The end of each academic year brings many goodbyes, both farewells to graduating students and to members of our career staff who will retire in 2018.

We would like to recognize and celebrate the following UCR Library colleagues, who shared snippets of their UCR history with us:

Diane David

Music Cataloger Diane David started as a student assistant in UCR’s Music department in 1971 and later transitioned to working in the Music Library’s listening room. After finishing her B.A. in 1973, she was hired as a music cataloger, one of three in UCR Library’s history.

With 45 years of service, David might hold the record for the longest-running career at UCR Library. “It has been interesting to see the industry change and to see the impact technology has had on our work,” she said, recalling her earliest days with hand-typed cards for the public catalog and all the various changes in technology she has witnessed since then.

Those years have also contained many great memories, including having Maya Angelou as the commencement speaker when David earned her M.A., Scot’s Week, and a very distinct campus prank in the early 1980s. “One year, we arrived early in the morning to find that the Bell Tower had a giant arrow through the top of it,” David explained. “Remember Steve Martin, the comedian who would come on stage with a headband that looked like an arrow through his head? This was a giant version of that.”

After retirement, David will miss seeing friends and colleagues on a daily basis, but looks forward to continuing her career in theater, which is booked well into the next year.

Kit Rembert

Preservation Assistant Cynthia “Kit” Rembert started her career at UCR Library in September 1977 as a typist clerk, and will retire this year from her role as a supervisor of special projects and processing. “Coming to work at UC Riverside in the libraries has been a blessing,” Rembert said.

Her favorite memories include special moments with colleagues at celebrations to acknowledge retiring staff. “I also have a lot of good memories from working on special projects with different people in all areas of the libraries,” she said.

Rembert recalls one day when she and a few colleagues got locked down in the sub-basement at Rivera Library for about 30 minutes. “The elevator broke down and we had to wait for someone to come around to open the side entrance,” she explained. “The only thing we could do was look at some old books and tell some family stories.”

Another vivid memory, Rembert said, was when the library’s namesake Dr. Tomás Rivera passed away on May 16, 1984. “He was held in the highest regard on this campus,” she added. “He was gone too soon.”

Julia Ree

Metadata Cataloger Julia Ree has held many roles at the UCR Library since 1978, when she was hired as a student assistant in the Reserve Book Room on the first floor of Rivera Library. She has also worked in stacks maintenance, public services, acquisitions, cataloging, and for 12 years as the subject specialist for the Eaton Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

She met her husband of almost 36 years, Bob, at the public services counter in December 1980 when he was looking for weekend box office statistics for the Star Trek motion picture. “You could say that Star Trek brought us together! You could also say that having the same last name at birth was a contributing factor, but it’s the UCR Library space that made it all happen,” Ree said.

Ree’s favorite memories include organizing the 2013 Eaton Conference, at which they presented the Eaton Lifetime Achievement Award to Stan Lee. Another fond memory was in 2014, when Ree received the “Staff Who Make a Difference” award from Campus Staff Assembly. “I have worked many decades to create a quality to my work,” she said. “This, above all else, recognized my commitment to those we serve and I will be forever grateful to be singled out in this meaningful way.”

Josie Arreola

Josie Arreola was first hired at UCR as a receptionist in the Physical Plant / Grounds department; she joined the library in 1980. This year, she will retire from her position as a Collection Maintenance Assistant in Rivera Library.

In her 38 years at UCR Library, Arreola said she has been most fond of gatherings with student employees and staff colleagues, particularly the Thanksgiving Feast, as well as other on-campus events including University Club and holiday parties. Of the most unusual thing that happened to her on the job, Arreola said, “One week, I took like three security reports due to people trying to steal books, or damaging them.” What she will miss most about working at UCR Library is her co-workers and friends.

Maria Mendoza

Assistant Unit Supervisor of the Interlibrary Loan Unit, Maria Mendoza has been part of the UCR Library team since 1992. During that time, Mendoza said that she has collected too many fond memories to choose any favorites among them.

“But what I will miss the most is superior staff, our splendid students and phenomenal faculty,” she said.

In addition to her work at the library, Mendoza also taught Hawaiian dance classes to a group of UCR staff, faculty and students as part of the Mobile Fit program. A dedicated group of her dance students would sometimes perform as part of the Mission Inn’s Festival of Lights and at other community events.

After retirement, Mendoza plans to visit her native state of Hawaii and also to travel to the Philippines for the first time.

