Fall 2012 - George A. Smathers Libraries - University of Florida

For Friends of the George A. Smathers Libraries, University of Florida Fall 2012 

Melvyn and Joan New donate 

personal rare book collection 

Melvyn and Joan New have donated a portion of their personal collection of books 

to the University of Florida George A. Smathers Libraries’ Department of Special 

and Area Studies Collections, 544 individual titles in 944 volumes. The collection 

is centered on Professor New’s area of specialization, eighteenth-century English 

literature, and most significantly on Laurence Sterne (1713-1768) and his writings, 

but there are also titles from the seventeenth century to the present. The collection 

was evaluated at close to $200,000. Its most valuable item, perhaps, is the 9-volume 

set of Sterne’s most famous work, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy (1760- 

1767), with the rare concealed second editions of volumes 7-8; and another 

9-volume set, with a concealed second edition of volume 4. 

There are also two first editions of Sterne’s second great fiction, A Sentimental 

Journey (1768), including a copy of the rare large-paper edition designed for 

subscribers, and first editions of all seven volumes of his Sermons (1760-1769). The 

real strength of the collection, however, is in its multiple editions of these works, 

providing an important bibliographical history from the eighteenth century through 

numerous reprintings into the modern era. Hence there are more than 50 different 

editions of Sentimental Journey, alone, many finely illustrated. There are also 

translations of Sterne’s works into French, German, Russian, Italian, Dutch, Spanish 

and Japanese. When the scholarly journal, Eighteenth-Century Intelligencer, reported 

this donation to the profession, it remarked that it “constitutes the most valuable 

holdings for the study of Sterne west of Shandy Hall in Coxwold, Yorkshire (Sterne’s

The rare 1760-1767 

edition of The Life and 

Opinions of Tristram 

Shandy, Gentleman, 

(London). Nine 

volumes bound into 

four in original full 

leather bindings with 

the spines rebacked in 

modern calf leather. 

As noted by Professor 

New, they are an 

unusual combination 

of signed (and 

unsigned) first and 

second editions. 

Mobile Applications

and east of the ECCO (Eighteenth- 

Century Collections Online).” 

Italo Calvino has referred to Tristram 

Shandy as the “undoubted progenitor 

of all avant-garde novels of our 

century.” Thomas Mann has suggested 

the influence of the work on his great 

Joseph saga, and James Joyce has paid 

tribute to Sterne in explaining the 

origins of his inexplicable Finnegans 

Wake. Goethe and Nietzsche both 

thought of him as the primary 

genius of English fiction, and more 

recently Salman Rushdie in Midnight’s 

Children, Juan Goytisolo in Juan 

the Landless, and Carlos Fuentes in 

Christopher Unborn have all written 

major fictions of national identity 

with acknowledgements to Sterne’s 

influence. It is no accident that Virginia 

Woolf herself edited A Sentimental 

Journey, and was one of the first to 

recognize in Sterne’s writing what she 

wanted to achieve in her own highly 

stylized prose. Perhaps no other writer 

of eighteenth-century fiction has 

produced so stellar a progeny. 

The University Presses of Florida has 

published eight volumes of Professor 

New’s Works of Laurence Sterne, 

edited by himself and colleagues from 

England, Canada, and the Netherlands; 

a ninth and final volume, The 

Miscellanies, is in progress. The work of 

more than thirty-five years, the Sterne 

edition lies behind the collection now 

given to the Libraries, in that the books 

were gathered with an eye toward 

duplicating the books in Sterne’s own 

library, not only classics like Rabelais 

and Cervantes, Burton and Montaigne, 

but a good many esoteric titles of 

works that he wove into his own 

writings. In addition, in support of 

the edition of his forty-five surviving 

sermons, there are many theological 

works, adding to the fine collection 

already in the Harold and Mary Jean 

Hanson Rare Book Collection, thanks 

to the efforts of Professor Aubrey 

Williams and Professor New, who 

spent many hours of their careers at UF 

combing through rare book catalogues 

and ordering books for the Libraries. 

In those years, professors indeed 

ordered books; English literature 

of the Renaissance and eighteenth 

century was taught by the English 

department; and the idea of preserving 

and passing on the great works of our 

literary heritage was believed to be 

our primary mission in the University. 

By housing their collection with the 

University of Florida’s Department of 

Special and Area Studies Collections, 

the New family hopes it will be there 

when students once again discover 

that Shakespeare and Sterne are more 

valuable to their lives and educations 

than Spiderman. 

