BUILDING KNOWLEDGE
FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES, we in 
libraries have been implementing major changes 
in our programs, collections, and spaces. We 
have moved from card catalogs to mainframe 
terminals, from CD towers to high-performance 
computing, and from bibliographic instruction to 
teaching for-credit courses. This history of transformative change illustrates our ability to adapt to users’ 
demands in a constantly developing technological environment, and I believe it serves as a predictor of 
the library’s future success. As long as the right strategies and support are in place, I am confident that 
the University of Oregon Libraries can look forward to a continuing record of remarkable 
accomplishments well into the twenty-first century.
Showcased in this issue of Building Knowledge is the Digital Scholarship Center (DSC), which serves 
as an exemplar of the library’s ability to implement strategic, innovative programs. By collaborating with 
the DSC, students and faculty can leverage the library’s extensive collections and expertise in new ways 
while they engage with emergent technologies to create vibrant forms of digital scholarship and 
learning. The production of new online collections such as the Tribal Legacies, the promotion of new 
publishing models through the library’s open-access repository Scholars’ Bank, and the creation of new 
knowledge through the library’s rare and unique collections are only a few of the ways in which the 
library has enhanced the significant and meaningful impact it has on people’s lives.
A change in leadership must occur on occasion at a great research library, and with the retirement of 
former dean Deborah Carver, the library at the University of Oregon is no exception. I feel honored to 
have been entrusted with the leadership of the library at this pivotal time, and wish to express my 
sincere appreciation to Deb for her leadership and commitment over the past twelve years. 
The outstanding research library continually adjusts to new realities, to changes in pedagogy and 
research practices, in its ongoing quest to foster academic success. I look forward to working with all  
of you to ensure that the University of Oregon Libraries continues its successful trajectory, now and  
into the future. Thank you for your generous support, and I hope you enjoy learning more about us in 
the pages that follow.

THAT PROVOCATIVE BUZZ  you’re hearing 
on Knight Library’s first floor might just be emanating 
from one of the library’s newest departments, the 
Digital Scholarship Center (DSC), where students  
and faculty are engaged in research with emergent 
technologies that leverage the library’s unique and 
local collections in new and intriguing ways. In 
collaboration with the DSC, scholars are able to ask 
new questions, pushing research in directions that 
their predecessors simply weren’t able to. 
Typically, scholars who need to use primary source 
materials in research or teaching have to expend 
significant effort to obtain access. After discovering 
the existence of source documents, they must to 
identify their locations and make arrangements for 
physical access to them, perhaps traveling thousands 
of miles to view them. Poring over the materials, 
taking notes, and requesting reproductions must be 
done in accordance with institutional policies and 
limited hours.

University Libraries. 
Thanks to services and programs like those offered  
by the DSC, faculty and students now have 
immediate access to a vast number of research  
and teaching resources.
The DSC also increases the value of these newly 
accessible resources by facilitating the creation  
and use of cutting-edge instructional tools in  
the classroom, providing students with new  
perspectives on traditional objects of study.
The DSC, housed in Knight Library, was created to 
energize and transform scholarship through the use  
of new media and digital technologies. DSC priorities 
and services are user-driven; collaborations with 
faculty and students define the investments in 
technologies and staff priorities, shaping the mission. 
Here’s a tour of some of the services and resources 
that have resulted.

The UO Libraries’ Digital 
Scholarship Center provided 
crucial support to the efforts of 
the Confederated Tribes of Warm 
Springs to manage its collection 
of historical sound recordings in 
support of language revitalization 
and cultural programming. The 
DSC brought expertise in audio 
preservation and a culturally 
responsive manner to our 
collaboration and helped make 
our cultural heritage project a 
resounding success.

