LETTER FROM THE DEAN<br />
Looking back over last year, it was fun! We began a major<br />
initiative to increase awareness about <strong>library</strong> resources with<br />
<strong>TCU</strong> students. We completed the redesign of the <strong>library</strong>’s<br />
website with sections for Special Collections and the Friends of<br />
the <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong>. And for the Friends of the <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong>, the<br />
40th anniversary celebration this past spring was a memorable<br />
occasion.<br />
Many <strong>library</strong> resources are digital these days, particularly<br />
journals and databases. Many students come to <strong>TCU</strong> very well prepared academically,<br />
but not necessarily familiar with the breadth of digital resources accessible from<br />
a university <strong>library</strong>. If you are a high school student and haven’t used databases<br />
with thousands of books scanned from the 18th or 19th centuries, or databases with<br />
decades of newspapers indexed by key word, or databases with streaming video of<br />
ballets and operas, how would you know to use these resources for your student<br />
assignments?<br />
The need for this awareness was a focus for us this past year. We reached out to <strong>TCU</strong><br />
students to increase their knowledge not only about the <strong>Library</strong> itself, but also about<br />
the <strong>Library</strong>’s extraordinary collection of digital resources. Staff members who are<br />
<strong>library</strong> liaisons are matched with individual academic departments. They were busy<br />
this year teaching instructional sessions about databases and specialized resources<br />
on the web to demonstrate efficient use of these resources. We want <strong>TCU</strong> students<br />
to take advantage of the opportunities available to them through the <strong>Library</strong>. Our<br />
READ posters also tied in with these ideas, by increasing our “cool” factor with <strong>TCU</strong><br />
students.<br />
The big news is forthcoming next year. <strong>Library</strong> administrators are meeting with<br />
architects this summer to begin planning the renovation of the 1980s wing. The fall<br />
newsletter will have more information. Excitement is in the air!<br />
At any time, if you would like to share your thoughts or suggestions about the <strong>Library</strong>,<br />
please give me a call or send me an email.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
June Koelker<br />
Dean, Mary Couts Burnett <strong>Library</strong><br />

HIGHLIGHTS<br />
FALL WELCOME<br />
The <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong> kicked off the<br />
2011-2012 academic year by<br />
welcoming students with an ice<br />
cold bottle of water. August was<br />
a record HOT! HOT! and the<br />
students much appreciated the<br />
opportunity to cool down.<br />
“I LOVE THE<br />
<strong>TCU</strong> LIBRARY”<br />
CONTEST<br />
We had our first <strong>annual</strong><br />
student contest in celebration<br />
of Valentine’s Day. It was the<br />
perfect opportunity for students<br />
to express their love for the<br />
<strong>library</strong> with a written message.<br />
The “I Love the <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong>”<br />
contest was successful among the<br />
students with an overwhelming<br />
amount of entries.<br />

FIRST-YEAR<br />
ORIENTATION<br />
The <strong>Library</strong> helped incoming<br />
first-year students transition to<br />
<strong>TCU</strong> by helping them become<br />
acclimated to the university and<br />
introducing them to the <strong>library</strong>’s<br />
resources and services.<br />
The <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong> had some significant happenings this past year<br />
that made a difference to students, faculty, staff and Friends. None<br />
of it could have been possible without the outstanding leadership<br />
and teamwork of the <strong>library</strong>’s staff.<br />
FACULTYSPEAK<br />
SERIES<br />
Presented twice a year, the<br />
FacultySpeak lecture series<br />
features <strong>TCU</strong> Faculty members<br />

TECHNOLOGY<br />
• Redesigned the Friends of<br />
the <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong> website<br />

allows students to ask short,<br />
quick questions and in<br />
turn receive a quick, short<br />
response. Students use their<br />
cell phones to text their<br />
question to one of our <strong>TCU</strong><br />
research librarians.<br />
NEW<br />

Josh Elander and Natalie Ventress<br />
new faces of poster campaign<br />
Thank you letter sent by Staley<br />
Middle School student, Alaina Nemic<br />
The READ posters are one of the hottest things on<br />
campus - and they’re hanging in the <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong>! This<br />
year, two All-American athletes Josh Elander, <strong>TCU</strong><br />
Baseball, and Natalie Ventress, <strong>TCU</strong> Women’s Basketball,<br />
were added to this valuable collection.<br />
Josh and Natalie where selected to be part of the<br />
READ poster campaign for their commitment of high<br />
achievement on and off the field/court. Stand-outs on our<br />
<strong>TCU</strong> campus, these individuals have earned the respect<br />
and admiration of the entire academic community.<br />
Since the launch of the READ campaign in 2010-2011,<br />
<strong>TCU</strong> students, faculty and the local population have<br />
expressed their support of the valuable message it sends.<br />
The <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong> is the place that provides positive<br />
rewards to students wanting to enhance their academic<br />
experience. This campaign also raises the <strong>library</strong>’s<br />
visibility on campus as not only the place to be, but the<br />
“place for great minds.”<br />

