SPRING 2000 Volume 10 Number 2
DIRECTOR's COLUMN
The countdown to the renovation of the Honnold wing of the Honnold/ Mudd Library has begun. Signs have been placed outside and inside the building, and we are preparing for our biggest logistical challenge in more than 10 years. If all goes according to schedule, this wing will be closed from mid- May until late August for a major overhaul. During this period, the Mudd wing of the building will remain open, all services will continue, and we will make every effort to obtain materials you and your students need even though many of our own collections will be inaccessible.
Prior to closing the Honnold wing, current periodicals and newspapers will be relocated to the Mudd wing temporarily so that they will be accessible during the renovation. Substantial preliminary work necessary for this move and other related projects as well as for moving more than 30 staff members to temporary quarters during the renovation is now underway.
Unfortunately, the collections that remain in the Honnold wing will be unavailable during most of the renovation project. These include bound periodicals, Asian vernacular collections, general collections in the call number categories A- K, and special collections. These collections will be unavailable due to the necessiry of wrapping them for protection from the dirty work of tearing out ceilings, electrical fixtures, duct work, etc. As soon as it is possible, we will remove their protective wrapping and retrieve needed materials from these collections.
I realize that faculry members may experience inconveniences during the renovation, but subject specialists and other library staffwill strive to make this period as painless as possible by working with you to ensure that your needs are met. Included with this Newsletter is an insert that describes the renovation project in more detail. You can find additional information on the special renovation web site at http:// voxlibris. c1aremont. edu/ hm/ cefa. html. Or you can ask specific questions by sending an e- mail message to renovatio n@ rocky. claremont. edu.
As always, I am happy to receive your questions, comments, and suggestlons. -€'

A Renovation Note from Special Collections
Special Collections will benefit greatly from the Honnold building renovation primarily with updated environmental controls in collections areas and improved staff spaces. During the renovation period, the Special Collections Reading Room will be closed and collections will be moved into closed and/ or remote areas. Most Special Collections materials will probably not be available for extended periods while the new air conditioning, heating, and lighting systems are installed along with other improvements.
We anticipate limited service beginning in mid- April and extending through summer 2000. Special Collections staff will tempotarily relocate to Denison Library where they will offer reference service and researchers may request materials for use as available. In addition, items that faculty and other researchers request in advance will be available on an uninterrupted basis.
If you will inform us as soon as possible, and no later than April 1, of specific books, manuscripts, photographs, pamphlets, maps, and other materials that you may need between April and September 2000, we will make every reasonable e~ f<') rr to arrange to have these available to you. We need to know by April 1 so that materials you identify can be relocated ro a convenient area well in advance of the renovation period.
Please contact Jean Beckner at ext. 73977, or Judy Harvey Sahak at ext. 18973 with your questions and requests. We want to discuss possibilities for your continued use of Special Collections. "<,

PERSPECTIVEı
" The Woman in the Red Dress," or " You've Come a Long Way, Baby"
Although special collections librarians are positioned today in the forefront of utilizing technology to promote scholarship by digitizing unique collections, preparing electronic exhibitions of treasured holdings, and designing innovative and informative web sites, six years ago I was a novice computer user. And, on behalf of all the rare books and manuscripts in the Libraries, I was franldy feeling threatened by visions of a paperless, i. e., bookless, library. I shuddered at the prospect of plasric screens replacing the words and images on vellum and handmade linen paper that had delighted the senses for centuries.
My favorite in Denison's Rare Book Room was- and still is- a sumptuous 15th century Flemish Book ofHours cited as " Kirby 1". This beautifully lettered and exquisitely decorated manuscript which long ago accompanied its doubtless female owner to daily chapel services fits perfecrly into this library on a women's college campus. The patroness is pictured kneeling in the intricately flowered border of the first vellum leaf serenely regarding a miniature scene of the Annunciation, holding an open book and dressed in what is obviously a red velvet gown.
In the early 1980' s while compiling a guide to all the pre- 16th century manuscripts in Claremont', scholars were able to identify~' the woman in the red dress through the coats of arms painted throughout the book. Clearly and conclusively, the Book ofHours had been produced for Philippa Utenhove on the occasion of her marriage to Jacob Donche of Ghent in 1480. He was 48, and Philippa, his second wife, was 17. I defied anyone to claim that 500 years hence, the unearthing of an IBM 486 would give the same deep sense of historical continuity that I developed with this 15th century book.
An e- mail- yes, as in " electronic" message- in December 1993, forever shattered my mistrust of technology. Through cyberspace and spanning five centuries came a message from Pieter Donche in Antwerp, Belgium, curious about the manuscript his ancestor had long been rumored by family lore to have commissioned.~ b An internet search2• led him to Claremont 514 years later to pass on some of his own genealogical research and to wistfully conclude, " 1 guess I will never be able to acquire the original." Well, Pietel' Donche, no you won't, but 1 am most grateful that you asked. ~,

