OAKWOOD UNIVERSITYOakwood University, which began as an industrial school, was founded in 1896 to educate African-Americans in theSouth. The school was erected on 380 acres purchased during the previous year for $6,700. Oakwood Universityhas a beautiful natural setting on 1,185 acres (5 km 2 ) of prime land that had previously been a plantation. OakwoodUniversity was founded in 1896 as Oakwood Industrial School. It is considered one of the historical landmarks ofthe city of Huntsville, located in north central Alabama. The university prepares students from across America andfrom many other nations to serve God and humanity in a variety of positions and careers. Oakwood‘s signaturechoir, the Aeolians, is recognized as an Achiever in the Alabama Music Hall of Fame. Oakwood University ispleased to host the 30 th annual meeting of the Association of Seventh-day Adventist Librarians. The theme of theconference, Libraries 2020: Visioning and planning for the next Decade, challenges us to envision and develop anaction plan for the type of libraries and leaders we want to have in the near future.

The James White Library (JWL) moved a step forward in its quest for a world-class library when AndrewsUniversity became a NACO member in November of 2009. NACO stands for Name Authority COoperative, acomponent of the Program for Cooperative Cataloging (PCC) at the Library of Congress. As a NACO member,JWL is now authorized to create and change Name Authority Records in the NACO Authority File (NAF).This is a significant development, as Andrews University is home to many published authors, scholars, and almamater from all over the world. The James White Library also houses the largest collection of works pertaining toSeventh-day Adventists and Ellen G. White. In addition to personal names, JWL is now allowed to contributecorporate authority records for publications coming from different levels of the Seventh-day Adventist church. Withthis privilege, JWL can help standardize and contribute to the LC/NACO Authority File (NAF).There are two types of NACO membership. One is membership through a funnel project. A funnel project is agroup of libraries that have joined together to contribute Name Authority Records to the NAF. The other is throughindividual NACO membership. JWL opted for individual NACO membership. Under this set-up, JWL submits itsName Authority Records directly to the Library of Congress for review before they become part of the NAF.This NACO membership is the culmination of the efforts JWL has made to update its authority records. To resolvethis, JWL explored various ways—one of which was through NACO membership. Last year a NACO trainingworkshop became available which I attended from October 26 to 30, 2009. I joined more than twenty participantsfrom all over the United States in John Adams building of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. For fivedays, three specialists from the Library of Congress led in the presentations and hands-on practicum. Topicsdiscussed included MARC 21 Authority Format, Personal Names, Corporate Bodies, Geographic Names andUniform Titles.The seminar was intensive, comprehensive, and interesting. The focus of the presentations was to familiarize andexplain to the participants the standards and guidelines involved in creating and changing authority records. Thelecturers were not only competent, but I found them helpful and caring. This helped create a positive learningatmosphere. While the last day of the seminar concluded the workshop, it actually signaled to the participants thebeginning of actual authority work.Information regarding NACO is available on http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/naco/naco.htmlI encourage librarians to plan to have your institutions become members of NACO._______Felipe E.

EIGHT STEPS TO SURVIVE TECH MELTDOWNS WITHOUT MELTING DOWNBruce McClayAny one will work, but several combined together work admirably. I know – I have tested them.1. Reboot, reboot, reboot. Not the computers, copier, or printer, but yourself. Whatever youdo to reboot – nap, coffee, walk, call a friend – do it! It may not help with the techproblem, but you‘ll feel a lot better, and, after all, that‘s what counts.2. Scream – often and loudly. Pretty soon the echoes will come rolling back and you‘ll feelthat you have lots of company and you know how ―misery loves company.‖ Onlyproblem is, it may not be the kind of company you want or need at the moment.3. Laugh hysterically. If you are very lucky this will confuse the ―tech gremlins‖ that thriveon the energy generated by frustration and misery. If not, it will at least confuse yourfriends.4. Change a baby‘s diaper. Everything is a matter of perspective, and this will put you intouch with the reality of our world.5. Have a blame storming session. They are popular in some libraries anyway.6. Run around . . . and around and around and around. It won‘t do any tech good, butexhaustion also changes one‘s perspective.7. Look pensive and wise and say something like, ―Life is like a bowl of cherries. Younever know what you‘re going to get ‗til you get it.‖ You‘ll feel good and your coworkerswill be impressed.Volume 29, number 2 ASDAL Action Winter 201012

8. Be patient.

Ifyou already have the old one, you don't need this; if you don't, it's a useful supplement to the Seventh-day AdventistEncyclopedia. It's a somewhat scattershot collection of articles with an extremely useful bibliography taking up 1/3of the book.)Two interesting Ph.D. theses popped up on the radar: Leslie Hardy'sSocialising accountability for the sacred : a study of the Sanitarium Health Food Company (University of Adelaide,2008, 404 leaves) provides a nice look at an Australian institution, and Tommy Faris' William Miller: a commonsense life (Columbia University, 2007, 357 leaves) shows the continuing scholarly interest in Adventism and historythat has been such a nice feature of the last two decades.The GC has another handbook out: Pastor's & elder's handbook for women's ministries : a complete guide for localchurch leaders. (Silver Spring, MD: Women's Ministries Dept., 2007. 96 p. ISBN 9781578470457) Important ifyou're training future church leaders or have any interest in women's ministries. And you may wish to add MonteSahlin's Mission in metropolis : the Adventist movement in an urban world (Lincoln, NB: Center for CreativeMinistry, 2007. 274 p.

