NCC: Edward Meachen papers
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of Edward Meachen’s files from his time as Director of the Library. The files include materials concerning administration of the library with topics ranging from on-line catalogs, book purchasing, and bibliographic instruction, to gifts, grants, and awards. Also included are files on campus-wide, as well as external committees and projects in which Meachen participated. These included the Campus Computerization Committee and the LIBRAS Cooperative Collection Management Committee.
Materials are included which both pre- and post-date his tenure, as the projects were continuous or prior information was needed. Therefore, materials authored and received by Harriet Arklie (Meachen’s predecessor) and by Sally Chipman (the interim Director of the Library following Meachen’s departure) are included.
