pieces look like stained glass, but, technically, they are fused glass. In the 1950s, Medellín concocted a method of coating slices of glass with glazes similar to those used in ceramics and firing the pieces in a kiln.

An artistic force in sculpture, ceramics, glass and other media, “Octavio was not only a great artist in his own right, but he influenced so many other artists as a teacher, mentor and friend,” Ratcliffe says.

Hickman, an accomplished artist now living in Santa Fe, New Mexico, studied with Medellín in the 1960s. Medellín taught at SMU in the mid-1940s, and in the 1960s instructed art majors from the University, as well as other students, in his studio at the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts School. When the museum was located in Fair Park, it operated the school from 1941 to 1970.

Preserving Texas art, one Octavio Medellín window at a time

Medellín died in 1999 at 91.

A vast cache of his artwork, photographs and documents is part of the Bywaters Special Collections. Curator Ellen Buie Niewyk ’78 recently finished processing the papers and is now refining the finding aid for researchers. The collection was established in 1989 and continued to grow with additional gifts from family and friends through 2015.

“It has been so rewarding to see Octavio Medellín rediscov-ered,” says Niewyk, who is currently working on an exhibition that will feature some preliminary sketches for the windows.

Central University Library’s Digital Collections offers a selec-tion of images that cover a significant swath of Medellín’s prolific career, from his studies of the Maya-Toltec temples and carvings in Mexico in 1938 through semi-retirement in the 1970s. Octavio Medellin: Works of Art and Artistic Processes may be viewed online at http://digitalcollections.smu.edu/all/cul/med/.

“Color scheme for solar screen, 9 ft. x 35 ft., Campanile of the Trinity Lutheran Church, Dallas, Texas,” reads a note attached by artist Octavio Medellín to his colored pencil sketch on paper, circa 1960, now part of the Jerry Bywaters Special Collections at Hamon Arts Library.

Octavio Medellín (left) continued to experiment and create long after he officially retired from teaching. In March 1991, Sam Ratcliffe (right), Head of the Jerry Bywaters Special Collections, visited the artist at his home and studio in Bandera, Texas. This photograph shot by Ratcliffe’s wife, Cristi, is part of the Medellín archive housed in the Bywaters Special Collections at Hamon Arts Library.

Jeff Rice: SMU Libraries Executive Boardvaluing community assets as reflections of those they serve

Winslow ’06, ’09 and Ashley Rice and son Justin. She and her husband, attorney Darrel A. Rice ’72, often discussed school reading assignments with their children.

“We encouraged them to read widely, and to this day, they are all devoted to literature,” she says.

Reading continues to be a favorite pastime. Rice belongs to two book clubs, and while she prefers nonfiction, particularly American history, she also enjoys good fiction. A recent favor-ite is All the Light We Cannot See, which won a 2015 Pulitzer Prize for author Anthony Doerr.

Although she is not an SMU alumna – she earned a degree in journalism from the University of Arkansas – she is an honor-ary Mustang through marriage and parenthood. While daughter Chandler was an undergraduate, Rice served on the SMU Parent Leadership Council and several committees. Chandler later followed in her father’s footsteps to Dedman School of Law.

“It has been really interesting to see how the libraries have evolved as a result of new technology,” she says.

Rice credits Gillian M. McCombs, Dean and Director of Central University Libraries, for shaping an environment that is “nimble and responsive” to students’ changing needs. She comments, “Gill really adapts to the times and the students, and that has been wonderful to witness.”

The historical and cultural impact of SMU’s libraries extends beyond campus boundaries, says Jeffrey “Jeff” Rice.

“It’s so important for a library to reflect the community it serves,” she says. “Through the Archives of Women of the Southwest, the papers of Stanley Marcus and Caroline Rose Hunt, and other significant materials, SMU’s libraries are pre-serving local and regional history that will be studied for generations,” she says.

Now in her second term on the SMU Libraries Executive Board (LEB), Rice was encouraged to join by good friend and fellow board member Marjorie Currey ’55. “It’s an interesting opportunity to meet a cross-section of people – artists, writ-ers, scholars – who share a love of reading and appreciation for SMU’s libraries,” she says.

