LIBRARY PROGRAMS RECAP
This past academic year has been
another busy one, featuring a variety of programs that spanned the
disciplines – from agriculture to 3D
printing and computer science.
GOING TO
THE DOGS
Dogmen are
the workers behind the sport
of greyhound
racing: they
care for, breed,
train, and race
these unique
dogs. Last August, the NCSU
Libraries’ own
Gwynn
Thayer,
Gwyneth Thayer
associate head
and curator of the Libraries’ Special
Collections, talked about her book,
Going to the Dogs: Greyhound Racing, Animal Activism, and American
Popular Culture, and shared fascinating information on dogmen’s
historic role in the sport as well as
their role as animal caretakers.
Adam Rogers (NCSU
Librarian), Dr. Ola
Harrysson (Industrial and
Systems Engineering),
Chuck Hull (3D
printing inventor),
and Dr. Michael
Dickey (Chemical
and Biomolecular
Engineering) joined our
panel to discuss the
future of 3D printing.
WOMEN IN
COMPUTER SCIENCE
In November, the NCSU
Libraries hosted a screening of the documentary
SHE++, which exposes the alarming dearth of women in computer
science and programming. For
example, from 2000 to 2011,
the number of first-year female
undergraduates who expressed
interest in a computer science
major declined 79%. This statistic
has ramifications for America’s
ability to provide enough qualified
graduates to meet the growing
demand for workers in the field.
Following the screening, a panel of
NC State professors, students, and
visiting guest Melanie Donny-Clark,
senior software engineer at Google,
discussed strategies for getting
more young women interested in
computer science.
AMAZING ALUMNI AND
STELLAR STUDENTS
Alumni Richard Holcomb ’89
shared his career journey as part
of the NCSU Libraries’ Amazing
Alumni Series. After receiving an
M.S. in Computer Science from NC
State, Holcomb helped start multimillion-dollar technology companies
and won awards as an entrepreneur
and business leader. Then, in 2004,
Holcomb changed course, purchasing the sustainable Coon Rock
Farm in Hillsborough and becoming
a leader in the sustainable agriculture movements in our community.

READ SMART
The engaging Read Smart series
continued, as NC State professors
shared their expertise with readers in an ongoing book discussion
series held at Cameron Village
Regional Library.
FIRESIDE TALES
For the fourth year in a row, NCSU
Libraries staff shared their talents in
Fireside Tales, a holiday celebration
with live music, stories, treats, and
crafts for kids and their families.
STUDENT SHORT FILM
SHOWCASE
In February, the NCSU Libraries
hosted the fourth annual Student
Short Film Showcase – two nights
packed with extraordinary 16mm
films, videos, and animations, all
created by students, all under five
minutes long.
3D PRINTING INNOVATORS
Also in August, NC State scholars
who use and study 3D printing
shared the stage with Chuck Hull,
the inventor of 3D printing, to talk
about how 3D printing is transforming the way NC State brings ideas
to life, both inside and outside the
classroom.

THE HUNT LIBRARY
FEATURED IN PBS
ARCHITECTURE TV
SERIES, COOL SPACES
We have all known for a long time
that the Hunt Library was ready for
prime time. But now so does the rest
of the country.
Late this spring the building was
extensively profiled in the nationally
syndicated PBS series, Cool Spaces!
(http://www.coolspaces.tv), a new
prime time program designed to
“profile some of this century’s most
exciting architecture in the U.S.”
Sponsored by the American Institute
of Architects (AIA) and hosted
by Boston architect and educator
Stephen Chung, the new series
focuses “on presenting cutting-edge,
contemporary public buildings and
spaces and the daring architects who
push the boundaries of design and
materials.” The program is appearing
on over 100 public television stations
across the country, with coverage
in about 95% of households with
televisions.
However, you can see a trailer
at go.ncsu.edu/coolspaces. The
companion book to Cool Spaces!—
also featuring the Hunt Library—can
be from ordered from Amazon.com.
Because the series is still under
syndication, the Hunt Library episode
is not yet available on the Internet.