DISCOURSEı
Claremont Discourse Lecture Series
Spring 2000
The Libraries of The Claremont Colleges are once again proud to present four lectures by Claremont Colleges faculty. Two lectures took place in February.
The 1996 South African constitution officially made Apar­theid
a matter of history and South Africa a democracy where the minority could no longer rule. Waiting to rush in from the wings, however, were the representatives of a global trading order eager to make the new democracy a part of their not- always- benign machinery. On Thursday, February 10, in his lecture, " Phantasmagoria of Mind?: White White Fathers, Ebony Entrepreneurs and the Recolonization of South Africa," Sidney Lemelle, Associate Professor of History at Pomona College and member of the Intercollegiate Department of Black Studies, examined South Africa's quandary of how to maintain a just society- and autonomy- in the face of powerful economic forces and pressures brought to bear by such enrities as the IMF, the World Bank, and incernational corporations and the African Americans who represent them. The process of " nco- coloni­zation"
by mergers and acquisitions, by the proponents of Nike and Starbucks, holds an aJmost poignanc irony for a former colony such as South Africa. That many of the staunchest represencatives of global capitalism in South Africa are African Americans compounds this irony. Professor Lemelle is the aurhor of Pan- Africanism fOr Beginners ( Writers and Readers Press, 1992) and many
articles about the economic politics of colonial Tanzania. Professor Lemelle's lecture was based on his essay by the same name, soon to be published by Africa World Press in
Black Modernity: 20th Century Discourses Between the United States and South Africa, edited by Pitzer professor Nrongela Masilela.
In 1996, the average black woman earned only 86 cents for every dollar earned by a white woman. The earnings gap between Hispanic and white women also appears to be growing, and the earnings advantage traditionally enjoyed by Asian American women is growing smaller. On Wednesday, February 23rd, in her lecture, " Trends in the Economic Status of Minority Women," Cecilia Conrad, Associate Professor of Economics, Pomona College, summarized and discussed these trends and the critical importance of three factors­differences
in labor force attachment, differences in occupational mobility, and the enforcement of equal employment opportunity laws. This lecture was based on a paper she presenced at the National Academy of Sciences/ National Research Council Conference on Racial Trends in October 1998, and is scheduled to be published as part of an edited volume by the National Academy of Sciences. Professor Contad has presented many papers and published in such journals as The journal of Economic History and The Review of Black Economy. Her diverse research incerests include economic educa­tion,
affirmative action, minority­owned
businesses, and labor markets.