Rice has always held libraries in high esteem. Books brought the world to her doorstep in the tiny Arkansas farming com-munity where she grew up. “My parents always encouraged me to read, and I read a lot as a child,” she remembers. “We would go to the county library, so I learned the value of librar-ies at an early age.”

As a child, she was not fond of her unusual name. Her mother selected the traditionally male moniker because she wanted her daughter to have a name people remembered. And she was right: “Jeff” is memorable.

While Rice did not pass along her given name, she did impart an appreciation for literature to daughters Chandler Rice

Honoring a teacher, writer and editor par excellence

Willard Spiegelman, editor-in-chief of the renowned Southwest Review, received the sixth annual SMU Literati Award at Tables of Content on March 28.

Spiegelman, now in his 45th year in the SMU English Department, where he is the Hughes Distinguished Professor, has won grants and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities, as well as the Amy Clampitt, Guggenheim and Rockefeller Foundations.

An acclaimed author in his own right, Spiegelman was appointed editor of Southwest Review in 1984, the first faculty member to fill that role in 40 years. Under his guidance, the prestigious literary journal, now in its 100th year, has continued to showcase both famous and emerging talents of American letters. In 2005 Spiegelman won the Nora Magid Prize from PEN for excellence in literary editing.

Following the award presentation, guests were treated to a preview of Spiegelman’s forthcoming book, Senior Moments.

Nancy McMillan Dedman ’50 served as honorary chair for the annual fundraiser. Proceeds benefit the grants program of the Friends of the SMU Libraries, which provides funds for the purchase of much-needed materials and equipment for all SMU libraries (see page 12).

Carlton Adams and his fondness for Fondren

When Student Body President Carlton Adams ’16 knew he would be attending SMU, his alumni sisters filled him in about the places where he would be spending a lot of time on campus.

“Fondren Library Center was definitely on that list,” says the senior economics major and Hunt Leadership Scholar. “As a first-year student, it was fun to discover all the little nooks and crannies in the library. You don’t really have that kind of experience until you go to college.”

His grandmother, Lindalyn Adams ’52, also has influenced his appreciation for SMU’s libraries. Mrs. Adams is well known in Dallas for her civic leadership and historic preservation efforts. She served on the advisory board and her papers are housed in the Archives of Women of the

Southwest in the DeGolyer Library.

The self-proclaimed “West Stacks guy” looks forward to studying in Fondren after the improvements are finished. “Fondren is already well-utilized. Many of us already spend so much time in the library doing research and studying,” he says. “It’s always fun to run into friends there. I think the addition of Starbucks and expanded seating will make it an even more popular destination.”

And the timing of the remodeling project couldn’t be better, he says. “It’s so cool that the renovation started during the Year of the Student.”

Student Body President Carlton Adams ’16 was among the campus celebrities reading passages from Station Eleven at the 2015 Common Reading program launch on May 4.

CUL sets the stage for students’ academic success

From the beginning, SMU students learn the value of the University’s libraries in shaping their

academic success.

“For first-year students, library anxiety is real,” says Hollie Gardner, Central University

Libraries’ user experience librarian. “Most of their experience has been with high school

libraries and/or public libraries, and they’re not familiar with academic libraries.”

Gardner quickly becomes a familiar face to new students through her participation in Academic Advising Registration and Orientation, or AARO. The two-day crash course on all things SMU introduces incoming students and their parents to the people and resources that play pivotal roles in under-graduate education.

“The libraries are where they come to apply the knowledge they gain in class, making their own discoveries and becoming innovative in their learning,” she says. “At AARO I make it clear

that librarians are here to help them succeed.”

Through CUL, students have access to approximately 380 online databases, and learning to use those essential resources efficiently and appropriately is crucial.

“CUL is the Netflix of scholarly resources,” she says. “We stress to students that most of our databases are not available through Google, and we teach them how to find the best research for their papers and projects.”

During the academic year, CUL partners with Residence Life and Student Housing in bringing the Residential Commons (RC) living-learning concept to life. For example, Gardner holds Research Rescue workshops in RC classrooms before finals, offering last-minute assistance with research and citations.