Libraries hold open house 

An open house was held on Friday, October 5 in the Smathers 

Library Grand Reading Room to showcase rare and unique 

items from the Department of Special and Area Studies 

Collections as well from other select collections in the 

Libraries. Department curators from the Harold and Mary 

Jean Hanson Rare Book Collection, P.K. Yonge Library of 

Florida History, Baldwin Library of Historical Children’s 

Literature, Popular Culture, Archives & Manuscripts 

(University Archives, Architecture Archives, political 

papers, etc.), Latin American, Asian, African and Judaica 

collections were on hand to show and discuss the materials 

with attendees. Also present were representatives of the Map 

& Imagery Library, Government Documents collection, 

the Health Science Center Library and the Panama Canal 

Museum Collection. Attendees included friends of the 

libraries and the general public. 

2 r Chapter One 

The Grand Reading Room recently 

underwent a renovation with the 

removal of a temporary wall that 

had blocked off the processing area, 

the installation of display cabinetry 

and the refinishing of the long tables 

previously used for processing 

materials, thus increasing the 

available space for researchers.

Libraries receive National Leadership Award 

for library and museum collaboration 

The George A. Smathers Libraries have 

been awarded $477,312 in National 

Leadership grant funding from the 

U.S. Institute of Museum and Library 

Services (IMLS) with a matching 

amount of $541,976 provided jointly 

by the University of Florida and 

the Libraries. The award was one 

of three in Florida and the fourth 

largest nationally out of 52 awards 

granted from 211 applications. Dean 

of University Libraries and principal 

investigator (PI) Judith C. Russell 

along with co-PI, Associate Dean for 

Technology and Support Services 

Rachel Schipper, will lead the project 

implementation. 

The project was conceived as the 

result of the transfer of materials from 

the Panama Canal Museum to the 

Libraries when the museum closed 

in March 2012. The grant award 

will enable the Libraries to evaluate, 

preserve and integrate items from the 

former Panama Canal Museum. The 

transfer of over 20,000 objects, photos, 

books and maps was completed 

in July and the items will undergo 

conservation and select digitization. 

They will be accessible to scholars 

and other visitors to the Libraries and 

have the opportunity to be viewed in 

national/international exhibitions. The 

Libraries, along 

with collaborative 

partners, will 

lead a multi- 

institutional centennial celebration 

of the opening of the Panama Canal 

in 2014-2015 to promote public 

understanding of the achievement 

and the heritage resources available 

for scholarly, educational and civic 

purposes. 

“We are so grateful to the founders 

and patrons of the Panama Canal 

Museum for entrusting us with this 

collection and partnering with us to 

preserve it and make it accessible,” 

said Judith Russell. “There is a lot of 

work to do, and the grant provides 

additional resources to help us make 

the integration successful and the 

centennial celebration outstanding. 

Congratulations to everyone who has 

worked so hard and so well to make 

this award possible,” she added. 

Formal partners include the U.S. 

National Archives and Records 

Administration and UF partners, the 

Florida Museum of Natural History 

and the Samuel P. Harn Museum of 

Art. Other UF partners include the 

Samuel Proctor Oral History Program, 

Center for Latin American Studies, 

Center for the Humanities and the 

Public Sphere, College of Business, 

College of Fine Arts, College of 

Engineering, Health Science Center 

and Legal Information Center, as 

well as venue support for cultural 

events from the Phillips Performing 

Arts Center. Additional non‐UF 

collaborating institutions are the 

Museum of Science and Industry 

(Tampa), Nationaal Baggermuseum 

in Sliedrecht (the Netherlands), the 

Natural History Museum of San Diego, 

Museo del Canal Interoceánico de 

Panamá, the Panama Canal Society 

and the Association of Southeast 

Research Libraries. 

“The IMLS grant is significant not 

only for its high monetary value, but 

also because it validates the prolonged 

efforts of the Panama Canal Museum 

and the University of Florida to 

preserve an important piece of United 

States and Panamian history and 

provides a model for the nation on 

how small museums and libraries can 

be integrated into larger institutions,” 

said Joseph J. Wood, former president 

of the Panama Canal Museum. 

“Everyone who has participated in 

the establishment and growth of the 

Museum since 1998 is extremely 

gratified that our mutual efforts with 

the University of Florida will allow for 

the continued growth and preservation 

of the Museum’s collection, one that 

will remain as a long-lasting tribute 

to all the men and women of all 

nationalities who participated in the 

construction, operation, defense and 

expansion of the Panama Canal,” 

added Wood. 

The Smathers Libraries were also 

acknowledged for this unique 

library-museum collaboration 

on September 14 with the 2012 

Innovation Award from the Northeast 

Florida Library Information Network 

(NEFLIN). The award recognizes an 

innovative program or service that 

has demonstrated impact on the 

community a NEFLIN library serves.

Museum Collection currently digitized

The Institute of Museum and Library Services 

is the primary source of federal support for 

the nation’s 123,000 libraries and 17,500 

museums. Through grant making, policy 

development, and research, IMLS helps 

communities and individuals thrive through 

broad public access to knowledge, cultural 

heritage and lifelong learning.

