<strong>The</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong><br />
When <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> announced a multi-year campaign called <strong>The</strong> <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
<strong>Challenge</strong> in October 2006, it also enunciated a transformative, long-term strategic<br />
agenda for the university based on: human health, environment and sustainability,<br />
international issues of peace and stability, multidisciplinary research, improving<br />
education at all levels, and fostering the arts and creativity. In the words of university<br />
president John L. Hennessy, “Our goal for <strong>The</strong> <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> is nothing short of<br />
building a university for the 21st century and beyond: A university that will better serve<br />
the world through the quality, impact, and vision of its research, and through the<br />
new generations of leaders it will produce.”<br />

From the <strong>University</strong> Librarian<br />
We in the <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> & <strong>Academic</strong> Information Resources have seen<br />
many noteworthy achievements and milestones during the past year. Among these <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong>, without question, will have a profound impact on our future as a<br />
library, an academic computing service, and a congeries of publishing services in the<br />
21st century.<br />
<strong>The</strong> pace of innovation and intellectual growth around campus historically and<br />
presently has motivated the <strong>Libraries</strong> to advance the cutting edges of our professions. <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> is cranking up that pace, and the <strong>Libraries</strong> are redoubling their efforts<br />
in order to meet that mandate, providing an ever-expanding array of services and<br />
resources in every possible medium and in myriad domains. While this is a daunting<br />
challenge indeed, I am delighted with the response of our staff, and we all take justifiable<br />
pride in our work, some aspects of which are showcased in this report. <strong>The</strong> vignettes<br />
included here will illuminate the strategic collaborations of multidisciplinary and globally-focused<br />
scholars that could not take place without the diverse assemblage of talented<br />
and energetic specialists, wide-ranging and deep collections, well-tuned services,<br />
attractive facilities, and easy-to-use technologies that constitutes the <strong>Libraries</strong> (in our<br />
expanded definition of the term).<br />
Your responses to this report are earnestly solicited.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Initiative on Human Health<br />
<strong>The</strong> study of global human health has myriad connections at <strong>Stanford</strong>, ranging from the<br />
clinical disciplines, through the basic sciences, to cultural, political and policy matters.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> support all these connections, of course, most obviously through the science<br />
branches. However, many of our collections and subject specialists have a significant<br />
hand in this initiative, as these examples attest.<br />
Global Tobacco-Free Research Initiative <strong>The</strong> Global Tobacco-Free<br />
Research Initiative is an ambitious project at <strong>Stanford</strong> to help<br />
nations move into a tobacco-free world. Cigarettes remain the<br />
world’s leading preventable cause of death. A billion people<br />
could die from tobacco-induced diseases in the 21st century,<br />
with the majority of these deaths in middle- to lower-income<br />
countries and a higher concentration in Asia. <strong>The</strong> problem<br />
is global even though the tobacco industry is based in just a<br />
few countries, including the United States. Researchers are<br />
studying how to reduce government reliance on taxes, overcome<br />
deceptive advertising, and address the medical issue<br />
of addiction. To support the project, the East Asia Library is<br />
assembling a broad, multi-lingual range of research materials<br />
in many formats, such as microfilms, e-books and serials.<br />

Medical Discovery Resources: A Joint Effort Swain Chemistry and<br />
Chemical Engineering Library’s collecting scope includes resources<br />
on medicinal chemistry and drug discovery, part of an<br />
ongoing collaboration with Lane Medical Library and Falconer<br />
Biology Library. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> work closely together to make<br />
sure that core materials are available to campus researchers,<br />
online whenever possible. Online resources originating in<br />
many fields are critical to effectively and efficiently locating<br />
information needed by both clinical and laboratory investigators<br />
and students across campus. <strong>Stanford</strong> students and<br />
researchers have access to databases on the Web that address<br />
complex, interdependent fields ranging from the highly<br />
applied, such as pharmacological technology, to the most<br />
advanced basic sciences, such as molecular and chemical biology.<br />
Collaboration and coordination is not limited to library<br />
resources: services such as reference help and database search<br />
assistance – to target these many resources effectively – are<br />
supported jointly by staff in Lane, Swain, and Falconer.<br />

<strong>Stanford</strong> to the historical literature of the life sciences from<br />
1864 to the present. Together, they cover taxonomy, population<br />
biology, biodiversity, veterinary biology, cell biology,<br />
biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, basic biomedical<br />
sciences, neurobiology, plant and animal biology, ecology,<br />
evolutionary biology, population biology, and related subjects<br />

