Interview with SALALM Scholarship Awardee: Lara Aase

When and where did you attend the annual SALALM conference?

Lara Aase with Xelena Gonzalez

The scholarship (thanks, SALALM!) covered my Charlottesville conference attendance in 2016, and my second conference was last year in Ann Arbor.

What was the most interesting or unexpected thing that you learned at the conference?

At Charlottesville, I was thrilled to meet a group of like-minded colleagues who were both professionally driven and simpaticxs (not an easy combination to find in academic circles!). At Ann Arbor, even people I hadn’t met before seemed like family.

How did you find out about the SALALM Scholarship?

At the beginning of my MLIS, I hunted down a professor with a great reputation as a mentor for prospective academic librarians and asked if she’d take me on. Her very first piece of advice was to join SALALM. Eventually I gathered my courage and the (minimal, student-rate) membership fee and joined, applying for the scholarship shortly after that.

Where did you earn your MLS/MLIS and what was your area of specialization?

I graduated from the iSchool at the University of Washington in 2016. The program didn’t have separate specialization tracks, but I knew early on that I wanted to focus on rare books and special collections. UW is strong in theory, research, and technology training, so I was lucky to be able to enhance my old-school rare book knowledge with new ideas about web access, user experience, and digital humanities.

What drew you to the field of librarianship/archival studies?

When I was in high school, I took a career inventory test that told me to be a librarian, but I didn’t listen until I’d been through two graduate programs in other fields and years of work as a freelance musician.

Despite having seven separate student jobs in university libraries, all along I thought I wanted to be a professor, because that’s what you do with a PhD. I started my doctoral program in Spanish Literature to work with paleography and old books, but somehow it didn’t occur to me until I was ABD that I was still hanging out in school because I liked libraries.

It took me another decade of library associate and technician jobs before I was ready to bite the bullet and get the MLIS. And then I discovered that I love finding information, organizing it, and getting it into the hands of people who need it. I used to think librarianship would be just a practical career choice, but now I’m continuously rediscovering that it’s a fascinating discipline.

How did you become interested in Latin America/Iberia?

My first non-English languages were French in high school and Italian in undergrad, and when I needed to add another language for my MA in Comp Lit I learned Spanish. One of my first courses was in medieval Spanish literature, which got me interested in paleography, which led to a job at the Spanish Colonial Research Center at UNM and later at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library in Toronto. Between graduate programs I lived in Costa Rica for a year. But I didn’t get past my “high affective filter” until I worked at a public library in Illinois doing Spanish-language programming.

Have you worked with a Latin American/Iberian archival or library collection? In what capacity?

My job at the Spanish Colonial Research Center involved indexing personal names, place names, and other subjects from 16th- and 17th-century New Mexican documents. At the University of Toronto I did Romance-language cataloging, mostly with Spanish materials, and at the Fisher Rare Book Library I dealt with acquisitions and descriptions of early published books in Portuguese as well as Spanish “hojas sueltas.” In Illinois I was the selector for Spanish and Latin American publications.

What is your current position?

I’m the solo librarian at the Center of Southwest Studies special collections library at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado.

Was SALALM helpful in the development of your career? In what way?

Yes, both theoretically and practically. SALALM gave me something my MLIS program couldn’t: connection to academic librarians and library workers who speak a language other than English, who are concerned with library users not best served by mainstream collections, who have a vision beyond the U.S. SALALM is also an excellent network for hearing about job possibilities.

Second Presidential Message – SALALM 63

I hope the New Year finds everyone reinvigorated and ready to submit proposals for our 63rd annual meeting, hosted by Biblioteca Daniel Cosío Villegas at El Colegio de México in Mexico City, July 1-4, 2018. Please consult http://salalm2018.colmex.mx/ and instructions below.

