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 />

speaking on current events,<br />

their publications or interesting<br />

topics in their field.<br />

handed out during the four-day<br />

event.<br />

TECHNOLOGY<br />

• Redesigned the Friends of<br />

the <strong>TCU</strong> <strong>Library</strong> website<br />

(http://<strong>library</strong>.tcu.edu/friend)<br />

• Roll out of Facebook, social<br />

networking outlet to help<br />

stay connected with students<br />

• Implemented Text-A-<br />

Librarian. This new service<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 />

encourage you to become a member of the Friends of the <strong>TCU</strong><br />

<strong>Library</strong> as <strong>TCU</strong> remains a gateway to global information for its<br />