Digital Library Services
DSC core services include providing access to and 
preservation of collections of digital objects. The UO 
Libraries has a long history of developing digital 
collections; over the last seven years, the library’s 
holdings of digital objects have increased from 30,000 
to 230,000, in addition to more than 500,000 digitized 
newspaper pages. Most of the library’s unique digital 
collections are freely available at http://oregondigital.
DSC staff members also support and train staff from 
cultural organizations in creating digital collections 
and programs. For example, DSC librarian Nathan 
Georgitis worked on a project with the Confederated 
Tribes of Warm Springs and the Oregon Folklife 
Network, providing consultation on audio preservation 
through digitization. The project earned an Oregon 
Heritage Excellence Award in 2014.
Digital Projects: Scholarship and Instruction
The DSC provides consulting and support for  
faculty and students who want to engage with digital 
tools in their research. Projects often become deep 
collaborations, and the published results can be  
used both in the classroom and by scholars outside 
the UO.
SHOWCASE DIGITAL COLLECTION
Tribal Legacies   
http://oregondigital.org/digcol/ 
tlegacies/
The Tribal Legacies digital collection 
provides access to materials in the 
University of Oregon Libraries pertaining 
to Native American ethnography and 
history. The collection acts as an 
enhanced catalog, bringing together 
information from documents, maps, 
photographs, and manuscript collections 
at the UO Libraries. Focusing on the 
Pacific Northwest, the collection 
features archival materials that either 
reference indigenous people or are  
completely dedicated to their coverage. 
Tribal Legacies highlights materials  
from nineteenth-century Alaska Native 
ethnography to Klamath Restoration and 
is a dynamic and growing archive for 
academic research and Native American 
documentation.
SHOWCASE PROJECT
Oregon Petrarch Open Book (OPOB) Project   
http://petrarch.uoregon.edu/
Massimo Lollini, professor of Italian in the Department of Romance Languages at the UO, directs the 
OPOB project, which allows scholars and students to study one of the most important works in Western 
literature, Petrarch’s Rerum vulgarium fragmenta (Il Canzoniere), in its many different manifestations. 
The resource provides digitized copies of the manuscript and earliest printed versions of the Canzoniere, 
as well as complete English, Spanish, and French translations and partial translations in Russian,  
Chinese, Japanese, and German. Karen Estlund, head of the DSC, and John Russell, scholarly  
communications librarian, worked on the project, including arranging for the hosting of images and  
developing the technical infrastructure for encoding and viewing the poems. The DSC serves as 
OPOB’s publisher; access to and use of OPOB is free to everyone.
A page from a 1470 printed version  of Petrarch’s Canzoniere (Inc. Queriniano G V 15) alongside a manuscript page   
(Cod. Queriniano D II 21), both from the Queriniana Library in Brescia. These items, along with many versions and editions 
of Petrarch’s work, including a 1904 edition in the UO Libraries’ holdings, are freely available after registering via the  
OPOB website.
Education and 
Experimentation 
The DSC has been particularly active in reaching  
out to graduate students, working with them as 
affiliates and collaborating on a very popular data 
management course.
Several students who recently completed DSC’s 
inaugural course, Issues in Digital Scholarship,  
asked for further instruction on text encoding.  
These students—from Comparative Literature and 
English—were able to build on what they learned  
to produce a scholarly edition of a Virginia Woolf 
short story that was recently published in the journal 
Scholarly Editing.
Many faculty and staff are hungry for a chance to play 
and experiment with new tools and technology. DSC 
responds to this need by offering a sandbox mini-lab 
with multiple computers running three different 
operating systems and various open source tools.
Emily McGinn, who recently earned her PhD in the 
Department of Comparative Literature and now has a 
digital humanities fellowship at Lafayette University 
in Pennsylvania, says the DSC has been instrumental 
in broadening her vision of what digital scholarship 
means: “The DSC has added an entirely new 
dimension to my scholarship and my pedagogy. The 
advice and support of the entire DSC community has 
helped me gain access to the world of digital 
humanities.”
The DSC is an invaluable resource for graduate students in the New Media and 
Culture Certificate program. Its dedicated sponsorship and mentorship of student 
digital scholarship projects is unparalleled across campus. DSC’s indefatigable staff 
is always available to improve opportunities for graduate students.

