Alpin, Director of Library Lab & Special Projects at New York University Libraries, and Isabel Soto-Luna, Business Librarian at the University of Nebraska Omaha. Each shares personal reflections on failure and insights for recovery. While failure is something none of us wish for, it holds potential growth.

Sandra Younger, a part-time undergraduate student of Baruch College, became the library’s 10 millionth visitor On Saturday morning, February 3, 2007. In commemoration of this milestone event she received a $1,000 gift certificate to the Baruch College Bookstore. Arthur Downing, Chief Information Officer/Assistant Vice President for Information Technology, and Chief Librarian, Baruch College, opened the celebration by pointing out that last year when “the university surveyed the undergraduate student population and asked Baruch students how they felt about the library…not a single student indicated any level of dissatisfaction.” Bernard Banks, president of the Undergraduate Student Government, praised the Newman Library as “a place we should be proud of” and singled out the library’s 24 hour schedule during midterms and finals as providing “students with a safe heaven” when they have to study late hours. Provost David Dannenbring, the College’s chief academic officer, noted the library’s strong service commitment to student and faculty needs. The celebration also recognized four finalists in the Newman Library Trivia Quiz contest, which tested students’ knowledge of the library. Baruch students Harrison Adler, Siddharth Bajaj, Christian Drankwalter, and Joel Ramos each received a certificate for an iPhone, which will be available from Apple® after June 1. Professor Downing explained that the iPhones were selected as prizes to reflect the library’s commitment to leadership in the use of information technology."

Jerry Bornstein, Deputy Chief Librarian at the Newman Library shares his stories assisting patrons finding information in the library. "...helping students learn how to find information, to evaluate information, and to use information is important not only to help them succeed in school, help them prepare for their future careers, but is also important for society. The whole concept of a democratic society is based on an idea of an informed citizenry", said Professor Bornstein.
