Umass Amherst Friends Of The Library Newsletter - Spring/Summer 2006 (No. 31), Jay Schafer

Library News for the Friends of the UMass Amherst Libraries

Message from Jay:

When I saw the cover of this newsletter in draft, my initial reaction was that champagne is not an image traditionally associated with research libraries. Where are the books? Where are the computers? Where are the smiling faces of our generous Friends? Then I rattled my chains of “Librarian Past” and realized that as “Librarian Future” champagne is the perfect symbol to celebrate the recent successes of the UMass Amherst Libraries. And success is the word that captures the events of the past several months. In a very short time, the Learning Commons has transformed the image, …

Umass Amherst Friends Of The Library Newsletter - Fall/Winter 2006 (No. 32), Jay Schafer

Library News for the Friends of the UMass Amherst Libraries

Message from Jay:

Honoring the generosity of library donors has traditionally been a function of the Friends of the UMass Amherst Libraries newsletter. Last year this listing of some 5,000 donors required twenty pages with five columns of small print.

Most donors enjoy seeing their names in print and we love to provide a documented list of our Friends, both …