Rhonda Neugebauer

Collection Strategist for the Arts and Humanities Rhonda Neugebauer joined the UCR Library in 2001 as the Bibliographer for Latin American and Iberian Studies.

Her favorite memories include National Library Week postcards, “Edible Book” celebrations, the 2-millionth volume panel and reception, and celebrations with colleagues such as the library’s Student Employee Picnic and Thanksgiving Feast and Staff Association events. “I enjoyed seeing us as a group, united in our efforts to wholeheartedly support the library and library colleagues and enthusiastically serve our students, faculty and staff,” Neugebauer said.

When asked what she will miss most about working at UCR Library, she replied, “Co-workers who helped me, supported me, nurtured me, mentored me, stood with me during the rough times, and empathized with me when the news was sad, bitter and unthinkable.”

Her funniest memory was when an earthquake hit during a job candidate’s presentation in the Rivera Library. “When the speaker momentarily suspended his remarks ad asked, ‘Was that an earthquake?’ All the library colleagues who had already logged on to the shake map were able to report immediately to the candidate, ‘It wasn’t too bad, it was just a 3.4,’” she said. “Then we all laughed at how quickly everyone felt, reported and critiqued the shaking!”

***

The UCR Library would like to thank each of our retiring staff members, both those who are named here and those who wish to remain anonymous. We are grateful to have had you as our colleagues and friends, we appreciate your many years of excellent service, and we wish you all the best in your future!

An exhibition with selections from The Breck Collection of Photographs by Henri Cartier-Bresson is now on display at the UCR Library.

Free and open to the public, the exhibition, “Picturing the World: The Work of Henri Cartier-Bresson” is open in the Reading Room of the Special Collections and University Archives Department, located on the fourth floor of the Tomás Rivera Library. Visitors can attend Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. from Monday, Oct. 18 through December 17, 2021.

In November 2019, Special Collections received a generous donation from Dennis and Pamela Beck of thirty eight vintage prints created by the renowned French photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson. The COVID-19 campuswide closure forced SCUA to delay the launch of this exhibition until campus reopened in fall 2021.

“UCR Special Collections & University Archives was privileged to receive the Beck Collection of Photographs,” said Cherry Williams, Director of Distinctive Collections. “Chronicling decisive moments of human life around the world, Cartier Bresson’s work epitomizes a clarity of vision and intellectual rigor that few can rival. We are delighted to be able to share these wonderful photographs in this exhibition.”

Cartier-Bresson, an early pioneer of wartime photojournalism in the 1940s, was also a seminal figure in the establishment of humane, spontaneous photojournalism as an art form. About his work, Cartier-Bresson wrote: “The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give-and-take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box… To photograph is to hold one’s breath, when all faculties converge to capture fleeting reality. It’s at that precise moment that mastering an image becomes a great physical and intellectual joy.”

All members of the UC Riverside community are invited to explore the work of this masterful photographer on the fourth floor of the Rivera Library.

January 2017 saw the release of Duplicator Underground: The Independent Publishing Industry in Communist Poland, 1976-89 (Slavica Publishers), edited by UCR Deputy University Librarian Ann Frenkel, retired UCR Librarian Gwido Zlatkes, and Polish historian Paweł Sowiński.

The book is the first comprehensive scholarly discussion in English of Polish independent publishing in the 1970s and 1980s. Underground publishing reached a semi-industrial scale and represented a significant social movement which ultimately contributed to the end of Communism in Poland. The book sheds light onto the phenomenon of the Polish so-called “second circulation,” including discussions of various aspects of underground printing, distribution, and circulation of independent publications.  The book includes scholarly essays as well as primary source documents.

Deputy University Librarian Frenkel and Zlatkes, a librarian with graduate degrees in philology and Jewish history, have been working together for almost 20 years as translators and editors. This volume represents their collaboration with Professor Sowinski who is a specialist in underground publishing in East-Central Europe, dissident movements, mass-leisure, and festivals.

While working in both Special Collections and in Metadata Services in the UCR Library, Zlatkes noticed that many of the fanzines in the Eaton Collection of Science Fiction and Fantasy had been printed in the same way that most underground publications were made when he lived in Poland and was involved as a journalist and editor with the Polish dissident movement during the late 1970s and 1980s.

Zlatkes stated in the book’s introduction that while scholarly writings to date frequently recognize the role of independent publishing in the Polish anticommunist dissident movement, very little exists that focuses on the technical aspect of printing and production. Duplicator Underground is intended to fill that void.