Electronic Journal Publishing HighWire Press, a division of the<br />
<strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong>, was created to ensure the continuing<br />
success of independent, scholarly publishers in their<br />
efforts to disseminate the latest, high-quality content worldwide.<br />
HighWire is the online host to five of the top six medical<br />
journals in the world, as well as the definitive editions<br />
of over 1,000 other journals, in the life sciences and other<br />
important fields of research. One of HighWire’s major goals of<br />
putting scholarly research online is to expand research to the<br />
far reaches of the world, places where traditional brick-andmortar<br />
paper libraries cannot keep pace with the needs<br />
of basic health care and human services. Many of the publishers<br />
supported by HighWire are part of such initiatives that<br />
include free access to poor countries: through projects of the<br />
World Health Organization, HINARI and AGORA, through a<br />
free access to developing nations program created by High-<br />
Wire, through cooperation with PatientInform, a layman’s<br />
Web site, and by offering free access to back content without<br />
restriction. HighWire is host to nearly two million free fulltext<br />
articles.<br />

<strong>Stanford</strong> Fisheries Policy Project Oceans today face daunting<br />
global challenges: pollution, climate change, and overfishing,<br />
among other threatening problems. Many major fisheries are<br />
in decline. Where scientific solutions are possible, they must<br />
be implemented hand-in-hand with political, legal, economic<br />
and social change. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Stanford</strong> Fisheries Policy Project,<br />
organized by the Hopkins Marine Station and the <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
Law School, is currently engaged in breakthrough studies in<br />
the management of fisheries. To support the project’s research,<br />
Miller Library is expanding its fields of collection to acquire<br />
additional materials on worldwide marine policy issues.<br />

Geothermal, Electrical and Environmental Archive<br />
<strong>The</strong> Engineering Library, with the assistance of the Branner<br />
Earth Sciences Library and the <strong>Stanford</strong> Linear Accelerator<br />
Center, is acquiring the archival collection of the Rogers<br />
Engineering Company, a San Francisco consulting engineering<br />
firm specializing in geothermal, electrical and environmental<br />
projects worldwide from 1946-1990. Engineering<br />
project files, site maps, environmental impact reports, and<br />
scale models will support student and faculty research in<br />
renewable energy initiatives on campus. <strong>The</strong> collection will<br />
especially benefit the <strong>Stanford</strong> Geothermal Program, which<br />
offers specialized graduate degrees in geothermal reservoir<br />
engineering in coordination with the Department of Energy<br />
Resources Engineering.<br />

Witness to Western American Mining and Environment<br />
In 1903, <strong>Stanford</strong> student Edwin V. Warren, Class of 1908,<br />
rode his bicycle from his home in Pacific Grove to Sacramento,<br />
continuing by train, ship and foot to Douglas Island, just south<br />
of Juneau, Alaska. <strong>The</strong>re, while working in the Treadwell Gold<br />
Mines to earn money for tuition, as he did again the following<br />
year, Edwin kept his manuscript diaries in two small leatherbound<br />
volumes. Full of commentary on mining life and natural<br />
scenery, the journals are especially rich in observations<br />
on birds. A graduate student in the Department of History<br />
passed along word of the diaries’ existence and through the<br />
Lane Fund for Western United States History, the <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> acquired the diaries from Warren’s<br />
grandson. Already the diaries have been used by an undergraduate<br />
writing her senior thesis on the geology of the area<br />
around the Treadwell mines. <strong>The</strong> many and varied themes<br />
of the diaries – from the social and working conditions in the<br />
mines to detailed observations of flora and fauna – illustrate<br />
the multidisciplinary nature of environmental history.<br />

Energy and Environmental Policy Resources Vulnerable areas<br />
of the environment are affected daily by natural factors such<br />
as climate change and human factors such as energy policy<br />
and patterns of resource consumption. Natural scientists<br />
and social scientists who work on environmental topics need<br />
access to daily technical and policy-related information. To<br />
meet this demand, an interdisciplinary group of social science<br />
and science and technology subject specialists jointly have<br />
purchased access to several daily topical newsletters: Environment<br />
& Energy Daily for legislative initiatives and deliberations,<br />
Greenwire for energy and environmental policy news, and Land<br />
Letter – <strong>The</strong> Natural Resources Weekly Report. <strong>The</strong>se important<br />
sources of environmental news from E&E Publishing, Inc.<br />
are supplemented by the publisher’s special reports on topics<br />
such as the Everglades, climate change, sustainable design<br />
and grid power from the sea.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Initiative on the Environment and Sustainability<br />
Issues of the environment and sustainability tend to be complex, merging concerns<br />
with hard science, applied technology, policy, business, law, and social science.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> are deeply engaged with this initiative through many of its<br />
collections across campus.<br />