SEEING POSSIBILITIES
FOR WEARABLE
COMPUTING
MAKING GOOGLE
GLASS™ AVAILABLE
TO RESEARCHERS ON
CAMPUS
User Experience
Librarian Adrienne Lai
demonstrates Google
Glass for students
gathered at the Apple
Technology Showcase
in the Hunt Library.
“Of course we’d like to play with
it. We’ll take it for a week and
push it to its limits.” That was
the plan when Sina Bahram
and Arpan Chakraborty picked up
the first Google Glass™ available
from the Hunt Library. And when
two ambitious Ph.D. candidates take
a promising new technology for a
workout in the Computer Science
Knowledge Discovery Lab, interesting
things are bound to happen.
That’s the mission of the Libraries’
Technology Lending Service: make
things happen by making it easy
for students and faculty to put their
hands on tools that are changing
how we learn, research, and earn our
livings.
By mounting a small screen in a
glasses frame and allowing the wearer
to use its onboard computing, optical,
and audio power, Glass hopes to
fundamentally transform how we
interact with computers.
Imagine yourself on vacation in
Japan, for instance. Then look at a
traffic sign or a menu and ask your
glasses to translate it for you. Trying
a challenging home repair? Just log
into a website and have a master
carpenter use the tiny camera on your
glasses to see exactly what you are
looking at and guide you through the
work. That’s the promise.
Though Glass isn’t generally available
yet, the Libraries was able to obtain
one through Google’s Explorer
program, allowing researchers on
campus to get a head start working
with it.
Bahram and Chakraborty focused
on two opportunities during their
week with Glass. First, Glass has
relatively limited computing power
and requires developers to work with
Google’s programming languages.
Within the week, though, the two
had the Glass exchanging data with
external servers, supplying all the
horsepower anyone could want and
allowing fellow students to start
programing with whatever language
they thought would work best. This
extra power and flexibility opened
the door to a core research interest
for the lab, using Glass to improve
accessibility for the visually impaired.
The technology can and will be
transformative for people with
limited vision, explained Bahram,
who is blind himself. Imagine, he
explained, having your glasses tell you
“ . . . USING NOVEL AND
INNOVATIVE METHODS”

the cab you ordered has arrived by
looking at the traffic in front of you,
matching cars and colors against a
database, and letting you know when
the red 2013 Ford Fusion has pulled
up to the curb. Or picking up a can
and having your Glass scan its bar
code and read out the contents. Or
scanning a room as you enter, letting
Glass use facial recognition software
to check against photos in your
iPhone contact list and tell you which
of your friends are at the meeting or
party.
“Labs on campus might be hesitant
at first to spend their research dollars
on an unproven tool,” concludes
Chakraborty. “But the Libraries’
Tech Lending Service lets them see
how useful it is and move forward
quickly.” Equally important, adds
Bahram, “this is a great service for
students who are going out and
applying for a job at a startup. . . .
When they can say—‘Yes, I’ve played
with Google Glass for a semester;
I understand how to develop for
it’—that’s a big opportunity, a huge
competitive advantage.”
The social media application was
honored along with three other
programs nationwide “that are
serving their communities using
novel and innovative methods”
and that can be replicated by other
libraries to improve their services.
Over 1,200 visitors to the new
library used the app to upload over
3,600 of their favorite photos of
the new library. The result: some
great images for all to see and an
outpouring of pride in the new
facility.

AUTHOR MICHAEL
POLLAN SPEAKS AT
HUNT LIBRARY
On May 16, the NCSU Libraries
Friends of the Library and Quail
Ridge Books & Music co-hosted
Michael Pollan, bestselling author
of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, for a
sold-out event in the Hunt Library
Auditorium. Pollan read from his
most recent book, Cooked: A Natural
History of Transformation, which
features local barbecue pit-master Ed
Mitchell (who was in attendance).
Audience members then took the
opportunity to ask Pollan his opinion
on high-profile food topics such
as the debate over gluten and the
concern about genetically modified
foods. The Friends of the Library

LIBRARIES FACING
BUDGET CUTS
As part of the budget reductions
levied on the university by the
North Carolina General Assembly,
the Libraries is absorbing a cut of
more than $1.3 million for the fiscal
year 2013/14, about 5% of our total
budget. To meet these budget
cuts, we have had to eliminate 27
positions and are currently canceling
subscriptions to 642 journal titles.
In addition, hours have been cut in
the branch libraries, and the D. H.
Hill Library and the Hunt Library are
planning to substantially reduce the
number of days per week when they
are open 24 hours to meet the study
and research schedules of students
and faculty.
Unfortunately, it is also possible that
the university and the Libraries will
face further cuts in the fiscal year that
begins July 1, 2014.

