Beki WelschPresident's Message

Beki Welsch ...

 

Greetings to my fellow AZ SLA members.

The year is well under way. We have had two programs and there are more to come. I hope you all enjoyed the talk by the new Executive Director of SLA, Roberta Shaffer. You can read more about that elsewhere in this issue.

Your officers are trying to come up with fund-raising ideas to earn money for our 25th anniversary celebration coming up in two years. Selling the raffle tickets for door prizes is an idea that brought in about $20 at the October meeting. We welcome your ideas for fund-raising events and for ways to celebrate. Please email or talk to any of the officers with your ideas.

Here is another opportunity for you to help your chapter with a short-term time commitment. I know that door prizes have been popular at the meetings. Carla Smith and I have tried to be creative in acquiring them. We have gotten free meals at several restaurants, baskets of goodies from Trader Joe's, product samples from the Body Shoppe, free passes to the AZ Science Museum, gift certificates from Changing Hands Bookstore, Wild Oats and Blockbuster Video, and goodies from Starbucks. Most places are quite willing to donate to non-profit organizations like SLA. All you need to do is ask. I would like each of you to think about how you might make a contribution. If you work for a museum library, or a university that has cultural events, please ask if you can get a pair of tickets donated for door prizes. If you have a favorite restaurant you frequent, ask them. Since you are a good customer, they will probably be delighted. Email me with what you received so the door prizes can be promoted in meeting announcements. Bring the items to the next meeting (or send them with someone else if you can't attend.)

Thanks so much for supporting your Chapter.

October Meeting Minutes

The meeting began at 3:36 p.m. on October 26, 2001 in room 313/14 of the UA Main Library. Members present included Carla Smith, Catherine Dimenstein, Ann Eagan, Karen Holloway, Laura Bender, Valorie Rice, Sheila Donnelly, Sheila Merrigan, Lori Critz, Jim Martin, and one visitor.

Valorie Rice indicated that the notes from the last meeting were missing a notation for Government Relations, for which there was no report. It was moved to accept the minutes of the September 21st meeting as corrected.

Executive Board Reports

President-Elect/Program Chair - Ann Eagan: The September 21st meeting did not have the attendance that was expected (probably due to the events of September 11th), but was a very useful program and received favorable comments. Ann indicated that it was a learning experience as only one of the three panel members was present in person - one joined via phone and another joined via web conferencing. Upcoming programs include a possible joint program with SCIP in January.

Treasurer - Lori Critz: There had not been a great deal of activity since the September meeting, the current balance being $3560.18. There was $257.22 worth of expenses since the last report (that being the fall bulletin), and $140.00 worth of income from the September program. Lori noted that the cost of the bulletin has increased a great deal this last year. There was some discussion concerning saving costs by identifying those who do not want to receive the bulletin in hard copy or finding other (cheaper) printing options. Carla Smith will talk to Dianne about this. Lori mentioned that she hopes to have $6000 saved by the end of the year. We made $16 dollars today by offering an extra raffle ticket to those who donated a dollar.

Secretary - Valorie Rice: No report.

Committee Reports

Affirmative Action/Diversity Leadership: Vacant

Bulletin Editor - Dianne Bean: No report

Bulletin Business Editor - Lisa Bradley: All advertisers and potential advertisers were mailed the 2002 ad rates. Lisa also followed up with phone contact at each vendor and made updates to contact information in some cases. She expects vendors to be sending payments soon, though she noted that some contacts stated they were working under tightened budgets and would let her know their advertising status soon. She provided a list of vendors that letters were sent to and asked that if anyone has additions to the list to let her know. Beki noted that she had sent Lisa several possibilities. The list is: OPAMP Technical Books, Inc.; Majors Scientific Books, Inc.; Document Center; EBSCO Information Services; TDI Library Services; Cambridge Scientific Abstracts; Schramm & Associates - Kiplinger Forecasts; Information Handling Services; Iron Horse Multimedia, Inc.; Infotrieve; Copyright Laws; Lexis-Nexis.

Career Guidance - Ann Eagan: Spoke with one person since last meeting and that was to thank her, as the person got a job.

Chapter Archivist - Wes Rader: Nothing new has been added lately. He sent Carla Smith information on the last anniversary celebration. The archives are being well kept!

Employment - Betsy Lazan: In the last month, seven positions have been posted on the discussion list, two for Arizona state library and five for academic libraries. The positions ranged from entry-level to deputy director, with four of the positions in Arizona. Volunteer opportunities with the World Library Partnership were also posted on the discussion list.

Government Relations - Cinda McClain: No report

International Relations - Pat Morris: No report

Membership - Sheila Donnelly: There are 104 members. This is a decrease. Sheila has had a few requests for brochures from members, and she still has a number of them. She brought a few to the meeting today and will send some to anyone who asks. Sheila Merrigan suggested that we have an SLA advertising/marketing type poster to hang in the Library Student Organization's (LSO) office on the University of Arizona campus. SLA does not have any posters to give chapters or even sell, so Sheila Donnelly will look into having a few made, as well as having a banner made for chapter events (which was a suggestion from Carla Smith). SLA headquarters sent a electronic version on the membership list, which she passed along to the networking chairpersons and to Beki Welsch.