<strong>The</strong> International Initiative<br />
In addressing critical issues of peace and security, governance, and advancing human<br />
well-being at local, regional and global levels, the scholars associated with the International<br />
Initiative require a bewildering breadth of library resources. Student interest in<br />
worldwide issues has never been higher, and the <strong>Libraries</strong> are racing to provide up-to-date<br />
materials from around the world, continuously acquiring materials in various formats<br />
from more than 100 countries and in more than 100 languages.<br />
Building a New Collection in Korean Studies Established in 2005,<br />
the East Asia Library’s Korean Collection strives to support the<br />
teaching, research, learning, and other activities and services<br />
of the recently-created Korean Studies program. <strong>The</strong> collection<br />
has been able to grow quickly, owing to the generous<br />
support of the <strong>Libraries</strong> and the Center for East Asian Studies,<br />
in close cooperation with the Korean Studies faculty. This year,<br />
the <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> were named as one of twelve<br />
member institutions of the Korean Collections Consortium of<br />
North America. As a member of the consortium, the East Asia<br />
Library has received a five-year grant from the Korea Foundation,<br />
which enables the purchase of a large number of books<br />
including thousands of volumes of Korean classic works.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Local History of Bene Berak <strong>The</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> acquired a significant<br />
archival collection documenting the founding and early<br />
history of the town of Bene Berak, near Tel Aviv. <strong>The</strong> collection<br />
was assembled by Haim Perl, a founder of Bene Berak<br />
in the 1920s and the great-grandfather of the late journalist<br />
Daniel Pearl ’85. Along with similar archives, such as the Simcha<br />
Blass collection on water resources in Israel acquired in<br />
2005 and the Eliasaf Robinson Collection on Tel Aviv acquired<br />
in 2006, the Haim Perl archive will provide unique research<br />
materials to support Middle Eastern studies and the International<br />
Initiative.<br />

Focus on South Asian Studies <strong>The</strong>re is a new multidisciplinary<br />
emphasis in South Asia on campus, as evidenced by the inauguration<br />
of the Center for South Asia in 2006. Correspondingly,<br />
there is growing student and faculty demand to broaden<br />
our Area Studies collection scope to include South Asian materials.<br />
For example, Tibetan studies – with its rich tradition of<br />
manuscript transmission dating from the seventh century – is<br />
a relatively new academic focus at the Department for Religious<br />
Studies and Center for Buddhist Studies. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong><br />
are responding to this development with important acquisitions<br />
of vernacular sources, some as original editions, some<br />
as microform facsimiles, and many electronic resources (such<br />
as the Digital Tibetan Library, an ongoing digitization project<br />
by <strong>The</strong> Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center). Furthermore, the<br />
Asian Studies program has been enriched by a timely gift of a<br />
new book fund in Burmese studies, the Steeve and Helen Kay<br />
Book Fund.<br />

Combating HIV/AIDS in Southern Africa Timely and<br />
accurate information is vital to the success of an innovative<br />
project at <strong>Stanford</strong>: “Combating HIV/AIDS<br />
in Southern Africa: <strong>The</strong> Treatment Revolution and Its<br />
Impact on Health, Well-Being and Governance.” Based<br />
on the 2005 Group of 8’s commitment to put 10 million<br />
people infected with HIV/AIDS on treatment within<br />
five years, this project will research the impact of this<br />
treatment revolution on health, well-being and governance<br />
in sub-Saharan Africa. Supported by the <strong>Libraries</strong>’<br />
African Collection, 10 <strong>Stanford</strong> faculty and instructors<br />
teach related courses on African health issues, of<br />
which the fight against HIV/AIDS continues<br />
to occupy center stage.<br />

Multidisciplinary Research Across the <strong>University</strong><br />
Although the three initiatives in human health, environmental sustainability, and<br />
international affairs are <strong>Stanford</strong>’s largest and broadest multidisciplinary efforts, there<br />
are other significant activities occurring throughout the university that are also aimed at<br />
seeking solutions to societal problems and improving the world around us. Multidisciplinary<br />
programs involve collaborative research and scholarship from several disciplines<br />
and often two or more schools. Library subject specialists, who can provide discovery,<br />
acquisition, and access to diverse materials, often become active members of research<br />
teams studying complex issues from multiple viewpoints.<br />
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Across Campus<br />
Branner Earth Sciences Library and Map Collections and the<br />
Social Sciences Data Center in Green Library provide support<br />
for patrons using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). GIS<br />
are a suite of hardware, software and data that allow a user to<br />
build multi-layered maps based upon the similarity of geographic<br />
space. <strong>The</strong> layers of disparate data are then queried<br />
to elucidate complex relationships between the information<br />
displayed in a graphical format. Patterns become apparent<br />
that would not have been readily seen were the data displayed<br />
in another form. This set of tools is used widely across campus<br />
by faculty and students in the fields of epidemiology, earth<br />
sciences, archaeology, anthropology, business, urban planning,<br />
engineering, and conservation biology. As the hub of<br />
GIS support on campus, the <strong>Libraries</strong> foster and enhance their<br />
use across a wide variety of disciplines and in all the schools;<br />
an important consideration as work becomes increasingly<br />
multidisciplinary across campus.<br />