Friends of the George A. Smathers Libraries 

Includes gifts received by the George A. Smathers Libraries from 

October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2012 

The libraries of the University 

of Florida form the largest 

information resource system in 

the state of Florida and include 

eight libraries. Seven are in the 

system known as the George A. 

Smathers Libraries, and one (Legal 

Information Center) is attached to 

the law school’s administrative unit. 

Over the past 100 years, faculty 

and librarians have built hundreds 

of specialized collections, now 

totaling more than five million 

volumes, printed in practically 

every written language by 

publishers throughout the world. 

The George A. Smathers Libraries 

at the University of Florida include 

specialized collections in science, 

architecture, art, history, languages, 

music and health sciences. The 

collections cover all areas of 

contemporary knowledge, from 

agriculture to zoology and from 

philosophy to history. The libraries 

serve all of the university’s faculty 

and students, but each has a special 

mission to be the primary support 

of specific colleges and degree 

programs. The libraries support the 

very best educational, research and 

service performance by university 

faculty and students, using the 

latest online technology and timehonored 

methods of collection and 

preservation.

Parents Library Endowment 

Fund supports students 

by Diane Bruxvoort 

Senior Associate Dean 

The Parents Library Endowment 

Fund is a general library endowment 

intended for the Libraries’ “greatest 

needs,” and the endowment fulfills 

that goal beautifully. The intent each 

year is to use funds generated by the 

endowment for items that directly or 

indirectly benefit students. There were 

a variety of small purchases in the past 

year for materials and supplies for 

programming and exhibits, but two 

major initiatives were directed at the 

students’ immediate needs. 

The first major purchase was for 

science textbooks to put on course 

reserve at the Marston Science 

Library (MSL). Each semester MSL 

purchases multiple copies of several 

dozen science textbooks that are used 

by hundreds of students. Library 

funding is available for some of these 

purchases, but is insufficient, so an 

infusion from the Parents Library 

Endowment Fund allows them to 

serve more students. The circulation 

statistics reveal the hundreds of uses 

of these textbooks as does the need 

to replace them each year, as they 

literally fall apart from use. These 

textbooks are expensive and unwieldy, 

so some students use the ones at the 

library between classes and leave their 

copy in their dorm room. Others 

may use the library copy rather than 

purchasing a textbook that costs two 

or three hundred dollars. In either case 

the need is great, and the additional 

funding is appreciated. 

In fall 2011 Library West (LW) 

received a technology grant to 

purchase netbooks to circulate to 

students. These replaced laptops that 

had been circulating for several years 

and were completely worn out. The 

move to netbooks was well received 

in LW, but MSL was still limping 

along checking out laptops that were 

overdue to be retired. The Parents 

Library Endowment Fund was used to 

purchase 32 netbooks and a charging 

station for the students who use MSL. 

The netbook program has been very 

successful in both libraries and would 

not have been realized at MSL without 

this funding. 

The Libraries take seriously the mission 

to support the teaching and learning 

of the University of Florida, and to 

respond to student needs in each 

library. The Parents Library Endowment 

Fund is an excellent resource to help 

students be successful in their academic 

careers. Thank you to all who contribute 

to the fund, and welcome to anyone 

who would like to join this effort.

Languages, Literatures 

and Cultures Department 

and the Libraries receive 

$240,804 grant award 

Online resource will create an 

Archive of Haitian Religion 

and Culture 

The University of Florida and Duke 

University researchers and librarians 

have spearheaded a collaborative 

partnership project which has been 

awarded $240,804 from the National 

Endowment for the Humanities. 

This is the second largest award in 

Florida (and one of only five major 

grants awarded in the state) and one 

of 244 awarded nationally this year. 

The Archive of Haitian Religion and 

Culture: Collaborative Research and 

Scholarship on Haiti and the Haitian 

Diaspora grant, led by project director 

Benjamin Hebblethwaite (UF) and 

co-director Laurent Dubois (Duke) 

will document a central Haitian and 

Haitian-American spiritual tradition, 

the Vodou religion. It will gather video 

and print resoruces and disseminate 

them via an open access digital library 

hosted within the existing Digital 

Library of the Caribbean (dLOC) – 

www.dloc.com. 

Partnering with the researchers are 

the George A. Smathers Libraries, 

which hosts the dLOC. In addition 

to dLOC’s 29 international partners, 

the Archive of Haitian Religion and 

Culture includes collaboration from 

researchers at Duke, University of 

Notre Dame, the Schrijversvakschool 

in the Netherlands, the Université des 

Antilles et de la Guyane, and City Lore. 

UF’s Dr. 