NCSU LIBRARIES
ACQUIRES 80
YEARS OF ANIMAL
RIGHTS AND
ANIMAL WELFARE
PAMPHLETS
Of significant
scholarly and
historical
importance, the
collection spans a
period of over eighty
years from the 1870s
to the 1950s, and
includes a wealth
of promotional,
advocacy, and
educational
materials that shed
Dr. Tom Regan
light on the moral,
social, medical and
political dimensions
of this complex movement.
To expand its collection strengths
in Animal Rights and Welfare,
the Libraries Special Collections
Research Center (SCRC) has
acquired an important collection
of nearly 400 rare pamphlets and
other works relating to animal
advocacy, animal rights, and animal
welfare. These materials enhance
the Libraries’ collecting efforts in an
interdisciplinary field that engages
scholars across the humanities,
human and veterinary
medicine, and the sciences.
Download the Android version at:
go.ncsu.edu/libtourandroid
The new collection is already being
put to use in NC State classrooms. A
selection of the pamphlets was used
to introduce students to primary
source materials in a Biology class
on Human-Animal
Interaction. SCRC
staff is now working
with faculty to develop
a class assignment
using the historical
pamphlets and
contrasting them
with contemporary
animal rights and
welfare records from
the collections for the
upcoming Fall 2014
semester.
The acquisition of these
pamphlets builds on
the NCSU Libraries’
leadership in this
6 | FOCUS - NCSU Libraries
collecting area and
augments existing
archival processing
initiatives including
Acting for Animals:
Revealing the Records
of Animal Rights
and Animal Welfare
Movements, a 2011
grant that documents
the animal welfare
and the animal rights
movements of the
second half of the 20th
century. The Acting
for Animals grant was
supported with funding from the
Council on Library and Information
Resources.
Dr. Tom Regan, Professor Emeritus
of Philosophy at NC State, notes
that “before the recent acquisition,
the library’s holdings were the
most comprehensive in the world.
With the addition of these new
materials, especially the ones from
the nineteenth century, the library
has strengthened its claim to
preeminence.” The depth and breadth
of the NCSU Libraries’ collections
now provide a rich trove of primary
resources to support research in
animal advocacy, rights, and welfare
from the 1870s to the present.

Wins the John Cotton Dana Award
R
ecognized for substantially raising the
profile of NC State University to a global
audience, the communications around the
opening the of the James B. Hunt Jr. Library have
been honored with what is often billed as the library
world’s most prestigious traditional prize: the John
Cotton Dana Library Public Relations Award.
Sponsored by EBSCO, the H.W. Wilson Foundation, and the American Library Association (ALA),
the award has been given annually since 1946 to
celebrate powerful campaigns that demonstrate the
value of libraries to their users, funders, and donors.
The Hunt Library communications were especially
singled out for creating “a bold, new campaign that
helped the community imagine ‘The Library of the
Future.’” “Beyond the great technology, incredible
facility and impressive media coverage, the true star
of this campaign,” the award concluded, “was the

AWARD-WINNING LIBRARIES
FORM AND FUNCTION
THE HUNT LIBRARY CITED FOR TOP INTERIOR DESIGN
“Wonder if there will come a time
when people take their first steps into
the Hunt Library without that look of
awe on their faces? Hope not.”
If this recent student
tweet captures some of
what you felt when you
walked into the space for
the first time, then you
now have professionals
who share and salute your
tastes.
Students especially
appreciate the
functional spaces,
the comfortable
modern furniture,
and the bright clear
circulation provided
by the interior design
of the Hunt Library.
The Hunt Library has been
awarded one of this year’s
ALA/IIDA Library Interior
Design Awards. Sponsored by
the International Interior Design
Association and the American
Library Association, the award
honors “excellence in aesthetics,
design, creativity, function, and
satisfaction of the client’s objectives.”
The Hunt Library was recognized as
winner of the “Academic Libraries, Over
30,000 sq. ft.” category.
The Hunt Library’s lead designer was
Snøhetta; its executive architects were Clark Nexsen;
and Another Inside Job consulted on interior
design. Gwendolyn Emery—the NCSU Libraries’
Director of Library Environments—as well as other
library staff, also played a significant role in
envisioning and creating the interior of
the building.

SUMMIT HELD AT THE

we collaborate,
share talent, and

The Second
Annual Designing
Libraries for the
21st Century
Conference was
the perfect venue
for continuing the
discussions—both
theoretical and
practical—of how
to conceive and
build great libraries in the age of the digital, the age
of collaboration. And the new Hunt Library was the
perfect venue to help inspire those conversations.
Sponsored by the NCSU Libraries, the University of
Calgary, and the Coalition for Networked Information, the summit brought together almost 250 library
leaders, higher education visionaries, architects, and
others from the United States, Canada, Europe, and
Australia on October 6-8, 2013.
After a preconference day on “Technology Planning
for a 21st Century Academic Library” that explored
the skills, staffing, and the culture of change needed
to implement an ambitious technology program
in an academic library, Vice Provost and Director
of Libraries Susan Nutter opened the conference
itself with a talk on “Realizing the Vision,” a recap
24 | FOCUS - NCSU Libraries
of how the Hunt Library became a reality. Joan
Lippincott, one of the profession’s most valued and
grounded futurists, widened the discussion to the
ways that library spaces can foster learning in this
generation of students. A crowd favorite was Dr.
Michael Young’s “One Professor’s View on the Hunt’s
Research-Enabling Design—or How I Learned to
Stop Worrying and Love the Library.” Professor
Young, from NC State’s Department of Computer
Science, was an early and dedicated partner in envisioning how technology in the Hunt Library could
be a competitive edge for the university, especially
in the Game Lab, which he now actively uses in his
teaching, research, and as a key resource for the
university’s Digital Games Research Center.
The NCSU Libraries is continuing the discussion by
providing periodic two-day “Library of the Future”
symposia for professionals from libraries and other
organizations who are considering or embarking on
renovation or building programs of their own.

