      ...ith it. Bahram and Chakraborty focused on two opportunities during their week with Glass. First, Glass has relatively limited computing power and requires developers to work with Google’s programming languages. Within the week, though, the two had the Glass exchanging data with external servers, supplying all the horsepower anyone could want and allowing fellow students to start programing with whatever language they thought would work best. This extra power and flexibility opened the door to a core research interest for the lab, using Glass to improve accessibility for the visually impaired. The technology can and will be transformative for people with limited vision, explained Bahram, who is blind himself. Imagine, he explained, having your glasses tell you User Experience Librarian Adrienne Lai demonstrates Google Glass for students gathered at the Apple Technology Showcase in the Hunt Library. “ . . . USING NOVEL AND INNOVATIVE METHODS” MY #HUNTLIBRARY WINS ALA AWARD My #HuntLibrary (d.lib.ncsu.edu/ myhuntlibrary) has won another American Library Association Cutting-Edge Technology in Library Services award, our third in the last four years. The social media application was honored along with three other programs nationwide “that are serving their communities using novel and innovative methods” and that can be replicated by other libraries to improve their services. Over 1,200 visitors to the new library used the app to upload over 3,600 of their favorite photos of the new library. The result: some great images for all to see and an outpouring of pride in the new facility. 4| FOCUS - NCSU LibrariesLIBRARIES NEWSLeft: Author Michael Pollan discusses his new book and takes questions from the audience.

Pollan read from his most recent book, Cooked: A Natural History of Transformation , which features local barbecue pit-master Ed Mitchell (who was in attendance). Audience members then took the opportunity to ask Pollan his opinion on high-profile food topics such as the debate over gluten and the concern about genetically modified foods. The Friends of the Library appreciates its partnership with Quail Ridge Books & Music and looks forward to co-hosting more wonderful author events in the future! LIBRARIES FACING BUDGET CUTS As part of the budget reductions levied on the university by the North Carolina General Assembly, the Libraries is absorbing a cut of more than $1.3 million for the fiscal year 2013/14, about 5% of our total budget. To meet these budget cuts, we have had to eliminate 27 positions and are currently canceling subscriptions to 642 journal titles. In addition, hours have been cut in the branch libraries, and the D. H. Hill Library and the Hunt Library are planning to substantially reduce the number of days per week when they are open 24 hours to meet the study and research schedules of students and faculty. Unfortunately, it is also possible that the university and the Libraries will face further cuts in the fiscal year that begins July 1, 2014.6| FOCUS - NCSU LibrariesNCSU LIBRARIES ACQUIRES 80 YEARS OF ANIMAL RIGHTS AND ANIMAL WELFARE PAMPHLETS To expand its collection strengths in Animal Rights and Welfare, the Libraries Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) has acquired an important collection of nearly 400 rare pamphlets and other works relating to animal advocacy, animal rights, and animal welfare. These materials enhance the Libraries’ collecting efforts in an interdisciplinary field that engages scholars across the humanities, human and veterinary medicine, and the sciences. Of significant scholarly and historical importance, the collection spans a period of over eighty years from the 1870s to the 1950s, and includes a wealth of promotional, advocacy, and educational materials that shed light on the moral, social, medical and political dimensions of this complex movement. The new collection is already being put to use in NC State classrooms. A selection of the pamphlets was used to introduce students to primary source materials in a Biology class on Human-Animal Interaction. SCRC staff is now working with faculty to develop a class assignment using the historical pamphlets and contrasting them with contemporary animal rights and welfare records from the collections for the upcoming Fall 2014 semester. The acquisition of these pamphlets builds on the NCSU Libraries’ leadership in this NEW LIBRARIES MOBILE TOURS APP The new NCSU Libraries Mobile Tours App allows you to explore the inspiring and sophisticated learning spaces and cutting-edge design of the James B. Hunt Jr. Library, with tours of the D. H. Hill Library as well.

The Acting for Animals grant was supported with funding from the Council on Library and Information Resources. Dr. Tom Regan, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at NC State, notes that “before the recent acquisition, the library’s holdings were the most comprehensive in the world. With the addition of these new materials, especially the ones from the nineteenth century, the library has strengthened its claim to preeminence. ” The depth and breadth of the NCSU Libraries’ collections now provide a rich trove of primary resources to support research in animal advocacy, rights, and welfare from the 1870s to the present.

Hunt Jr. Library Photographs by Doug Van De Zande January–October 2014 D. H. Hill Exhibit Gallery Construction documents usually refer to a comprehensive set of architectural plans, but Raleigh photographer Doug Van de Zande created a different type of Construction Documents for the NCSU Libraries. From late 2010 through the fall of 2011 Van de Zande photographed the Hunt Library’s workers who moved earth, poured concrete, pulled wire, and clad the exterior with its iconic “fins.” These portraits, made with a traditional eight-by-ten inch view camera, offer a unique, behind-the- scenes perspective on the people and process that brought the Hunt Library to life. James B. Hunt Jr.: A Legacy of Leadership February 1–March 14, 2014 James B. Hunt Jr. Library To coincide with Governor James B. Hunt, Jr.’s official portrait unveiling, hosted by the Office of the Chancellor on February 13, 2014, the NCSU Libraries was honored to create an exhibit that celebrated the roots and impact of Governor Hunt’s career. If you missed the installation, the exhibit can be viewed online at lib.ncsu. edu/hunt-legacy-of-leadership/. COMING THIS FALL Leading the Pack: Student Leaders at NC State November 2014 This exhibit draws from the NCSU Libraries Student Leadership Initiative, a compelling oral history project begun in 2010 that has archived dozens of video interviews from student leaders, as well as biographical essays and images. Current students, alumni, and the community alike will gain insight into the breadth and depth of leaders produced by NC State University.

The visitors to the Hunt Library are a diverse group, ranging from architects and design firms to government agencies and community groups.