“Last year was the first year the RC model was adopted for all residence halls, so we experimented, trying to figure out what works,” Gardner says. “CUL’s strategy is to find effective ways to bring the libraries to the Residential Commons.”

SMU libraries made the list of “Top 10 hidden gems of SMU” that Reece Graham, a 2015 AARO Leader and junior studying journalism and theatre, shared with incoming students.

Writing on the SMU New Student Orientation blog, he lauded librarians as the libraries’ best resources:

“It’s a no-brainer: you’re in college now, so you’ll be spending time in the library. The librarians at the SMU libraries are here to help you spend less time searching for what you need, giving you more time to study or write that paper. They can give you access to special collections, help you navigate the extensive online research databases that SMU offers, and much, much more!”

Norman the pig made his SMU debut during the animal ther-apy stress-relief sessions sponsored by the Central University Libraries’ Campus Engagement Committee during finals week each semester.

The two-year-old Juliana pig, a certified therapy animal with a repertoire of 20 tricks, hammed it up at Fondren on May 6, then took his show on the road to Hamon Arts Library on May 7. More than 268 visitors were delighted by his skate-board-ing, bell-ringing and other feats.

Mike Castellucci of WFAA-TV visited Fondren to capture the performing pig’s interaction with students in a segment that aired on the afternoon news. As one student told the reporter, “I think Norman is some kind of wonderful, and I feel like the good vibes from the pig are transferring to my heart. I love it.”

The “Paws and Take a Break” therapy dog session that has become a highly anticipated finals-week treat paved the way for Norman on May 4. More than 120 visitors spent quality time with the cuddly canines and volunteers from Paws Across Texas. SMU’s Altshuler Learning Enhancement Center also was a partner in the event.

Happy birthday! Love, DavePulitzer Prize-winning humorist Dave Barry took part in SMU’s centennial celebration

this spring. He was on campus to discuss and sign copies of his latest book, Live Right and Find

Happiness (Although Beer Is Much Faster), as a speaker for the Authors LIVE! Series

co-sponsored by Friends of the SMU Libraries. In his new book, the prolific author

and former newspaper columnist offers his unique take on subjects ranging from

Google Glass to Brazilian soccer to Vladimir Putin. Before addressing the near-

capacity crowd at Highland Park United Methodist Church, he

recorded a “Happy 100th Birthday, SMU!” message. Along with

celebrities such as ABC’s Robin Roberts and historian Doris Kearns

Goodwin, Barry appears in a video that encourages all members

of the University community to wish SMU happy birthday. See the

video at smu.edu/happybirthday.

All in the CUL family“Love Your Library” was the theme of the Central University Libraries’ tent set up on the Main Quad on October 25 as part of SMU’s annual Family Weekend. CUL staff provided fun activities and served breakfast to visiting parents, students, alumni and friends. As part of the festivities, alumni were asked to share what they liked most about SMU, and for these three Mustangs – (from left) Amy Carver ’94, Director of Friends of the SMU Libraries and CUL Marketing and External Communications; Pamalla Anderson ’89, Head of Public Services, DeGolyer Library; and Paulette Mulry ’83, CUL Director of Development – the answer was easy: Central University Libraries!

Members of the SMU Libraries Executive Board learned about the one-of-a-kind collections held by some of this country’s most significant scholarly repositories when they toured Washington, D.C., April 30-May 2.

Their journey started with a trip to the National Archives, where they were greeted by David Ferriero, the 10th Archivist of the United States. Afterward, Sam Anthony, special assistant to Ferriero, led a guided tour of the exhibition “Spirited Republic – Alcohol in American History.”

The group’s trip continued at the Smithsonian’s Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology. Lilla Vekerdy, Head of Special Collections, showed the group a sampling of the library’s rare holdings, including one of the first pop-up books.

The group’s final destination was the Folger Shakespeare Library, where Daniel DeSimone, Eric Weinmann Librarian, guided a behind-the-scenes exploration of its stately Gail Kern Paster Reading Room and paintings collections.