heard on public radio throughout the world, the recordings<br />
include interviews with the Dalai Lama, Krishnamurti,<br />
Linus Pauling, Joseph Campbell, Timothy Leary, Deepak Chopra,<br />
Bill Moyers, Alice Walker, Maya Angelou and about 3,000<br />
others. New Dimensions’ guests have included leaders whose<br />
papers are archived at <strong>Stanford</strong>, including utopian architect<br />
and thinker R. Buckminster Fuller and Stewart Brand, creator<br />
of <strong>The</strong> Whole Earth Catalog, thus creating a rich, multimedia<br />
trove of opportunities for students to explore the spoken and<br />
written words of these important thinkers, as well as to incorporate<br />
the spoken word into their own course projects.<br />

Financial Mathematics: A Case Study in Interdisciplinary Degrees<br />
<strong>The</strong> Interdisciplinary Master of Science Degree in Financial<br />
Mathematics is a relatively new program that requires carefully<br />
coordinated support from the <strong>Libraries</strong>. Most graduates<br />
of the program find positions as quantitative modelers and<br />
traders at investment banks and hedge funds. Faculty from<br />
four departments – Mathematics, Statistics, Economics, and<br />
Management Science & Engineering – as well as the Graduate<br />
School of Business plan the curriculum and course offerings.<br />
<strong>The</strong> program also sponsors a well attended Financial Mathematics<br />
Seminar open to the public. <strong>The</strong> 2006-2007 series<br />
featured academic speakers from Columbia, Chicago, Princeton,<br />
London and Zurich and leading industry speakers from<br />
Credit Suisse, Bloomberg, and the Federal Reserve Board,<br />
among others. In response to student and faculty requests,<br />
the Math Library has begun an acquisition program for select<br />
titles in Financial Mathematics.<br />

Multimedia Digitization in the Humanities In parallel to highprofile<br />
book-digitization projects like Google Book Search,<br />
the <strong>Libraries</strong> are deeply engaged in collecting and creating<br />
other forms of digital collections that are of increasing importance<br />
and utility to students and faculty. For example, much of<br />
two documentary photography collections were recently made<br />
available as digital resources: the Douglas Menuez Photography<br />
Collection (focusing on the history of Silicon Valley), and<br />
the <strong>Stanford</strong> Historical Photograph Collection. <strong>The</strong>se collections<br />
allow students from many disciplines – history, art, and<br />
business, to name a few – to engage with striking historical<br />
materials, as well as to gain a deep visual sense of <strong>Stanford</strong>’s<br />
own historical and geographical place. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> recently<br />
acquired important audio collections to complement extensive<br />
holdings in the Archive of Recorded Sound, including<br />
Smithsonian Global Sound, which is a listening library of<br />
the world’s aural and musical traditions, with rich searching<br />
features and unparalleled access to unique historical and<br />
contemporary recordings of music and the spoken word. This<br />
collection is of interest across the disciplines, for students not<br />
only of the world’s arts and cultures, but also of all the<br />
human sciences.<br />

Stephen Jay Gould Archive and Collection:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Working of a Public Scholar Stephen Jay Gould was an Ameri-<br />
can paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and historian of<br />
science. He was one of the most influential and widely read<br />
writers of science of his generation and spent most of his<br />
career teaching at Harvard <strong>University</strong> and working at the<br />
American Museum of Natural History in New York. His widow,<br />
Rhonda Roland Shearer of New York City, donated Professor<br />
Gould’s extensive professional and personal papers as well as<br />
his personal library, including his rare book collection, to the<br />
<strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong>. <strong>The</strong> manuscript and archive collection<br />
of Gould exceeds 300 linear feet and the collection of books<br />
numbers in the thousands. Together, these materials can<br />
reveal the methods and intellectual processes of this distinguished<br />
educator and researcher.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>Challenge</strong> addresses teaching methods and results, both as a way of ensuring<br />
an exceptional student experience at <strong>Stanford</strong> and as a pressing social issue throughout<br />
society. By developing education leadership and policy, as well as by designing and<br />
testing model learning environments, <strong>Stanford</strong>’s “Improving K-12 Education” programs<br />
confront challenges faced by the public education system in the United States. On campus,<br />
programs for “Extending the Renaissance in Undergraduate Education” and “Reinventing<br />
Graduate Education” strive to assure unparalleled opportunities for <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
students to become effective leaders in a complex global society. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> are essential<br />
in providing materials and support to ensure educational success at all levels.<br />