SHOWCASE PROJECT
Graduate Affiliates Program
DSC launched a Graduate Affiliates Program in spring 2014 that allows a select group of students from 
different disciplines to grapple with their digital projects in a supportive, collaborative environment  
while also sharing their individual areas of expertise with each other and DSC staff.
Future Directions
The DSC aspires to be agile in its support of 
students and faculty as their needs change in  
relation to advances in instructional and research 
technologies. Over the next couple of years, the DSC 
plans to expand its curriculum program to offer more 
credit courses to UO students who are exploring the 
use of digital tools and methodologies in their classes 
and in the real-world jobs awaiting them. As more 
faculty members venture into research with digital 
tools, DSC staff is eager to collaborate and provide the 
support needed.
As Karen Estlund, head of DSC, explains, “The 
research library continues to be the center of activity 
on campus, and the DSC delivers the research tools 
and skills needed today into the hands of students 
and faculty at the UO.”    
Open Access Publishing 
The Internet allows for a broader conception of 
publication that goes beyond traditional printed 
books and journals. The DSC works with faculty and 
students to make their scholarship widely available 
through Scholars’ Bank, the digital home for the 
intellectual output of the university, allowing anyone 
with an Internet connection to read a recent 
dissertation, an article written by one of the UO’s 
prominent faculty members, or papers by the winners 
of the library’s Undergraduate Research Awards. 
The DSC also collaborates on publication projects 
such as We Are the Face of Oaxaca (faceofoaxaca.
uoregon.edu), a website that features video 
testimonies of Oaxacans interviewed by Lynn 
Stephen, distinguished professor of anthropology at 
the UO. The website complements Stephen’s recent 
book of the same name about social movements in 
Oaxaca, Mexico, published by Duke University Press, 
and is integrated into the e-book version.
The DSC also supports four open access journals 
freely available online to users throughout the world: 
Konturen (journals.oregondigital.org/konturen), 
Humanist Studies in the Digital Age (journals.
oregondigital.org/hsda), Oregon Undergraduate 
Research Journal (journals.oregondigital.org/ourj), 
Ada: A Journal of New Media and Gender 
(adanewmedia.org/issues).
SHOWCASE PROJECT
From Silence to Memory:  
Revelations of the AHPN
In a project initiated by the UO’s Network Startup Resource Center 
(NSRC) (see pages 12-13), and collaboratively developed with UO  
faculty members from history, journalism, and the law school, DSC 
helped produce From Silence to Memory: Revelations of the AHPN,  
an English translation of documents from the archives of the National 
Police in Guatemala that bear witness to state repression and human 
rights violations during the 1980s. The book, freely available in an open  
access edition through Scholars’ Bank, received a lead review in the  
New York Review of Books. Print copies, funded by Phil and Jill Lighty, 
have been distributed to the AHPN in Guatemala and to libraries and 
scholars around the world. In October 2013, the DSC, NSRC, and 
Oregon Humanities Center teamed up with UO faculty members and the dean of UO Libraries to organize 
and host a symposium entitled “Archives and Human Rights in Guatemala and Beyond” (tinyurl.com/ 
silencetomemory). As part of the symposium, Trudy Peterson, former acting archivist of the United States, 
delivered the annual Philip H. Knight Dean of Libraries Distinguished Speaker lecture, “The Role of  
Archives in Strengthening Democracy and Promoting Human Rights” (tinyurl.com/roleofarchives).

print version of the book.
The Digital Scholarship Center provided critical technical expertise for both the print and 
online editions of From Silence to Memory: Revelations of the AHPN. For help 
in telling the story of the Guatemalan National Police Archive and creating a critical tool for 
researchers and human rights advocates around the world, we truly appreciate the DSC’s 
dedication and professionalism.

COLLEGE IS  STRESSFUL .   With countless 
classes, homework assignments, extracurricular activities, 
and obligations, students feel an overwhelming sense of 
pressure. This feeling comes to a head during finals week. 
Last term, I was enrolled in 22 credits, worked 20 hours a 
week, and participated in several extracurricular activities. 
On top of the time spent on campus, I had a home to take 
care of. Laundry became a task I no longer had time for. 
Cooking took too much time. I began to sacrifice sleep for 
just one more hour of reading, then two hours, then three. 
In the midst of all this preparation for several exams and 
projects, I was offered an opportunity to just relax. The 
University of Oregon Libraries and the Health Center 
partnered to create an event called UO Stress Less.  
The event offered meditation sessions, yoga classes,  
and general stress-fighting techniques. Hosted within 
Knight Library, it turned an environment in which I had  
just pulled an all-nighter into a stress-free zone. 
I do not consider myself someone with a long attention 
span, so meditation seemed out of the question. But in the 
spirit of spontaneity, I decided to attend that session. I 
came in, sat down, and cleared my mind for a period of time 
I can’t even remember. Time was irrelevant. It drifted away 
from me for the first time in months. Every to-do list, every 
incomplete task and assignment, was forgotten. The noise 
in my head was silenced for a brief, but relaxing, time. I felt 
completely rejuvenated. 
After the session was over, I quietly left the library and 
returned home to find everything a little less daunting. My 
overwhelming stack of laundry wasn’t smaller. My notebooks 
brimming with study guides and rubrics weren’t emptier. 
But what had changed was my ability to deal with it all. 
I have always cherished libraries. They are a consistently 
quiet space to aid my study process. The myriad volumes of 
information and space to absorb it all have always been 
there in the moments I feel most overwhelmed. But that night, 
the library became a stress-free zone. It became a place to 
breathe out, breathe in, clear my mind, and be calm.    
UO student Michaela Giunchigliani works in the library’s Marketing and Communications Department. Her work assignments 
include contributing to the library’s social media outreach efforts, preparing video profiles of library staff and student 
assistants, and writing about her experiences as a UO student and library employee. Below, she recounts the benefits of 
attending Stress Less, a drop-in event designed to help students reduce their anxiety during dead week and finals week.