and described how excited they were

Donor Spotlight: Dr. Ricky and Kim Bloomfield
“...Living up to its promise...”
Young alumni make library support a
rallying point
A
t 17, Dr. Ricky Bloomfield (’04) had pretty definite
plans to attend a prestigious local private university.
NC State only made it on his list as “backup school.”
Until he visited.
The Park Scholarship he was offered was a significant
draw, but it was really the sense of excitement and what he
calls “the immersion in innovation” that he experienced on
his brief trip to campus that set the direction for the rest of
his life.
Just listing Ricky’s undergraduate majors and minors gives
you some sense of what he cherished at NC State. There
are four—Chemistry, Secondary Education, Saxophone
Performance, and Spanish. He’s not one to be put in a box.
That ability to range wide and deep across disciplines led
quickly not only to a medical degree, but to the successful
iOS apps company he began while still in medical school.
Soon he was engrossed in figuring out new ways that
mobile applications could help transform the medical field,
letting him, as he explains, “combine my passion taking
care of patients one at a time with helping out patients
millions at a time with medical technology.” Dr. Bloomfield
is currently Director, Mobile Technology Strategy for Duke
Health Technology Solutions, as well as Assistant Professor
in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics at Duke University.
Ricky’s wife, Kim Bloomfield (‘02 in Chemistry and Textile
Chemistry), first learned about the Hunt Library on a tour
while she was president of the Park Scholars Alumni Society, back when the building was still under construction.
“I got excited about it,” she says with some understatement, given the couple’s ongoing passionate support of the
new space. “Knowing how much Ricky loves technology
and how much I loved studying up in the stacks at D. H.
Hill, it was something we became interested in supporting.”
“We are highly into education—and we have kids and want
them to be excited about learning. It was a way that I could
see getting my own children excited about NC State. And
I was sure that the new iconic library would be a benefit to
recruiting for the Park Scholarships.” Their two daughters,
Ricky explains, will no doubt be NC State, Class of 2028.
“When the Hunt Library was announced, packed full of
technology—which is no surprise given NC State’s talents,
areas of focus, and research—it really intrigued me,” Ricky
continues. “We found out more about it and felt it was
something we wanted to get behind.” Right after the building opened, they decided to sponsor and name a student
workstation on the building’s 4th floor.
The Bloomfield family, Ricky and Kim, with daughters
Catherine and Miriam.
Ricky explains their motivation: “we both went through
the Park Scholars program, feel very fortunate in what
we were given, and feel an obligation to give back to an
institution that has given us so much. We want to see
NC State continue to succeed, and the Hunt Library will
serve as a rallying point for showcasing talent and innovation. For recruiting, there’s nothing better than taking
prospective students to Hunt to show them what NC State
can do and hint at the things that they themselves will do
once they are here in proximity to all this innovation and
technology. Giving back to something that will only make
NC State stronger is a no-brainer.”
Their message to young graduates is especially clear.
Laughing that they are probably “skewing the age profile
of NC State donors down a little,” Kim explains that “we
subscribe to the idea that what you spend your money
on shows what you believe in. When we began giving to
NC State, it wasn’t large amounts—Ricky was still in med
school. Recent graduates are sometimes intimidated by
hearing about endowed faculty positions or big gifts. But
smaller donations made regularly can make a big difference, and they’re more feasible for younger alumni. Our
own gifts are not huge, and they did stretch our budget to
begin with. But we realized that we can make a huge difference even if we can’t yet endow a chair or name a wing
in the library. If recent graduates start from a younger age,
this can really make a difference for decades before they
enter their golden years.”
As for their investment in the Hunt Library, both have
been back many times since the space opened and both
are happy, according to Ricky, that it is “living up to its
promise as a space where you can let your creativity flow
and combine the technologies in ways that are novel and
interesting.”
Like their own lives, “things are just getting started. The
best is most certainly yet to come.”