This excellent SALALM 63 postcard reflects the design genius of Victor Cid Carmona and Valentin Ortiz Reyes, two members of our COLMEX Local Arrangements Team. Thank you both for depicting the Plaza de Tres Culturas (a site), with visible but eclipsed architectural manifestations (sites) of historical conflicts with visual/textual prompts (cites on sites) to specific contests or clashes, including the Olympic Games of 1968 and the Massacre of Tlatelolco. I hope these links inspire thinking around the Conference Theme S/Cites, Texts, and Voices in Critical Librarianship: Decolonizing Libraries and Archives.

My professional training leads me to introduce a selection of references (cites) in hopes of facilitating discussion around different perspectives. Theoretical grounding in “third space” also makes me look for unlikely intersections. Thanks to all who have already submitted proposals sharing your experiences and perceptions of different sites and cites. I hope the instructions below will encourage more of you to propose panels, round tables, workshops, paper presentations, rodas vivas and pop ups that discuss how our processes of selection, commodification, organization, description and assistance (reference, teaching, scouting) influence research and teaching on Latin America, Iberia and the Caribbean.

Exploration of questions including, but not limited to the following, are welcomed:

  1. How can we use contested space to explore how we influence significance, perspective, and critical reflection in our professions?
  2. How do our descriptions of resources or events reinforce or challenge meanings?
  3. How might we address the inequalities of access to electronic platforms and misperceptions about their provision of global resources?
  4. How does a s/cite’s symbolism or repeated appearance (or lack thereof) promote or hinder “impact” in our professions?
  5. What roles do standards and professional benchmarks play in collection building, cataloging, and curricular development?
  6. How does our work promote or hinder information empowerment and global information equality?
  7. How might alternative library and archival practices or tools foster equitable access?
  8. How do current funding structures affect our successes and failures?
  9. How can we foster critical reflection in our profession?

Español:

Espero que el Año Nuevo nos encuentre revigorizados y listos para presentar propuestas para nuestra 63 ª reunión anual, organizada por la biblioteca Daniel Cosío Villegas del Colegio de México en la ciudad de México, 1-4 de julio de 2018. Por favor, consulte http://salalm2018.colmex.mx/ y las instrucciones que se indican a continuación.

Esta excelente postal para SALALM 63 muestra el genio creativo de Víctor Cid Carmona y Valentín Ortiz Reyes, dos miembros del equipo local de arreglos en Biblioteca Daniel Cosío Villegas del Colegio de México. Gracias a ambos por representar la Plaza de Tres Culturas en sombra, con manifestaciones arquitectónicas visibles pero eclipsadas (sitios) por conflictos históricos con avisos visuales/textuales (cites en sitios) a enfrentamientos específicos, incluyendo los Juegos Olímpicos de 1968 y la Masacre de Tlatelolco. Espero que estos enlaces inspiren ideas en torno al tema de la Conferencia S/CITES, textos y voces en la biblioteca crítica: Descolonizando bibliotecas y archivos.

Mi formación profesional me lleva a introducir una selección de referencias (s/cites) con la esperanza de suscitar discusiones en torno a diferentes perspectivas. Un fundamento teórico en el análisis del “tercer espacio” me lleva a buscar intersecciones poco probables. Gracias a todos los que ya han presentado propuestas cuyo lugar común son las experiencias y percepciones de diferentes sitios y cites. Espero que las siguientes instrucciones animen a muchos más a proponer paneles, mesas redondas, talleres, presentaciones en papel, rodas vivas y “pop ups” para discutir cómo nuestros procesos de selección, comercialización, organización, descripción, y asistencia intervienen en la difusión y entendimiento de la información sobre Latinoamérica, la Península Ibérica y el Caribe.