PASSING THE STRESS TEST
Who’s a Good Dog?
Ngoc-Yen Tran, outreach and student engagement 
librarian who manages the Global Scholars Hall 
Library Commons, has recently collaborated with  
a local therapy-dogs group called F.E.T.C.H. to 
schedule much-loved and well-attended Pet A Dog! 
events before the end of each term. After the stress-
reducing “therapy sessions,” students reported being 
more relaxed, happier, and less anxious about their 
finals. The dogs wagged their tails in agreement!

HERE’S A  little-known fact: The first sex 
education film shown nationwide to junior high 
school kids was made in Oregon. My disovery of  
this fact began with a squirrel. Rather, my discovery 
started while watching an old silent movie about a 
squirrel. The short documentary from the library’s 
collections shows a squirrel working through a series 
of increasingly difficult tasks with lab apparatus as it 
tries to retrieve peanuts. It’s hard not to cheer as the 
squirrel prevails again and again, even as the tasks 
become hilariously challenging. The library’s catalog 
said only that it was made in 1942 by someone 
named Lester F. Beck.
Who was this guy and why did he make this film? 
Who was its intended audience? Why was the sole 
existing copy in the UO Libraries’ collections?  
I couldn’t let it go, especially when I discovered 
Beck’s name on several sex education films from  
the 1950s, plus a number of hypnosis films from as 
early as 1938, all of which were also in the library’s 
collections.
It turns out that Lester F. Beck was a psychology 
professor at the University of Oregon from 1934 to 
1950, and he was keenly interested in audiovisual 
education. He purchased the university’s first film 
projector in 1936 and was instrumental in 
establishing the Audio-Visual Department in  
the library in 1946. Beck made the squirrel film, 
Adaptive Behavior in Golden-mantled Ground 
Squirrels, to teach psychology principles in his own 
classes. He also just really liked filming little animals 
and birds, something he did throughout his life. He 
built a Plexiglas maze into the ceiling of his house  
so that rodents could enter through a window and  
he could watch them run around. 
Beck was also well-known on campus for 
hypnotizing his students and filming the process,  
and for his popular lectures on “marital happiness,” 
in which he promoted frank discussions of human 
sexuality and an egalitarian approach to marriage. 
I found Beck’s name on the credits of several sex 
education films—Human Growth (1947), Human 
Beginnings (1950), Fertilization and Birth (1950), 
Human Heredity (1956), Early Marriage (1961)— 
all of which were sponsored by the same 
organization, the E.C. Brown Trust. 
More digging revealed an even more intriguing part 
of the story. In 1939 a Portland doctor bequeathed 
$500,000 to the University of Oregon to be used in 
promoting “social hygiene” among the youth of 
Oregon. Although Dr. Ellis C. Brown provided no 
concrete guidelines for how the trustees should 
accomplish this goal, he stipulated in his will that the 
trust’s activities should focus on a holistic approach 
to sex education, emphasizing that “sex cannot be 
viewed apart from all other aspects of human life and 
human relationships.” The trustees decided to make 
a film, one that could be shown in Oregon public 
schools. They enlisted the help of Lester Beck to 
write the script and lead the production. By the  
end of the 1940s, Beck had produced a number of 
well-regarded instructional films and had become  
a nationally recognized expert in educational film,  
so he was an ideal person to head the project.
Human Growth became one of the most widely 
shown sex education films in the United States. At its 
peak of popularity in the 1950s, there were more than 
1,000 prints in circulation. Life magazine gave it a 
glowing five-page feature story in 1948, and there 
were favorable reviews in Time, Better Homes & 
Gardens, and other mainstream magazines. The film 
won almost every national and international award 
for documentary film, including the Golden Eagle 
Award from the Committee on International Non-
theatrical Events (CINE). Thousands of schools 
throughout the United States and in twenty countries 
worldwide adopted the film, with widespread 
approval from parents and teachers.
Although many sex ed films from the 1950s are 
campy and sensational, Human Growth approaches 
the subject in a calm, facts-based manner. It models 
how to openly discuss puberty and human reproduction 
within a family and in a classroom. In the film, boys 
and girls are not segregated, and there is no 
moralizing. No one is giggly or embarrassed. 
Human Growth went through five subsequent 
editions to keep pace with current teenagers, most 
recently in 1998. The first edition from 1947, 
however, is exceptionally rare, with only a handful  
of surviving prints. The E.C. Brown Trust, while still 
in existence as a nonprofit foundation, no longer has 
any of the many films it sponsored. So imagine my 
excitement when I discovered the original master 
elements of Human Growth in our off-site storage 
facility, mislabeled in a box of athletics films. The 
E.C. Brown Trust generously funded the cost of a  
new internegative and digital transfer of the film, 
which is now available online through the library’s 
website. You can view Human Growth online on the 
UO Channel: tinyurl.com/ovetdsw.

