Eva
Jimenez Retires! 35 Years in the Making
By Rhonda Rios-Kravitz. Head, Access Services
When
asked what her plans are for the futures, Eva stated she
“is riding into the sunset”!! She leaves us
all with many terrific memories, including now this engaging
vision of her galloping away on a stallion to new adventures
and sueños (dreams). Eva began her career in the
Library in 1967. She was hired as a Clerical Assistant II
in Circulation under Taku Nimura and was promoted to a LA
I two years later. see

Perceptions
of Two New Academic Libraries
By Fred Batt, Library Administration
I
had the opportunity to tour two brand new academic libraries
over recent weeks. COLD met at CSU - San Marcos; the CARL
Board of Directors meeting was at Chapman University. (I
did send a short e-mail to Reference about the San Marcos
experience.) Overall, both buildings were attractive and
comfortable. Chapman was designed to be functional
while making a distinct architectural statement. San
Marcos was designed to be a place for knowledge, a
place for technology, a place for you. This included
a fireplace in an inspiring reading room. see

Value
of Professional Travel
By George Paganelis, Curator, Tsakopoulos
Hellenic Collection
Apart
from the opportunity to take in new sights, sounds and—ah,
yes, even smells—the value of professional travel
can hardly be overstated. Whether serving on a national
committee, attending a workshop, networking with colleagues,
or, usually, a combination of these things, leaving the
familiar confines of the library is doubly beneficial for
the new skills, knowledge and contacts one gains and the
fresh perspective and vigor one returns with from a sort
of “individual retreat.” see

From
the Editor...
As
we reach the first anniversary of this F2F reincarnation,
I wish to thank you for your support. Looking back in our
first year of publication, I hope F2F has achieved the goal
of covering part of the communication gap in our workplace.
Of course there is still room for improvement and growth.

Past, Present and Future
By
Carol Gebel, Exhibit Com. Chair
The
exhibit of posters: Providing Culturally Competent
Nursing Care is scheduled to be removed by the date
of this issue. The committee and Professor Altmann’s
class hope you have had a chance to view this Nursing
class project.
The December exhibit on the first floor is
Dolls of Color, which showcases just some of Rubby
Hampton’s extensive collection of black dolls.
Have you found the circus clown dolls or the cabbage
patch doll? Did you notice that one of the dolls
on the top shelf is really a lamp? My favorite is
the doll with the “minimalist” face.
This exhibit is complimented with a display of books
open to pages that portray black dolls, some from
nineteenth-century America and from African countries.
In January Mark Fox Morgan’s Collages will
be exhibited on the walls of the third floor of
the library. A graduate student in art at Sacramento
State, Mark’s work features large canvases
on which his artistic vision shines. Mark’s
work has been shown throughout northern California
and he has a website: markfoxmorgan.com. This exhibit
is planned to open January 5, 2005 and continue
through January 27, 2005.
An exhibit focusing on the youth and ministry
of Martin Luther King, Jr. will be exhibited on
the first floor in January. The Reverend’s
educational background and his religious views that
influenced his leadership of the Civil Rights Movement
will be the emphasis of this exhibit. The book display
case will feature children’s books about Martin
Luther King.