Exploraciones de preguntas como las siguientes serán bienvenidas:

  1. ¿Cómo podemos usar las intersecciones y espacios en disputa para explorar cómo influimos la significación, la perspectiva y la reflexión crítica en nuestras profesiones?
  2. ¿De qué modo las descripciones y representaciones que provienen del mundo de las bibliotecas y los archivos fortalecen o amenazan su valor trascendental?
  3. ¿Cómo podríamos abordar las desigualdades de acceso a las plataformas electrónicas y las percepciones erróneas sobre suministro de recursos globales?
  4. ¿Cómo promueve u obstaculiza el “impacto” en nuestras profesiones el simbolismo de un lugar o la apariencia repetida de una referencia (o la falta de ellos)?
  5. ¿Qué papeles juegan los estándares profesionales en la construcción de colecciones, catalogación y desarrollo curricular?
  6. ¿Cómo promovemos o dificultamos el empoderamiento de la información y la igualdad global de la información en nuestro trabajo?
  7. ¿Será posible fomentar el acceso equitativo con prácticas alternativas en nuestras bibliotecas y archivos?
  8. ¿Cómo nuestra dependencia económica, en las actuales estructuras de financiamiento, afectan nuestros éxitos y fracasos?
  9. ¿Cómo podemos fomentar la reflexión crítica en nuestra profesión?

Português:

Espero que o ano novo encontre todos revigorados e prontos para apresentar propostas para 63ª conferência anual que será realizada na Cidade do México, de1-4 de julho de 2018, e sediada na Biblioteca Daniel Cosío Villegas do Colegio de México. Consulte http://salalm2018.colmex.mx/ e veja as instruções abaixo.

Este postal SALALM 63 se propõe a refletir sobre os gênios Victor Cid Carmona e Valentín Ortiz Reyes, dois membros da nossa equipe COLMEX. Estando agradecida a ambos por retratarem a Plaza de Tres Culturas (site) com manifestações arquitetônicas visíveis, mas eclipsadas (sítios) de conflitos históricos com referências visuais/textuais (cites in sites) a litígios ou confrontos específicos, incluindo os Jogos Olímpicos de 1968 e o Massacre de Tlatelolco. Espero que esses endereços eletrônicos (cites e sites) inspirem o pensamento em torno do tema da conferência, Sites / Citações, Textos e Vozes na Biblioteconomia Crítica: Descolonizando as Bibliotecas e Arquivos. 

O meu treinamento profissional leva-me a introduzir referências selecionadas (s/cites), na esperança de facilitar discussões em torno de diferentes perspectivas. Uma base teórica na análise do “terceiro espaço” também me faz sentir confortável com diferentes experiências e percepções híbridas. Obrigada a todos que já apresentaram propostas que compartilham as suas experiências e percepções sobre diferentes sites e citações. Espero que as seguintes instruções incentivem-nos muitos mais a propor painéis, mesas-redondas, workshops, apresentações, rodas vivas e pop-ups que discutem como nossos processos de seleção, mercantilização, organização, descrição e assistência estruturam a pesquisa e o ensino sobre a América Latina, a Península Ibérica e o Caribe.

Explorações de perguntas como as seguintes serão bem-vindas:

  1. Como podemos usar interseções e espaços disputados para explorar como influenciamos o significado, a perspectiva e a reflexão crítica em nossas profissões?
  2. Como nossas descrições de recursos reforçam ou desafiam significados?
  3. Como podemos abordar as desigualdades de acesso a plataformas eletrônicas e as percepções errôneas sobre a disposição dos recursos globais?
  4. Como o “impacto” em nossas profissões promove ou dificulta o simbolismo de um lugar ou a aparência repetida de uma referência (ou falta dela)?
  5. Qual é o papel dos benchmarks profissionais padronizados na compilação de acervos, na catalogação e no desenvolvimento curricular?
  6. Como promovemos ou impedimos o empoderamento da informação e a igualdade de informação global em nosso trabalho?
  7. As práticas ou ferramentas alternativas de biblioteconomia e arquivamento podem promover acesso equitativo?
  8. Como as estruturas de financiamento atuais afetam nosso êxito ou fracasso?
  9. Como podemos estimular a reflexão crítica sobre a nossa profissão?