International Connections: 
THE NETWORK STARTUP RESOURCE CENTER
ONE THE MOST  successful technology-driven 
programs based at the University of Oregon is the Network 
Startup Resource Center (NSRC), a nonprofit group with 
close collaborative and administrative ties to the UO 
Libraries. The NSRC has worked since the late 1980s  
to help develop and deploy networking technology for 
numerous Internet access projects throughout the Asia/
Pacific area, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean,  
and the Middle East. The center works directly with the 
indigenous network engineers and operators who develop 
and maintain the Internet infrastructure in their respective 
countries and regions. The NSRC provides technical 
information, engineering assistance, training, donations  
of networking books, equipment, and other resources.
“Access to the Internet promotes economic growth, 
improvements to education, the dissemination of 
knowledge, and overall human development,” says Steven 
Huter, NSRC’s director. “NSRC provides network design 
and capacity development assistance to countries that are 
less advantaged in terms of money, bandwidth, technical 
resources, and basic infrastructure so that they are able to 
participate in and contribute to the global Internet. To build 
sustainable networks, it’s essential to work with local hands, 
cultivating local expertise.”
By strategically working for more than 20 years in more 
than 100 countries with universities, research institutes, 
Internet Service Providers, Regional Internet Registries, 
government agencies, industry, private foundations, and 
nongovernmental organizations, the NSRC helps develop 
national and regional networks for collaborative research 
and education partnerships. NSRC is partially funded by 
the US National Science Foundation, Google, and Cisco 
Systems, with additional contributions from dozens of 
public and private organizations.
HOW THE L IBRARY HELPS
Two projects illustrate the collaborative nature of much  
of the center’s work. As an extension of its Internet 
development activities in Guatemala, the NSRC was 
engaged to work with the Guatemalan National Police 
Historical Archive (AHPN) to support a project using digital, 
print, and video technologies to document human rights

violations by the country’s National Police before and  
during the civil conflict occurring there in the 1980s. 
Drawing on expertise and resources from the library’s 
Digital Scholarship Center and the UO’s Department of 
History, School of Journalism and Communication, and 
School of Law, NSRC’s efforts to preserve the history and 
stories of individuals whose lives were changed by human 
rights violations in Guatemala has garnered international 
recognition and praise (see Showcase Project, p. 6).
A second NSRC project provided workshop training that  
is helping Senegalese National Archive staff and university 
librarians build a digital collection to share colonial era 
documents and little-known West African slave trade 
documents dating to the 1700s. NSRC and the UO 
Libraries hosted a visit to Eugene by Senegal’s project 
team members for initial training in summer 2012. In March 
2013, NSRC and library staff members traveled to Dakar  
to conduct additional digitization training and preservation 
workshops at Senegal’s National Archives.
“Collaboration and integrative activities with faculty and 
students in numerous departments across campus, 
including the UO Libraries, enrich the impact of NSRC’s 
work,” Huter says. “This is an opportune time to leverage 
new investments in the global Internet, thereby improving 
infrastructure and delivering relevant platforms and services, 
which is good for the whole Internet ecosystem.”  
Awards and Rewards
The excellence of the work done by NSRC and its  
staff has not gone unnoticed on the national and

“The UO Libraries Special Collections provided vital resources needed to 
complete my research paper. Another valuable source of information came 
from scouring microfilm collections. The McKay Papers Microfilm collection 
provided supporting details in my paper. Before working on this project, I 
had never utilized microfilm, conducted research in Special Collections, or 
used discussion and interviews in a paper. Oral histories provided a valuable 
source in my research. This paper would have been impossible without the 
information I collected from the UO Libraries, especially within Special 
Collections and University Archives and the Document Center.”