The genesis for this book came in 2011, when Zlatkes was awarded the American Printing History Association Mark Samuels Lasner Fellowship in Printing History, and embarked on a six-week scouting trip to Poland. Further research was supported by grants from the Librarians Association of the University of California. Then in 2013-2014, when Zlatkes was selected as a Fulbright Research Scholar, he spent nine months studying underground printing in Poland at the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Sciences. This research cemented the collaboration between the three editors, particularly with Paweł Sowiński who helped form the active network of authors who contributed their scholarly output for the book.

 In addition to scholarly articles, “Duplicator Underground” includes contemporary narratives and testimonies from publishers, editors, printers, distributors, and even police officials. The book shares stories about how anonymous activists and near-obsolete technologies changed history amidst a climate of government censorship where printing anything without state permission – even obituaries and wedding invitations – was deemed a punishable offense.

Frenkel said, “This anthology is valuable not only for researchers, but also for use in teaching. What better way to introduce students to the topic than reading firsthand about the methods employed by underground printers to evade a police 'tail,' or a detailed description of homespun printing techniques that use underwear elastic and laundry detergent?”

Duplicator Underground is available at the UCR Library, as well as for purchase from Amazon.

On Thurs., Aug. 6, the UCR Library’s new series Faculty Profiles in Research, Art and Innovation will welcome Clifford E. Trafzer, Distinguished Professor of History and Rupert Costo Chair in American Indian Affairs.

During his presentation, Fighting Invisible Enemies Among Southern California Indians 1900-1950, Trafzer will discuss how Southern California Indian communities combined Western and Native medicine in fighting infectious disease. He will also answer questions submitted by viewers at least 48 hours before the broadcast.

“COVID-19 presents the same challenges known in the 1930s-1940s,” Trafzer explained. “But politicians who have no knowledge of fighting invisible enemies are presently determining the national course of action to deal with COVID-19, which has disproportionately caused death among communities of color.”

Fighting Invisible Enemies traces this transition among inhabitants of the Mission Indian Agency of Southern California from the late nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century. Between 1922 and 1948, Southern California Indian Service doctors and nurses fought the dreaded mycobacterium tuberculosis by testing, tracking, tracing, and isolating which lowered the number of cases and deaths.

All members of the UC Riverside community and surrounding areas are welcome and encouraged to attend this event, which is the second installment of the Faculty Profiles in Research, Art & Innovation series.

Please RSVP in order to receive the link to join the livestream broadcast from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. Pacific Time on Aug. 6.

Up next in the series:

• Fall quarter - Oct. 8: Stu Krieger, Professor of screen and television writing in UCR’s Department of Theatre, Film & Digital Production

More dates for the series will be announced soon.

Lecture and musical performance will show the evolution of the instrument from its African roots to contemporary times

By Ross French

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (www.ucr.edu) — Master banjo player and historian Curtis Wright will explore the historical roots of the instrument and other African-derived elements in bluegrass music in a special performance on Friday, February 22, 2013 at 12 noon in room 240 of the Orbach Science Library at the University of California, Riverside.

The performance, titled “The African-American Banjo: A Musical Journey from Slavery to Contemporary Times” is sponsored by the Librarians Association of UCR and is a part of the campus’ celebration of Black History Month throughout February.

“Curtis is a wonderful musician. I take any opportunity I can to hear him play” said Christina R. Cicchetti, reference  and educational services librarian and the organizer of the event. “It is a real privilege to share his talent with the campus community. He is particularly knowledgeable on the history of the banjo and its African roots. This event will be both a fun and informative opportunity to celebrate Black History Month.”

Wright’s appearance is a combination lecture and musical performance that traces the origins of the banjo from its roots in Africa as the West African kora, through its evolution from a handmade instrument made and used by African-American slaves to its current position as a mainstay instrument in country, folk, traditional and bluegrass music.

The predecessor of today’s banjo traveled to North America with slaves brought from Africa.

In a career that spans nearly four decades, Wright has worked as a professional cowboy, educator and is currently a circuit pastor as well as an in-demand musician, having performed with Buck Page and the Riders of the Purple Sage, the Frank Wakefield Band and Jimmy Collier. In addition to the banjo, Wright plays violin, mandolin, harmonica, guitar and the Indian flute.

The event is free and open to the public. Metered visitor parking is available in Lot 10 or a parking permit may be purchased at the parking kiosk near University Avenue.

Wright’s appearance is one of several events being held throughout the month of February in celebration of Black History Month at UCR.