Esperanza Bravo de Varona Chair Cuban Heritage Collection University of Miami Libraries

The University of Miami Libraries (UML) invites applications and nominations for the Esperanza Bravo de Varona Chair of the Cuban Heritage Collection (CHC). The UML is seeking a chair who will provide strategic vision, direction and administrative oversight for the CHC.  This position provides an inspirational, collaborative, and enthusiastic leader an excellent opportunity to work in an environment with a deep respect for scholarship and a vibrant vision of the academic special collections library in the 21st century.  This is a rare opportunity to steward one of the world’s great diasporic collections at an academic research library and contribute meaningfully to the preservation and study of Cuba and the Cuban diaspora.

Located in the Roberto C. Goizueta Pavilion in Richter Library in the heart of the University of Miami’s Coral Gables campus, the CHC has been built over time to become known as the preeminent international resource for researchers in Cuban studies and the Cuban experience.  The CHC is also deeply involved with the Cuban community in the Miami area and values the long-standing, meaningful relationships that have made the breadth and depth of the collection possible.  The next Chair will continue to develop the research strength of the CHC and deepen its presence in this community.  In addition, the next Chair will take a leadership role in developing and implementing a strategy for increasing the CHC’s national and international engagement.

The Esperanza Bravo de Varona Chair of the Cuban Heritage Collection will provide program direction and managerial oversight for the Collection’s operations, activities, and services. The Chair will also be responsible for the development and achievement of CHC fundraising goals, promotional activities and all relevant advancement initiatives in partnership with the Libraries Administration and the University Advancement office. The CHC staff includes two faculty (a librarian and an archivist) and four paraprofessional staff, as well as student employees, interns and volunteers.

The successful candidate will have a deep interest in and passion for the CHC collection and the knowledge required to continue building distinctive collections documenting Cuba and the Cuban diaspora. The ideal candidate will have experience with academic research libraries within special collections, possessing an understanding of the key issues confronting special and area studies collecting in a large academic research university setting. The position requires the ability to work successfully in both academic and community settings to promote the CHC, fundraise, and develop appropriate innovative programming.  This person will be an excellent communicator and relationship-builder with a variety of constituents including faculty, researchers, staff, senior university administrators, donors, and the Cuban diaspora.  Supervision and mentorship of the CHC faculty and staff is also crucial to this role, along with the ability to oversee all administrative aspects of the CHC.

All inquiries, nominations/referrals, and applications, including a curriculum vitae and letter of interest that is responsive to the challenges above, should be sent electronically and in confidence to:

In Memoriam Prof. Carl Deal

In Memoriam Prof. Carl Deal

 

Dr. Antonio Sotomayor

Assistant Professor and Librarian of Latin American and Caribbean Studies

September 2017

 

Emeritus Professor Carl Deal, the first University of Illinois’s Latin American and Caribbean Studies Librarian, passed away on Wednesday, Sept. 6, 2017, at Carle Foundation Hospital, Urbana. He was 86. Professor Deal completed an M.A. in Latin American Studies at Mexico City College and an M.S. in library science at Kansas State Teachers’ College. A preeminent leader in the field of Latin American and Caribbean Studies and academic libraries, Professor Deal leaves behind a legacy and a professional track-record difficult to replicate. Before coming to Urbana, he held positions in the Kansas State Historical Society, the Wichita Public Library and the University of Kansas Library, where he directed the student exchange program with the University of Costa Rica. In 1965, he joined the faculty of the University of Illinois as its first Latin American and Caribbean librarian, where he helped build the university’s Latin American and Caribbean collection into a premier academic repository, which today ranks among the top 3 in the nation with almost one million volumes in numerous languages and formats. In 1970, Professor Deal became the second president of the Seminar on the Acquisition of Latin American Library Materials (SALALM), the premier association of Latin American librarians. During the academic year 1972-1973, he served as Director of Illinois’s Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS), and from 1978 to 1982 as Executive Director of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA) when the Secretariat moved to Urbana.