LIBRARIANS ON THE LOOSE—DIGITAL ARCHIVESKatie McGrathElizabeth sits quietly in her rocking chair, gazing out the window and remembering. It has been over 65 years sinceshe graduated from Southern Junior College, now transformed into Southern Adventist University. She thinks abouther classmates, her professors, the good times she had while she was a student. She longs for her old yearbooks. Ifshe had them, she could go back and see again the faces that meant so much to her, but as a military wife she hasmoved so many times that these were lost years ago.Suddenly, she has an idea. This tech-savvy great-grandma turns on her computer and navigates to SouthernAdventist University‘s website. She finds the link for the library and quickly scans the menus. Her heart beatsfaster as she clicks the link for Digital Archives. Could it be? Yes. With just a few clicks of her mouse, she isbrowsing through the pages of yearbooks she thought she would never see again.This is the beauty and the power of the Internet. Libraries everywhere are harnessing this power to deliver contentaround the globe to patrons who cannot come into our physical buildings. Welcome to the digital age, wheredistance means nothing—the world is just a click away.Well, not the whole world. It was not until 2009 that Southern Adventist University‘s McKee Library was able toembark upon a digitization project, and it is far from complete. The goal of the project is to preserve officialpublications of Southern Adventist University and make them accessible to interested parties, but only a handful ofavailable publications have actually been digitized. The project is off to a good start, but there have been andcontinue to be hurdles to overcome.Funding, of course, is a ubiquitous concern which never goes away. The initial launch of the project was the resultof the joint efforts of Alumni Relations, Marketing and University Relations, and McKee Library. Major fundingassistance came through the Mass Digitization Collaborative established by LYRASIS to assist member libraries indigitizing their content. Supported through a grant from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation and the LYRASISmembership, one of the goals of the Collaborative is to digitize and make unique, regional, and cultural heritagematerials available for public access.Which brings us to another significant concern—privacy. In order to bring this service to its members, LYRASIShas teamed up with the Open Content Alliance, supporting free and open access to digitized material. Materialsdigitized under the program are available on the Internet Archive website, and therefore available to the entire onlinecommunity. While this relieves contributing members of the burden of hosting content, questions have been raisedabout what is and what is not appropriate to be made publicly available. In the case of Southern AdventistUniversity, contact information for students and faculty has been printed in the back of the yearbook for a number ofyears, and for this reason it was decided not to include Southern Memories (1945-present) in the initial launch of theproject.Physical size of materials has also been an issue. During the planning stages of the project, it was hoped thatSouthern Accent could be included in the initial launch, but the pages of this publication are unfortunately too largefor the ―scribe‖ scanners used by Internet Archive to handle. It would have been necessary to first convert the issuesto microfilm, and then proceed with digitization—a process which was prohibitively expensive. (However, recentlyprices have been adjusted so items can be done entirely on a ―fold-out‖ station at a reasonable cost, so it may yet bepossible to add Southern Accent to the McKee Library Digital Archives.)Despite these and other hurdles, Southern Adventist University‘s McKee Library is pleased with the initial launchand hopeful about the continued growth and success of the digitization project. The alumni paper (now calledColumns), Legacy (a campus publication devoted to student literary works), and yearbooks dating before 1945 arecurrently available, both on the Internet Archive site and through a direct link from McKee Library‘s website.Discussions are being held about which publications will next become part of the digital collection, and how to fundthese additions.Volume 29, number 2 ASDAL Action Winter 201014

It is exciting to be a librarian in this time of transition. Projects such as McKee Library‘s digitization initiative arefilled with the promise of continuously improving the services we provide to our patrons and removing obstacleswhich previously hindered access to materials. By tapping into the possibilities afforded by the digital age, ourefforts are helping Elizabeth and others like her as we move toward a time when the world will truly be just a clickaway._______What new and exciting things are going on in your library?

By December 21 he and his wife were on their way to South Korea where they will teachEnglish and Religion classes until June. Jeannette Wetmore was promoted to Public Services Librarian as ofDecember 1.This semester we have inaugurated a redesigned home page for the library. Our two goals in this project were to"unbury" links to our online resources and to mesh the design with that of the main Union College home page.We're pleased with the results in both areas. We also started a Union College Library Facebook fan page. Andwe're experimenting with offering instant message reference service using Meebo.The Heritage Room also recently acquired the class composite photos and yearbooks from Platte Valley Academywhich merged with Enterprise Academy a couple of years ago to form Great Plains Academy. Great PlainsAcademy is using the Enterprise campus and this last fall the Kansas-Nebraska Conference desided to revert thePlatte Valley Academy campus to farmland. As a result a new home for the photographs and yearbooks was neededon short notice. There are multiple copies of the yearbooks which we do have permission to share with otherAdventist libraries. If you are interested in yearbooks from Platte Valley Academy, please contact Sabrina Riley(sariley@ucollege.edu). Copies prior to 1991 are limited, but copies since then are plentiful. Any copies we do notkeep or find new homes for will be given to the Platte Valley Academy Alumni Associaton.Sabrina Riley (sariley@ucollege.edu)◘◘◘◘◘Volume 29, number 2 ASDAL Action Winter 201015