Library Information Center as Hub for Information Literacy<br />
As <strong>Stanford</strong> seeks to produce graduates who are independent<br />
thinkers and problem solvers, the Information Center plays<br />
a crucial role through its emphasis on lifelong information<br />
literacy. A vital point of first contact for many visitors to Green<br />
Library, the Center provides answers to research questions in<br />
person, by telephone, by email and by Instant Messaging. <strong>The</strong><br />
Information Center’s Instruction Program also provides students<br />
with the skills necessary to discover, evaluate, and use<br />
information from a variety of sources and in multiple formats.<br />
All freshmen attend information literacy workshops as part<br />
of the Program in Writing and Rhetoric, as well as the Structured<br />
Liberal Education Program. Honors students also attend<br />
advanced information literacy workshops as they prepare to<br />
write their Honors theses.<br />

Student Discoveries in Special Collections Access to rare and<br />
unique materials is a defining feature of both undergraduate<br />
and graduate education at <strong>Stanford</strong>. In most cases, Special<br />
Collections acquisitions are made with teaching and research<br />
value in mind. Subject specialists conducted more than 100<br />
class sessions this year using prior collaborative sessions with<br />
faculty to tailor material selection to precise course content.<br />
Students examined a wide array of antiquarian and modern<br />
materials and received expert assistance with research<br />
papers. Separately, a group of students, on their own initiative,<br />
organized and attended the Green Teas presentations by faculty,<br />
subject specialists and collectors on bibliophilic topics.<br />
Combined, these programs helped highly motivated students<br />
navigate their first research experiences with Special Collections<br />
materials.<br />

Curriculum Resources for Teachers Cubberley Library serves the<br />
School of Education, a leading center of educational research,<br />
to improve K-12 education in the United States. <strong>The</strong> continually<br />
expanding Cubberley Curriculum Collection includes<br />
hands-on science kits, newly published textbooks, and a wide<br />
range of the best in children’s literature to support language<br />
arts instruction. <strong>The</strong> Library recently revised its Web pages,<br />
using an open source content management system known as<br />
Drupal, to give better access to library resources. Additionally,<br />
new pages were created to serve the <strong>Stanford</strong> Teacher Education<br />
Program, a nationally renowned, innovative program<br />
leading to a Master of Arts in Education and a preliminary<br />
California teaching credential. Electronic resources, in addition<br />
to on-site books and journals on educational reform<br />
and teaching methods, are frequently consulted by members<br />
of the <strong>Stanford</strong> community as well as by local elementary and<br />
secondary teachers.<br />

Advances in Information Technology Through <strong>Academic</strong> Computing,<br />
<strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> & <strong>Academic</strong> Information<br />
Resources provides faculty and students with technology,<br />
expertise and resources to support learning, research and<br />
teaching. <strong>The</strong> Student Computing unit provides technology<br />
enhanced labs and classrooms in <strong>Stanford</strong>’s 77 student residences,<br />
Meyer, Green and the branch libraries, and Tresidder<br />
Student Union, as well as consulting, technology help, and<br />
training for <strong>Stanford</strong>’s students. <strong>The</strong> Faculty Services unit<br />
hosts <strong>Academic</strong> Technology Specialists to work with faculty on<br />
their use of technology in teaching and research, an <strong>Academic</strong><br />
Technology Lab, and provides CourseWork, the campus<br />
course management system. <strong>The</strong> Digital Library Systems<br />
and Services unit operates technology services, systems and<br />
infrastructure for the <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong>, including<br />
the library management system and component parts, Web<br />
and access systems, digitization lab software, and the core<br />
server, database, storage, backup and Web infrastructure. As<br />
the <strong>Libraries</strong> move to an increasingly digital profile, <strong>Academic</strong><br />
Computing provides and manages digital resources<br />
for the <strong>Libraries</strong> through their complete lifecycle, including<br />
digitization, metadata design, specification and generation,<br />

<strong>University</strong> Publishing Promotes Educational Research<br />
In line with its ongoing efforts to develop a publishing program<br />
that supports and complements the academic strengths<br />
and intellectual mission of the <strong>University</strong>, <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
Press has published a core list of titles covering the breadth of<br />
education research, from pre-school and K-12 through higher<br />
education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. <strong>The</strong><br />
Press has published prominent authors from the <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
School of Education and sought cutting-edge research that<br />
will improve our nation’s public education system, inform<br />
scholars and students, and educate our future leaders. Our<br />
commitment to education research will continue and grow in<br />
coming years, with education now being a major focus of our<br />
acquisitions.<br />