Two more lecrures are scheduled, one in March and one in April.
Wednesday, March 8th, 4: 15 p. m. " New Perspecrives from Astronomy and Astrophysics"
Keele Learning Room, Honnold/ Mudd Library ( refreshments follow the lecwre)
In his lecture, Bryan Penprase, Associate Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Pomona College, will review recent developments in space observatories, interplanetary explora­tion,
and ground- based astronomy, and the new views of the universe that are unfolding. He will discuss the impact of these observations on our models of the universe and our picture of where we came from, as well as prospects for the future. Professor Penprase has worked extensively in many areas of astrophysics, ptimarily in observa­tional
astronomy r I ted to the interstellar medium and star forma­tion,
and has published widely in refereed journals. Recently he was awarded an ASEE/ JPL Summer Faculty Fellowship to support his ongoing research at JPL using the Hubble Space Telescope and other astronomical resources.
Wednesday, April 12th, 4: 15 p. m. " Playing With WorJs: The Cross­word
Puzzle Mania and American Culture During the 1920s"
Founders Room, Honnold/ Mudd Library ( refreshments available at 4: 00 p. m.)
During the mid- I920s, Ameri­cans
went crazy over crossword puzzles, and what had been a minor weekly feature in a handful of newspapers became a full- fledged mania. In 1924, Simon and Schuster published the world's first crossword puzzle book ( and its first book), which quickly became a national besr seller and rhe basis of its fortune as a publishing house. Growing numbers of newspapers sponsored crossword contests and ran daily puzzles that involved hundreds of thousands of subscribers. In his lecture, Hal Barron, Professor of History, Harvey Mudd College, and a lover of crossword puzzles, will lead us " across and down" on a tour of the early history of this great American invention, exploring the sources of the puzzle's appeal for what it might tell us about Ametican society and culture during the 1920s. This lecture is based on an article that appeared in the ChronicLe of Higher Education in May 1999. Professor Barron is the author of Mixed Harvest: The Second Great TransfOr­mation
in the Rural North, 1870­1930
( Chapel Hill, UNC Press, 1997), and Those Who Stayed Behind: Rural Society in Nineteenth- Century New England ( N. Y., Cambridge University Press, 1984, paperback edition, 1987). He is the recipient of numerous grants and has published extensively in journals on American social and rural history.

' Weingart Grant Update
During the past year, three teams of librarians have been actively pursuing the three major objectives of the Weingart Foundation grant.
To fill gaps in our collections and to develop new collections for subject areas not adequately represented at the Libraries. The Weingart Col1ections Augmentation Team ( WCAT) focuses on identif} ring gaps in the collections. Several techniques are being used to gather relevant data. The team surveyed all faculty in spring, 1999, to solicit suggested tides to purchase. WCAT also purchased col1ection assessment services from OCLC/ WLN, the primary vendor in this area. For example, OCLC compared our library holdings with the collections of Brown University and Dartmouth University for humanities and social sciences and with Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Oberlin University for the sciences. As well, subject specialists have suggested that WCAT purchase tides that are related to the coursework and research of students and faculty. As a result of this project, library patrons have access to new materials such as
The American Slave, a Composite Autobiography, the 2000 edition of The Corporate Finance Sourcebook,
Early English Books Online, and the video of A Raisin In the Sun. Many other titles have also been purchased and are currently on the shelves. WCAT continues to be interested in faculty suggestions. Information can be emailed to weingartlist@ rocky. c1aremont. edu.
To catalog and thereby represent all materials held in the Libraries' collections in the online catalog. The Weingart Col1ection Access Team ( WCAST) iden tified over seventy collections which were not represented 10 Blais, the Libraries' online catalog. After prioritizing the col1ections, contracts were signed with cataloging vendors to process 3,000 Special Collections titles and 3,000 general collection tides. In addition, hundreds of added copies and volumes were added to Blais records and to the collections. Strategies for cataloging government publications- United States and international- were developed and will begin soon. WCAST has also discussed methods to provide consistent, up- to- date name, tide, and subject headings in Blais and intends to sign a contract with an authorities vendor in the next year.
To develop and implement a vigorous, proactive preservation plan. The Weingart Preservation Team ( WPT) identified several strategies to produce a preservation plan appro­priate
for the Libraries. Until these plans can be finalized, WPT has identified several projects which can be implemented this year. Examples include binding and repairing bound periodicals in the general collection as well as digitizing the Wheeler scrapbooks which deal with local Claremont histOry. These materials are fragile yet are frequently used by
library patrons.