Professor Deal was among the pioneers in establishing close collaborative relations with Latin American vendors in the field to acquire academic library material for research universities in the United States, which eventually became the “Blanket plans.” Throughout his career, Mr. Deal set and achieved a high standard of excellence in bibliographic and academic research. He is the author of works such as:

  • Latin America and the Caribbean: A Dissertation Bibliography. Ann Arbor, Michigan: University Microfilms International, 1978.
  • “The Latin American Microform Project: The First Decade.” Microform Review vol.15 (Winter 1986): 22-27.
  • Academic Publishing in Mexico. Albuquerque, New Mexico: SALALM Secretariat, General Library, University of New Mexico, 1992.
  • Academic publishing in Ecuador. Albuquerque, New Mexico: SALALM Secretariat, General Library, University of New Mexico, 1994.

From Prof. Deal’s obituary we have the following special notes: “He retired from the UI in 1995 after more than a decade as director of Library Collections. In retirement, he continued his work to advance a system of regional cooperation to help smaller institutions around the world gain access to the resources of major library collections. This was consistent with his core personal belief that all people are equally deserving of the same respect and opportunities. Carl was passionate about social justice and always eager to engage with the issues of the day. He was an active participant in life. He knew the opportunities to love and to be loved were precious and unique. During his last days, he advised his family: ‘Life is full of love, fun and adventure, but you have to make it happen. God help us if we ever forget love. It’s the thing that moves us forward.’”

Personally, Don Carlos was a valued mentor, good friend, and my third abuelo. We spent hours talking about the profession, Puerto Rico and Latin America, his good old friends from SALALM, research, but most importantly, family. He always made sure to ask about my family, how they were doing, and loved seeing pictures of us. You could tell how clear it was for him that the most important thing in life was family and people. Everything else was secondary. I never took for granted that he was still among us and each time I saw him at his house, at a social event, or in town, I thought to myself how lucky I was to be talking with a legend and a leader of Latin American and Caribbean librarianship.

Early in my position Don Carlos and Yolanda sent the library a donation to help in the acquisition of material for the collection. I always and sincerely appreciate anybody’s donation to our collection. But receiving one from Prof. Deal was special. I took extra time to honor him in a thank you letter, which I would like to share now as a tribute to a great professional, noteworthy leader, but most of all, a kind friend. Que descanse en paz el gran Don Carl Deal.

“Muy estimado Profesor don Carlos,

It is with great honor and admiration that I write this letter of appreciation for your generous gift of $100 to the University of Illinois Library. I sincerely appreciate your donation, yet I also humbly express my profound gratitude for the work you did as the first Latin American and Caribbean Librarian in our University Library. As I take charge of this magnificent collection, I often stop and admire the vastness of our holdings and recognize time and again the leadership it took to build it, much of it under your wise and pioneering stewardship. Your leadership was not confined to the University Library at Illinois, but also nationwide and reaches the broadest corners in US academia and higher education. In a time where Latin American and the Caribbean entailed an integral part in US academic inquiry and teaching, you led the field and set examples of excellence in bibliographic and research endeavors, continuing to make Illinois a special place to study Latin America. As we move forward into the twenty-first century, and Latin America and the Caribbean enter a new and equally exciting phase, I am confident in my stewardship of our collection knowing that thanks to you it is as strong as any in the US, and the world for that matter. Your gift of $100 is greatly appreciated. However, your gift in building this extraordinary collection is a generous testament of intellectual excellence, professional commitment, and significant service.”

Rachel Schneiderman

A strong linguist, Rachel Schneiderman was active in SALALM and at UF Libraries in a number of capacities ; she was a warm and caring person ; a delightful and pleasant individual, Rachel bonded with colleagues quickly, and sincerely ; she loved cycling, and rode her bicycle in Gainesville to and from our campus.

We worked with her on a number of projects, and she was an enthusiastic team member.
I truly admired her solid knowledge of languages and cultures.

 

This is sad news ; she will be missed.