Clarifying Copyright for Books Copyright law has become a pressing<br />
issue as libraries and businesses develop plans to digitize<br />
materials and make works in the public domain widely available.<br />
In April, the <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> released the<br />
Copyright Renewal Database, dubbed the “Copyright Determinator,”<br />
which was developed under a grant from the Hewlett<br />
Foundation. Available on the <strong>Libraries</strong>’ public Web site, the<br />
Determinator brings all 1923-1963 U.S. book-renewal records<br />
together in a single database and, more significantly, makes<br />
searchable renewal records that had previously been distributed<br />
only in print. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> are pleased to be<br />
able to offer this service to the scholarly community and are<br />
working with national partners to integrate this data into a<br />
much broader system for the analysis of copyright status.<br />

Ira Nowinski: Photographs of Native Americans <strong>The</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong><br />
have acquired a number of collections of photographs by Ira<br />
Nowinski, the latest of which is a collection of 71 photographs<br />
of California Native Americans in the 21st century. This collection<br />
includes prints of Native Americans at the Chumash<br />
Pow Wow, the Morongo Indian Reservation, Palm Springs,<br />
Hupa Valley, Grinding Rock State Park, Hopland Indian<br />
Reservation, the Santa Ynes Reservation, and the Klamath<br />
River Valley, all in California. <strong>The</strong>se photographs of California<br />
Native Americans augment <strong>Stanford</strong>’s holdings on Nowinski,<br />
including an archive of some 15,000 prints and negatives.<br />

Irving Rosenthal: Beat Generation Editor and Novelist<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> obtained the extraordinary<br />
archive of Irving Rosenthal, editor of numerous important<br />
Beat writers and author of the novel, Sheeper. Acquired in part<br />
through the Charlotte A. Felton Fund and the Kline-Roethke<br />
Book Fund, this archive builds on the <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong>’<br />
holdings of the Beats. As editor of <strong>The</strong> Chicago Review<br />
in the late 1950s, Rosenthal published poetry by Jack Kerouac,<br />
prose from Edward Dahlberg, and the first parts of William<br />
Burroughs’ Naked Lunch. Subsequent moves to New York and<br />
Tangiers led to friendships with Allen Ginsberg, Herbert<br />
Huncke, Paul Bowles, and Jack Smith. Significant correspondence<br />
and materials from all these figures, among many others,<br />
are included in the archive.<br />

Engaging the Arts and Creativity<br />
<strong>The</strong> arts play a central role in training students – future leaders – to think creatively.<br />
In keeping with this concept, the <strong>Libraries</strong> continually strive to expand their resources<br />
to ensure ample opportunity for creative discovery in the arts. Having resources to<br />
illustrate the richness of human culture is vital to maintaining the role of the arts<br />
and humanities in a liberal arts education.<br />

Charles Hobson: Book Artist Charles Hobson is an artist who<br />
uses pastel, monotype and other printmaking variations to<br />
construct images for books and works on paper. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
<strong>Libraries</strong> have been collecting his works for many years. In<br />
2007 Hobson donated his archive to the <strong>Libraries</strong>. This extensive<br />
archive includes the working drafts, ideas, prototypes,<br />
photography, monotypes, prints, and production material<br />
for all of his artist’s books. <strong>The</strong> archive reveals in depth the<br />
creative processes, technical solutions, and development of<br />
ideas in his work over time. In so doing, it reveals much about<br />
the interplay of creativity, expression, and history of artistic<br />
ideas. <strong>The</strong> Department of Special Collections is now planning<br />
to exhibit selections from the Hobson archive in the <strong>Libraries</strong><br />
in conjunction with a related exhibit at the Cantor Arts Center.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> will also be publishing a catalog for these<br />
exhibits.<br />

Monterey Jazz Festival Recordings <strong>The</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong>’ Archive of<br />
Recorded Sound holds the archival recordings of the Monterey<br />
Jazz Festival performances dating back to 1958. <strong>The</strong> preservation<br />
of this collection is a multi-year, multi-part project,<br />
initiated jointly by the <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> and the<br />
Monterey Jazz Festival, to preserve original audio and video<br />
recordings in the collection. <strong>The</strong>se recordings document the<br />
world’s longest running jazz festival through recorded performances<br />
of the most significant jazz musicians of the second<br />
half of the 20th century. Grant funds have been awarded by the<br />
Grammy Foundation, the National Historical Publications and<br />
Records Commission, and the Save America’s Treasures grant<br />
programs to digitize the fragile, aging and degrading media<br />
and to improve the storage of the original tapes. High-quality<br />
listening copies are now available, providing unprecedented<br />
access to this unique collection.<br />