Who could have predicted that a connection between two scholars would one day establish a crucial pillar of the Sikh Studies program here at UC Riverside.

Considered one of the greatest historians of his time, New Zealand scholar Dr. William Hewat “Hew” McLeod (1932-2009) demonstrated a life-long commitment to critical scholarship that set him aside from his contemporaries. He was dedicated to research on the dissimilar areas of Sikh history that gave the discipline an international recognition in the present-day globalized world.

McLeod was always generous with his time and did whatever he could to help younger scholars find their own paths. McLeod’s contribution to Sikh Studies included mentoring students who now hold positions of prominence within the field, including UCR’s Dr. Pashaura Singh, Endowed Chair of the Department of Religious Studies since 2008.

As a result, thanks to McLeod’s long-standing professional relationship with Singh, upon his passing in 2009 McLeod’s widow gave UC Riverside the first right of refusal to acquire his personal collection of more than 3,000 books, manuscripts and other materials devoted to Sikh Studies. Other universities and Sikh organizations from New Zealand to the UK also coveted McLeod’s library.

In 2011, the UCR Library, the Department of Religious Studies, the Holstein Family and Community Endowed Chair, the Sikh Studies Endowed Chair and Dr. Singh himself all contributed funds toward the acquisition of McLeod’s personal collection. The W.H. McLeod Collection of Sikh Studies is now held in the Tomás Rivera Library.

Possessing the McLeod Collection has helped to elevate UCR’s Sikh Studies program above all other universities in the U.S., according to Singh. “It’s a very important collection. Certain items are quite rare and not available anywhere else in the world. It’s widely known to scholars that we have the collection, and they envy us. At this stage, ours is the leading Sikh Studies program in North America.”

A highly controversial scholar, McLeod authored more than 20 books, introducing Sikhism to both academic and popular audiences in the English-speaking world. “He single handedly introduced, nourished, and advanced the field of Sikh Studies in the western world for more than four decades,” Singh explained. “His writings have become the yardstick for scholarly works; anyone who wants to work in Sikh Studies must handle McLeod’s arguments.”

In the late 1980s, during a five-year term as a visiting scholar from his native New Zealand, McLeod supervised Singh’s research at the University of Toronto as Singh sought to become the first-ever Sikh Studies PhD candidate in Canada.

Being McLeod’s protege meant that Singh also became a target for controversy; but leadership at UCR has been supportive, he explained. Singh invites critics and scholars from across the globe to contribute to scholarly discourse every other year at UCR’s Sikh Studies Conference. Next year, the 7th Sikh Studies Conference will be held online from May 7-8, 2021. The information about the conference will be posted on the website of Dr. Jasbir Singh Saini Endowed Chair.

UCR students looking for support with their coursework, research, or general library questions have another valuable resource at their disposal: librarians are now available at the Help Desk in Rivera Library. 

Located at the combined Library Support/IT Support Desk, this service offers in-person help for a wide range of needs. Since the start of the academic year, the number of students seeking in-person help has increased by 32% compared to the same period last year, demonstrating that more students are turning to the library for guidance.  

Bringing librarians back to the Help Desk is part of the library’s efforts to support students in their academic success. According to Britt Foster, Director of Teaching and Learning, this change helps ensure students have access to the guidance they need when navigating their research and assignments. “Student success research has demonstrated that relationships with university faculty and staff have a positive impact on student engagement and sense of belonging: by having librarians very visible and available to our students, the hope is the Help Desk is a place where these relationships can form,” Britt said.

Today’s information landscape is increasingly complex, and students often need support not only in finding sources but also in evaluating them. Britt explained that “now it’s less about finding information, and more about efficiently navigating the flood to find high quality, relevant resources.” Librarians can help students develop these skills, offering practical strategies for identifying credible materials and managing research challenges.

Students are encouraged to visit the Help Desk for a wide variety of questions, from finding books and e-books to developing effective search strategies. Librarians are also equipped to help students verify citations, particularly as issues with inaccurate references generated by AI tools have become more common.

“We can help with almost anything”, Britt says. “Probably the unofficial model of reference is, I might not know the answer, but I know how to find it.”

Britt emphasized that students should feel comfortable seeking help at any stage of their research process. “Wherever you are in your research process, we’re excited to join you there,” she said. “Librarians want research help to feel like a warm conversation where we focus on getting you to your goals.”

