On Good Authority: Naco Participation At The University Of Southern Mississippi, Kathleen L. Wells
The Southeastern Librarian
The prospect of contributing to an authority file used by libraries throughout the United States and beyond may be somewhat daunting in itself. However, participation in the Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO) may be within your library’s reach. Since joining the program in November 2001, catalogers at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) Libraries have found that many rewards and few drawbacks come with NACO membership.

The Local Nature Of Digital Reference, Teresa U. Berry, Margaret M. Casado, Lana Dixon
The Southeastern Librarian
In response to the extensive availability of digital library resources and the rising number of remote users, many libraries now offer digital reference services through e-mail and chat. The growing use of interactive chat software with its real time interactive capability has prompted librarians to consider collaborative ways in which to offer this service. A concern expressed frequently in informal discussions of such collaborations is how difficult it would be for the staff at one library to answer questions for another, considering that many questions tend to be “local”. Intrigued by the perception of “local,” librarians at the University of …

Meeting The Challenge: Training An Aging Population To Use Computers, Carol Bean
The Southeastern Librarian
Older adults present a special challenge to libraries offering computer training. Many of those seeking training have little, if any, prior experience with the concepts and skills necessary to use computers, yet their ability to learn those concepts and skills is hampered by the aging process. This article summarizes the factors in aging which most affect learning computer skills, and how those factors can be mitigated.

Distance Learners: Not Necessarily Distant, Rachel Viggiano
The Southeastern Librarian
The following paper was presented at the 2002 SELA/South Carolina Library Association Joint Conference in Charleston, South Carolina, as part of the “New Voices” program, sponsored by the University and College Libraries Section (UCLS) of SELA. The Southeastern Librarian is pleased to reprint the paper in its entirety.
The purpose of this paper is to examine many of the issues involved in providing library services to distance learners, and to discuss the growing overlap of services for traditional on-campus students and distance learners. Is the distinction between the two groups enough to merit a separation of services, or should libraries …

Robert L. Meriwether And The South Caroliniana Library, Nicholas Meriwether
Robert L. Meriwether And The South Caroliniana Library, Nicholas Meriwether
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Though praised as an outstanding scholar, Robert L. Meriwether was perhaps most proud of his work in helping other scholars as a teacher, editor, archivist, and librarian, with the founding of the South Caroliniana Library as the pinnacle of those efforts. Born in Edgefield County, South Carolina, in 1890, his love of history and affection for his native state seem inextricably intertwined from a young age. This might be expected from someone raised in the wake of Reconstruction in a state that had endured so much loss and upheaval in the Civil War and its aftermath. Indeed, in many ways, …

Thomas Owen And The Founding Of The Alabama Department Of Archives And History, Alden Monroe
Thomas Owen And The Founding Of The Alabama Department Of Archives And History, Alden Monroe
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
In 1901 Alabama established the first independent government archives in the United States. The founding of the Alabama Department of Archives and History (ADAH) preceded that of the National Archives by more than thirty years. Other states had sponsored history programs, assigning the responsibility for public records to state libraries, secretaries of state, or state historical societies, but Alabama was the first to create an official state agency. This concept of government-supported, but independent, archives would become a model for others in the United States.

The Lord's Remembrancer: Lynn E. May Jr., Bill Summers
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
Lynn Edward May Jr. never identified himself as an archivist, although he accomplished many archival-type functions.

Marie Bankhead Owen And The Alabama Department Of Archives And History, 1920-1955, Robert J. Jakeman
Marie Bankhead Owen And The Alabama Department Of Archives And History, 1920-1955, Robert J. Jakeman
Provenance, Journal of the Society of Georgia Archivists
March 1920 was a traumatic month for Marie Bankhead Owen. It began with the death of her influential father, Senator John Hollis Bankhead, and it ended with the sudden death of her fifty-three-year-old husband, Thomas McAdory Owen, founding director of the Alabama Department of Archives and History (ADAH). Then on April 1 she accepted an appointment as the second director of ADAH, a position she held for over three decades. Thus, in the space of one month, Marie Bankhead Owen lost her father and her husband and began a thirty-five year career as director of the Alabama archives.