Benjamin 

Hebblethwaite 

is the author of 

Vodou songs in 

Haitian Creole 

and English.

Grant Award supports online access to 

The Jewish Floridian newspapers

specialist; Bess de Farber, Smathers Libraries grants manager; Sophia Acord, 

associate director, Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere; and Ben 

Hebblethwaite, professor of Haitian Creole and French, Department of Languages, 

Literatures & Cultures. 

The Isser and Rae Price Library of Judaica, in partnership with the Jewish Museum 

of Florida and three Florida county public libraries’ systems, (Miami-Dade County, 

Broward County and Palm Beach County), will broaden access to the Florida Digital 

Newspaper Library (FDNL) through an award of $21,753 from Library Services and 

Technology Act program funds from the Institute of Museum and Library Services 

and the Florida Department of State, Division of Library and Information Services. 

The FDNL (http://ufdc.ufl.edu/?c=fdnl1) is a key resource for research, comprising 

730 Florida newspaper titles and over one million pages of information which 

attract more than one million online views each month. 

Project funds will support the conversion of 127 reels of The Jewish Floridian from 

microfilm to digital format and these will become accessible through the FDNL 

hosted by the University of Florida Digital Collections. The Jewish Floridian is 

Florida’s first ethnic newspaper of note and is of great interest to a broad range 

of researchers, historians and writers who want to learn more about the cultural, 

social, historical and political life of Florida’s Jewish population throughout the 20th 

century in order to build a more comprehensive picture of Florida history. To date, 

no comprehensive history of the Jewish community of Florida has been written; yet 

this comparatively small section of the general population has made a significant 

impact on the state. Revealing the content of The Jewish Floridian (1924 – 1990) will 

contribute significantly to the effort of uncovering its hidden historical impact. 

Led by Rebecca Jefferson, the project will use The Jewish Floridian online 

collection to establish a training program targeted for the partner institutions and 

their communities and for the citizens of Florida in general. The Florida Digital 

Newspaper Project was the only proposal in Florida to receive funding within the 

Technology category for the 2012-13 grant period.

Dean’s message 

The libraries continue to be productive 

and evolving as ever to match the 

needs of students, faculty, staff and 

researchers. This year has held many 

highlights for new services and 

materials that are important to our 

users. Here are just a few: 

24-hr student access 

After funding a pilot semester last 

spring to provide 24-hour student 

access Monday through Thursday to 

Library West, Student Government 

has agreed to continue the funding for 

three additional years during the fall 

and spring semesters. The overnight 

hours have proven to be very popular 

with students with often as many as 

350 in the building between 2:00 and 

3:00 a.m. 

Endowed faculty position 

Drs. Martin and Sandra Fackler 

established the first endowed library 

faculty position in the University of 

Florida library system for the director 

of the Health Science Center Libraries. 

This is also the first endowed faculty 

position in an academic health science 

or medical library in Florida. 

Shared collection 

The University of Florida and the 

University of Miami have signed a 

Memorandum of Understanding to 


create the Collaborative Academic 

Library Collection, a shared collection 

that will be housed in Gainesville for 

long-term preservation, retention and 

access to low use library materials. An 

interim off-campus storage facility has 

been leased to store materials until 

the Florida Academic Repository 

high density facility is built which will 

integrate this collection with other 

low-use print materials from libraries 

in the State University System. 

Expanded digital access 

Important and often unique materials 

from the Libraries and partner 

institutions were added at the rate 

of 869,439 pages last year to the UF 

Digital Collection. Usage views for 

the fiscal year exceeded 38 million. 

Hosting digital copies of this content 

improves access for UF faculty and 

students and for scholars worldwide. 

Patron-driven e-book acquisitions 

We initiated a bilateral program with 

the Florida State University Libraries 

for the patron-driven acquisitions 

of e-books. The initiative began in 

December 2011 and through July 2012 

allowed 2,115 uses of e-book content 

and resulted in the purchase of 185 

e-books, which became permanently 

available to faculty and students 

from both universities. Both libraries 

are benefiting 

via combined 

funding, reduced 

duplication of 

e-book titles 

purchased, and 

increased content 

from thousands 

of e-book records 

now available to 

all users at UF 

and FSU.

Grand Reading 

Room renovations 

The Special and Area Studies 

Collections Grand Reading Room 

in Smathers Library has undergone 

renovations (see Libraries Open House 

article on page 2). An additional large 

display cabinet has been built in room 

1A of Smathers Library, sponsored by 

the Panama Canal Museum Collection 

and it will house a rotating exhibition 

of materials from the collection. 

We will keep you updated in the 

coming year on our newest projects 

and programs. As always, your 

questions and comments are 

welcomed. Please contact me at 

(352) 273-2505 or jcrussell@ufl.edu.