SPECIAL<br />
COLLECTIONS<br />
AND ARCHIVES<br />
Located on the second floor of the <strong>library</strong>, Special<br />
Collections provides access to rare books and unique<br />
collections, and the Archives provide access to the<br />
history of the university, including the papers of<br />
the former Speaker of the House, Jim Wright.<br />
This past year Special Collections took on a big project of<br />
digitizing scrapbooks of former <strong>TCU</strong> students and faculty.<br />
Each of the scrapbooks contains memorabilia that brings to<br />
life the experience of being a <strong>TCU</strong> student in the early 1900’s.<br />
During the digitization process, it was discovered that three<br />
of the scrapbooks belonged to a group of friends (between 1919-<br />
1926) - Dura Louise Cockrell, Edwina Day and Donna Jean<br />
Billington. Every one of these historical scrapbooks is as unique<br />
as the student that made it.<br />
The fascination is these scrapbooks not only offer a window<br />
into <strong>TCU</strong>’s history, but present a snapshot in time through the<br />
memories and experiences of the <strong>TCU</strong> students and faculty who<br />
lived it. The new digitized scrapbook collection is available on<br />
the <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong> website, http://<strong>library</strong>.tcu.edu/spcoll/.<br />
EXHIBITS<br />
Special Collections designed several charming exhibits for our<br />
perusal and edification. One exhibit explored the history of<br />
one of the most popular and socially influential authors of the<br />
nineteenth century, Horatio Alger, Jr. Alger is an author of boy’s<br />
adventure stories whose heroes lead exemplary lives to strive<br />
and succeed in the face of adversity and poverty. His best known<br />
book is “Rags to Riches.”<br />
Currently on display is the history of K<strong>TCU</strong>-FM, the campus<br />
radio station. This mesmeric story examines the history about<br />
the early days of 88.7, “The Choice.”<br />

40th ANNIVERSARY EVENT<br />
A Gathering of Friends. A Milestone Celebration. The Friends of the <strong>TCU</strong><br />
<strong>Library</strong> celebrated 40 years of helping the <strong>Library</strong> preserve its excellence<br />
while continuing to enhance Special Collections and <strong>library</strong> services for<br />
<strong>TCU</strong> students and faculty. To celebrate this occasion, the Friends hosted a<br />
40th Anniversary event at the Harlan Crow <strong>Library</strong> with a presentation by<br />
Dr. Nowell Donovan. This affair brought together individuals who, over the<br />
years, have dedicated and supported the work of the Mary Couts Burnett<br />
<strong>Library</strong> and who also wanted to join in this wonderful and memorable<br />
celebration.

As the <strong>TCU</strong> Friends celebrate 40 years of its founding in 1972,<br />
the university recognizes the importance of the <strong>library</strong> in its quest<br />
to enhance the university experience by creating a world-class<br />
<strong>library</strong> that facilitates exploration and scholarship. Plans are<br />
underway for renovations and improvements that will strengthen<br />
the Mary Couts Burnett <strong>Library</strong> services, resources and overall<br />
experience. <strong>TCU</strong> and the <strong>library</strong> are all about the experience. It’s<br />
about opening minds and doors to success.<br />
What makes a really good <strong>library</strong> even better? In the case of Mary<br />
Couts Burnett <strong>Library</strong>, it is the Friends of the <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong>. Each<br />
year the Friends support the <strong>Library</strong> with special purchases for<br />
collections, the staff and facilities. In recent years the Friends<br />
provided funding for the purchase of C-19, a key database that<br />
indexes nineteenth century literature, funding for furniture in the<br />
Information Commons area and funding for a color digital book<br />
scanner which is used for scanning oversized books, maps, posters<br />
and fragile, older books. The Friends also have a long history of<br />
funding rare book purchases. For the last 40 years, the Friends of<br />
the <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong> have enriched our campus with their generosity.<br />
Friends membership is open to anyone who has an interest in<br />
<strong>Library</strong> programs and activities. We are proud of our <strong>Library</strong> and<br />