Librarians and Humanists Exploring Virtual Worlds<br />
Working with Michael Shanks, Professor of Classics, the<br />
History of Science & Technology program in the Humanities<br />
Resource Group is collaborating with the <strong>Stanford</strong> Humanities<br />
Lab on a project in the virtual world Second Life. Together,<br />
they have created an archive of the works of media and film<br />
artist Lynn Hershman, who also contributed substantially to<br />
the project. Funded in part by the Daniel Langlois Foundation,<br />
the project built a historical archive of this important artist’s<br />
work in a 3-d virtual world owned and operated entirely by its<br />
residents. Many <strong>Stanford</strong> students populate areas in Second<br />
Life, including two islands for graduate students in the School<br />
of Education. Its virtual world was also used as a basis for<br />
projects in the “Humans and Machines” course offered to undergraduates<br />
in the Introduction to the Humanities Program.<br />

Chinese Calligraphy and Stone Carvings As part of the ongoing<br />
effort to enhance the visitor experience at the East Asia<br />
Library, the calligraphic works of C.C. Wang and Niu Kesi’s<br />
stone carvings were exhibited over the past year. C.C. Wang<br />
(Wang Chi-Ch’ien or Wang Jiqian, 1907-2003), distinguished<br />
artist, collector and connoisseur, was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu<br />
Province, China, and studied traditional Chinese painting. He<br />
contributed greatly to upgrade both the art history value and<br />
art market value of Chinese painting. Niu Kesi (“Superior to<br />
Marx” in Chinese) was born in 1954 in Qingtian County, Zhejiang<br />
Province, China, and studied stone carvings under his<br />
father, Tingjiao Li (1921-1971). He has since been regarded<br />
as a pioneer of large scale stone carving, skillfully combining<br />
artistic vision with careful, precise carving.<br />

Avant-Garde Remembered <strong>The</strong> Art and Architecture Library<br />
recently purchased three journals of the Parisian avantgarde<br />
– Le Coq (subsequently titled Le Coq Parisien) (1920),<br />
Réverbères (1938-39), and Néon (1948-49) – in honor of Alex<br />
Ross on his retirement as Head Librarian after 32 years of service.<br />
Editors and contributors include the Dadaist and Surrealist<br />
luminaries Tristan Tzara, Max Ernst, André Breton, and<br />
Jean Cocteau. <strong>The</strong>se rare ephemera build upon the Library’s<br />
growing collection of avant-garde journals, each exemplifying<br />
that medium’s multiple capacities for artistic interdisciplinarity,<br />
literary idiosyncrasy, political assertion, and graphic<br />
experimentalism. An exhibition of these journals kicks off<br />
the Library’s new exhibition program and will be on display<br />
through the 2007 Fall Quarter.<br />

Rejuvenating Art at the Visual Resources Center Formerly part<br />
of the Department of Art & Art History but transferred to the<br />
<strong>Libraries</strong> in September 2006, the Visual Resources Center<br />
completed its first year as a unit of the Art and Architecture<br />
Library. With strengths in European, American, Chinese and<br />
Japanese art and architecture, the VRC’s collection of over<br />
300,000 35mm slides and 34,000 digital images primarily<br />
supports teaching and research in art and art history. While<br />
work continues on migrating the existing collection from slide<br />
to digital, driven primarily by Art faculty request, important<br />
progress is being made in expanding the scope of the existing<br />
collection and extending VRC services to the greater <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
community.<br />

Endowed Book Funds at the <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong><br />
Endowed book funds provide deep collectionbuilding<br />
to support advanced research. Several<br />
hundred donors – alumni, families, and others –<br />
have created focused acquisition funds in beloved<br />
subjects to enable the <strong>Libraries</strong> to collect in<br />
depth and breadth. Without these enduring gifts,<br />
<strong>Stanford</strong>’s research and educational resources<br />
would not have attained the level of distinction we<br />
now almost take for granted. Endowment income<br />
currently provides more than one quarter of our<br />
total acquisitions budget. A minimum gift of<br />
$25,000 makes this program the most accessible<br />
of all named endowments at <strong>Stanford</strong>; successive<br />
gifts often span generations.<br />
For more information about endowing a book fund<br />
and for current subject needs suggested by subject<br />
specialists, please contact the Library Development<br />
Office at 650-723-3866.<br />