“The helpful staff at the library has played a huge part in my advancement in 
navigating both the online system and the resources within the library itself. 
Without the dedicated library staff, I am confident I would still be lost on the 
Internet searching aimlessly for articles while trying to figure out how to 
afford the cost of gaining access to them. As a result of using the library,  
I was able to write a research project that has been accepted for 
presentation at a conference and will form the basis of my graduate school 
writing sample.”

“I discovered the immense reach of the library by requesting books through 
Summit and ILLiad, the library’s interlibrary loan systems, when the books 
were not physically present in our campus libraries. I also made extensive 
use of the academic journal databases to which the university subscribes. 
The entire process of targeted reading, writing a succinct case analysis,  
and compiling sources can hopefully lay the groundwork for other related 
research, and it has drastically improved the way I now read, research,  
and edit, skills which have been vital in my current study of the law.”

FROM THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
Dear library friends and supporters,
As of June 1, gifts, pledges, and bequests benefiting the University of Oregon Libraries 
this past year total $2,718,181.
Thanks to all of you who continue to support the UO Libraries, and we especially 
welcome those of you who have made your first gift. Each and every gift, no matter the 
amount, is important to us. We value your commitment to helping us serve our students and faculty.
As many of you have heard, we are in the “silent” phase of a comprensive university fundraising campaign. We are all 
anticipating the announcement of when we will “go live.” Before Deborah Carver retired, she and I worked with our 
administrative team to develop the library’s campaign priorities. This will be my first campaign at the UO, and I’m excited to 
start meeting with you to discuss our vision for the future. We will need your help to make this vision a reality. 
One of my major goals going into this campaign is to find new library lovers. Do you have friends who are passionate about 
the library? Do you keep in touch with classmates who used the library while they were in school and benefited from our 
services? Did someone in your sorority or fraternity work in the library as a student employee? I need to meet them all! 
With your help, I can create a larger network of alumni and friends who support our efforts to provide UO students and 
faculty with the resources they need to achieve their academic goals. 
In closing, here’s your opportunity to pay tribute to 
Deborah Carver, now retired as Philip H. Knight Dean of 
Libraries, for her many years of excellent leadership and 
vision. We are seeking to raise $250,000 to name a 
classroom in the new Allan Price Research Commons 
and Science Library, due to open in spring 2016, in 
Deb’s honor. We have already raised $178,000 for this 
purpose, so please consider a gift to help us establish a 
classroom in her name. Contact me directly if you’d like 
to learn more about this initiative.
All the best,
Keri Aronson
Director of Development, UO Libraries

Twice a year, the UO Libraries Advancement Council 
meets to discuss strategies for raising funds and 
increasing outreach to library supporters. Many thanks 
to our current council members for their commitment  
to promoting and supporting the UO Libraries, and to 
outgoing council members David Moore and Tres Pyle 
for their service.

Susie Scroggins
It is with great sadness that we note the death of Susie Scroggins, a UO graduate, devoted 
library employee, and loyal fan of the UO Libraries. Susie graduated from the UO in 1992 with 
a BA in humanities. She worked as an office specialist in the Library Administration Office in 
Knight Library from 2000 to 2003, assisting with a variety of library development duties. 
Beginning in 2006, she worked as an administrative assistant for the Orbis Cascade Alliance, 
the consortium of 37 regional academic libraries, followed by a five-year stint in the UO 
psychology department before returning to the UO Libraries in 2012 as development 
accounting assistant.
Susie’s abiding enthusiasm for the UO Libraries was reflected in her readiness to help 
wherever she could. She was part of a group of library staff members charged with finding 
ways to recognize outstanding student employees, she was an active member of one of the 
library’s first marketing teams, and she played a central role in organizing and facilitating many 
library events, including Knight Library’s 75th-anniversary celebration and luncheons honoring 
Undergraduate Research Award winners.
With her infectious smile and fun-loving personality, her circle of friends was very wide. She will be long remembered both  
on campus and in the community, and her generous spirit will live on as part of the UO Libraries.
DEBORAH CARVER, Philip H. Knight Dean of Libraries, retired April 30, 2014, after twelve years 
as dean and twenty-three years at the University of Oregon Libraries. Her catalog of accomplishments 
is a long one; she leaves a legacy of success in every area of her many responsibilities as dean of 
libraries. UO students and faculty, library staff, and library supporters will miss her leadership qualities, 
but we wish her all the best in her retirement.