Trained student assistants are also available at the Help Desk in both libraries. Their work not only supports patrons but contributes to their own professional growth. One student assistant researched technology to improve accessibility at the Help Desk, while another is developing a guide for evaluating social media posts. These projects reflect the library’s commitment to both quality service and meaningful mentorship experiences.

For students looking to get the most out of their visit to the Help Desk, Britt recommends bringing assignment details, if possible, as this can help librarians connect students with the most relevant resources. Most importantly, she encourages students to visit sooner rather than later. “The only thing that kills us at the desk is when our upper division or grad students say, I wish I had known I could get this kind of help from the library sooner! ”

Librarians are available at the Rivera Library Help Desk, located at the combined Library Support/IT Support Desk, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Students are encouraged to stop by, ask questions, and take full advantage of this valuable support system.

A display highlighting selected items from the personal archival collection of Arthur C. Harmon and his career as a Tuskegee Airman is set to open on June 6 in UCR Library's Special Collections Department.

Community members can visit the display on the fourth floor of Tomas Rivera Library in the Special Collections Reading Room Mondays through Fridays between the hours of 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. until August 3.

Born in Topeka, Kansas on June 26, 1925, Harmon was raised in Los Angeles, California, where as young child he became captivated by aviation through radio programs such as the Air Adventures of Jimmie Allen and model airplane building.

In 1943, Harmon decided to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a pilot by joining the United States Army Air Corps. He trained at the Tuskegee Army Air Field and graduated from class TE-45-G as a Second Lieutenant on October 16, 1945. While this group never saw action in World War II as Japan surrendered before their training was completed, Harmon maintained a lifelong commitment to the organization.

Following his discharge from the US Air Force, Harmon pursued his other lifelong interest while studying music at what is now Pepperdine University.

Recalled to the USAF in 1951, Harmon continued his career in the military with assignments to the Strategic Air Command, Alaskan Air Command, and in the Major Air Command Aircraft Accident Prevention of the 4500th Air Base Wing before retiring in 1968 as a Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force Reserve.

In his honor, in 2008 a soil exposure on Mars was named after Harmon and investigated by the Mars Exploration Rover, Spirit, as a target of scientific interest.

Other materials belonging to Harmon, such as his personal Bible with its metal jacket, his flying helmet, his survival kit and his dog tag chain can be viewed and enjoyed in the permanent Tuskegee Airman exhibition in the Rivera Library first floor reception area.

Additional information regarding the Arthur C. Harmon papers can be found here in the Online Archive of California.

When UCR alumnus Dr. Mark Glassy heard that the library was putting together an exhibit to honor the 200^th anniversary of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, he couldn’t wait to get involved.

Our Jay Kay and Doris Klein Librarian for Science Fiction, JJ Jacobson and her co-curator, graduate student Miranda Butler had been curating the scholarly exhibit for about six months when Glassy reached out to express interest in collaboration.

“Miranda is a grad student in the English department and the SFCS (Speculative Fiction and Cultures of Science) program, and she knows amazing amounts of things about gothic literature,” Jacobson explained. But Glassy brings something very different to the table: a life-long love affair with monster memorabilia and science fiction.

Glassy invited Butler, Jacobson, and Cherry Williams, UCR Library’s Director of Distinctive Collections, to view his extensive personal collection of models, comic books, and other memorabilia. Jacobson nicknamed Glassy’s home “the monster model mansion,” a nod to the title of his former website, The Doctor’s Model Mansion.

Glassy himself sculpted many of the pieces in his collection, and therefore they are one-of-a-kind. “Mark is willing to lend us some of his models for the exhibit and/or an accompanying display,” Jacobson stated enthusiastically.

“It’s such an honor to be with somebody while they show you what their passion is, what they’ve collected over the course of a lifetime,” Williams commented.

Their collaboration has been a meeting of the minds for several people who truly love the genre. “He’s really, really smart about Frankenstein as an enduring icon,” Jacobson said of Glassy. Their conversations sometimes spark new tangents, she added, which inspire an entirely new vein of research for exhibit content.

“He loves that we want to talk to him seriously about science fiction. All of us are taking our geekdom and our love of science fiction and using it to do something amazing in the world,” Jacobson added. “Mark is a big-time cancer hero, and Miranda is an incredibly insightful and promising graduate student. We know here at UCR that a love of science fiction can coexist with a serious intellectual life. Other parts of the world can be a little slower to catch up.”

The “200 Years of Frankenstein” exhibit is scheduled to begin in September 2018, in Special Collections on the fourth floor of Rivera Library.