Faculty Committees<br />
<strong>The</strong> Exhibits Program provides open invitations to<br />
students, staff, collectors and community to meet<br />
the <strong>Libraries</strong>’ subject specialists and view materials<br />
from Special Collections in a scholarly, visually<br />
dynamic, and interpretive context. Three to four<br />
exhibitions are presented each year in the Munger<br />
Rotunda and the Peterson Gallery. Sponsorships<br />
are available, which defray installation costs and<br />
make possible the publication of exhibit catalogues,<br />
which are permanent, illustrated records distributed<br />
to hundreds of libraries and individuals. <strong>The</strong><br />
Library Development Office can provide additional<br />
details.<br />
Charles Dickens and Show Biz<br />
October 2006—January 2007<br />
Father-and-son team Ralph J. Crawford Jr. and<br />
Bruce J. Crawford were guest curators for Charles<br />
Dickens and Show Biz. Materials drawn primarily<br />
from their extensive personal collections of<br />
Dickens editions and memorabilia comprised the<br />
show, which examined the 19th century author and<br />
his connections to theater and film. Charles Dickens<br />
and Show Biz used rare editions of dramatic works<br />
by Dickens and his contemporaries, letters, vintage<br />
playbills, movie memorabilia, and theater costumes<br />
to highlight the author as a playwright, actor<br />
and theatrical producer, as well as to illustrate the<br />
many ways in which Dickens’s work has been interpreted<br />
in performance. A generously illustrated<br />
80-page catalogue of the exhibition was written by<br />
the Crawfords some months before Ralph passed<br />
away, designed by Jerry Kelly, and published under<br />
the <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> imprint.<br />
California Printers in the Fine Press Tradition,<br />
1975—2006: Selections from <strong>Stanford</strong>’s<br />
Special Collections<br />
February—June 2007<br />
40 California fine presses were the focus of this<br />
exhibition showing work from three decades of<br />
printing, beginning with the book arts renaissance<br />
of the 1970s and early 1980s, through the present.<br />
Exhibited books ranged from small volumes of<br />
poetry written, designed, and letterpress-printed<br />
by single proprietors, to deluxe, limited-edition<br />
titles from literary fine presses, to innovative,<br />
highly collaborative works by creative writer/artist/<br />
printer partnerships. A descriptive history of each<br />
press, written by co-curators Becky Fischbach and<br />
Roberto Trujillo, accompanied the book chosen<br />
to represent it. <strong>The</strong> Rotunda section of the gallery<br />
was devoted to a didactic display that used photographs,<br />
tools, and models as well as text to instruct<br />
visitors in the arts of the book: type and printing,<br />
bookbinding, paper making, and paper decorating<br />
techniques. This eight-case exhibition remained<br />
on display through the summer months.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Vico Collaborations 1972 | 2003 | 2006<br />
July—December 2007<br />
Jack Stauffacher of <strong>The</strong> Greenwood Press, San<br />
Francisco, has published three portfolios highlighting<br />
and celebrating the work of 18th century<br />
Neapolitan philosopher Giambattista Vico, the<br />
latter two in collaboration with photographer<br />
Dennis Letbetter. <strong>The</strong> portfolios pay homage to<br />
both the content and the physical qualities of the<br />
first and second editions of Vico’s La Scienza Nuova,<br />
his most famous and influential work. Just as Vico<br />
abstracted thought from direct observations of<br />
the natural world, Stauffacher and Letbetter used<br />
physical objects to abstract effect in their collaborative<br />
prints: Stauffacher through use of wood<br />
and lead type to compose beautifully balanced<br />
collages employing letterforms as abstract shapes;<br />
Letbetter through use of the camera’s lens to focus<br />
attention on the physical vehicles of meaning: type,<br />
paper, vellum, and ink.<br />
Advisory Council 2006—2007<br />
<strong>The</strong> Advisory Council assists by promoting <strong>Stanford</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> & <strong>Academic</strong> Information<br />
Resources and providing new points of view on<br />
a broad spectrum of library issues. Its annual<br />
meetings – comprising some of the best and brightest<br />
within research library leadership, as well as<br />
distinguished scholars, professionals and industry<br />
leaders – are an extraordinary gathering of minds<br />
and experience, focused on the challenges of supporting<br />
excellence in scholarship and learning.<br />
We are indeed grateful for their dedication to<br />
our mission.<br />

Associates of the <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong><br />
In June 2007, SULAIR announced the discontinuation<br />
of its perennial operational subsidy to the<br />
Associates of the <strong>Stanford</strong> <strong>University</strong> <strong>Libraries</strong> and<br />
the consequent dissolution of the group. Despite<br />
this necessary action, SULAIR remains deeply<br />
grateful to the many ASUL officers and members<br />
who have supported its mission of serving teaching,<br />
learning, and research, and looks forward to<br />
their continuing engagement with and interest in<br />
the <strong>Libraries</strong> at <strong>Stanford</strong>. <strong>The</strong> several book funds<br />
established by collective gifts from ASUL members<br />
will continue to enrich the <strong>Libraries</strong>’ collections<br />
without change.<br />
