Spending the Day with Dard Hunter – American Arts & Crafts Designer, Paper Historian
and Private Press Printer
Dard Hunter (1883?-1966) was a multifaceted Ohio man born into a dynamic newspaper family.
The young Dard spent his formative years as a Roycroft craftsman and designer, working in a
variety of media including graphic arts, metal, wood and stained glass. While he could have had
a successful and long career in that field, he instead chose to pursue the ancient hand book crafts
of type cutting, papermaking, and printing while writing about his favorite topic: paper. The
day-long program will feature a slide-illustrated talk about Hunter’s life and work conducted by
his principal biographer, as well as a chance to look more closely at Hunter’s books in the
Marriott Library collection.
Speaker: Cathleen A. Baker

Sneak Attack: Getting Information onto Faculty Agendas
Successful information literacy programs need buy-in and collaboration from teaching faculty.
Use faculty's pre-existing priorities to get information literacy skills development for students
onto faculty agendas. Faculty report concerns about plagiarism and their students' inability to
select quality information resources. Take advantage of these concerns to pitch information
literacy programming as a solution rather than as another add-on to their loads. Use the preexisting faculty task of assignment design as a vehicle to reinforce the ease with which
information literacy skills development can be incorporated as a solution rather than as a burden.

librarians in understanding faculty and the services they need, incorporating this information into