Networking, Northern AZ - Ann Eagan: No report.

Networking, Phoenix - Carla Smith: There were eight people at the last dinner meeting, with another one planned for Tempe in November. The first morning meeting was held at SRP.

Networking, Tucson - Jim Martin: There was a lunch meeting in the beginning of October in which five people attended. He is looking at having another event in early December. Jim's computer had crashed a while back, so he lost his mailing list and had to reconstruct it. He now has a copy of the membership list thanks to Sheila Donnelly.

Professional Development - Cathy Large: No report

Publications - Laura Bender: She indicated that some people from the computer center (CCIT) have offered to help build a searchable interface for the CD-ROM. There are 238-240 entries in the CD version. She will meet with Jose on Monday to talk about the project. The keyword searches that she has in mind now are personal name, city and subject. She asked to group if there were any other suggestions for searchable fields and suggestions were public vs. private or "open to public", name of library or business, and every field. The projected date for this would be December, and Laura asked if someone could make a CD label that would be consistent with the previous edition.

Public Relations - Lori Critz: No report (Lori had to leave the meeting early, before we got to this report.)

Strategic Planning - Carla Smith: Carla gave the latest updates to the plan to Jack to post on the site.

Student Chapter Liaison - Sheila Merrigan: The student group has toured the newly remodeled Special Collections at UA and met with Roberta Shaffer this morning. There are two more tours scheduled, and Nov. 6 is their next general meeting.

Webmaster - Jack Mount: No report - has posted our events on the national calendar.

OLD BUSINESS

In regards to sending bulletins to neighboring chapters, it was decided to send email notices to them or even to post to the leadership discussion list.

Fundraising for the 25th anniversary celebration was considered. Carla Smith has the folder from the last celebration, but there is no information on the money spent. It was suggested that we should seek outside sources for funding besides just doing raffles. Sheila Donnelly asked if there was a committee formed for this, and there is not one yet and it was suggested that she contact Laura Bender and Chris Vathis Howell about how last celebration was organized.

In regards to the outreach discussion from last meeting, one person replied that they would be willing to talk with high school students. Ann Eagan suggested that we look into getting a video from headquarters that we could use for outreach purposes. There was also a question raised as to having someone to find out when career events are being held at the schools.

The question was raised concerning another career fair in conjunction with the library school in April. Lori Critz, who was on the planning committee for this years fair indicated that it could happen - but only if there is adequate help. She and Beki both stated that it was a large undertaking. It would take several people, including at least one or two local people to organize it.

NEW BUSINESS

There is a virtual seminar on Wednesday, December 5 entitled "Tempered Radicals: Change Agency in the 21st Century Organization". Information on the seminar can be found on the SLA website.

Library Tour - AMEC

Elyse Rukkila was the hostess for the November 15th meeting of the AZ SLA Phoenix Networking group. Elyse is the librarian at the AMEC Earth & Environmental Sector Technical Library. AMEC is a leading full-service earth and environmental consulting firm, providing multi-disciplined solutions covering all aspects of environmental services, materials testing and water resource services.

Beki & Elyse Rukkila
Beki and Elyse Rukkila
The library is located at 3232 West Virginia Avenue in Phoenix. Elyse started working part-time in the library in 1996. She then went to work elsewhere, but recently returned as the full-time librarian in March. Elyse supports all the Earth & Environmental sector employees working in North America.

The AMEC library consists of two cozy rooms filled with a very interesting and specialized collection. One room contains Elyse's desk and computer, some files and a beautiful old card catalog. The other room is filled to capacity with topographical maps, videos, environmental regulations, proceedings of conferences, journals and books. The library contains approximately 20,000 books and 116 journals.

Besides office space for employees, there are also two labs in the building: a soils lab and an asphalt lab. Soil and asphalt samples are brought in from all over the country to be analyzed. The library uses the "askSam" database to search the collection. It is accessible by all employees on their desktop computer via a shared drive. GEODEX is the classification system used.

Elyse is currently working on creating a library webpage for the company Intranet and is learning ColdFusion. Elyse is typically given a project budget and a specific job number for each new request. She bills each project for her time spent and is billed out at $60.00 an hour. Typical questions Elyse can answer include: "Can you find an article about landslides in Mohave County?" and "Is there a city code on utility depths?"

AMEC's most recent project is the Hoover Dam bypass. Engineers are beginning the environmental impact and seismic studies. Elyse uses the GEOREF database for research. GeoRef is produced by the American Geological Institute and it covers the world's literature in geology and geosciences. She also relies on information from state and local sources. Many thanks for hostessing!

PROSPECTING FOR ARIZONA'S MINING LITERATURE

Jack D. Mount

Mining has been one of the leading industries throughout Arizona's history -- the development and history of the State is largely tied to the mineral discoveries, miners and mining companies. Even the name of the State of Arizona refers to the "Arizona" or "Arizonac" mining district active in colonial Spanish times and located in what is now northern Sonora. Arizona continues to be one of the leading mining states; in fact, 65% of America's copper comes from Arizona.

This article is a brief guide to publications currently available in print which will help in identifying and researching Arizona's mining activities and economic minerals. It may also serve as a "core list" for information managers developing their collections.

Monographs

Geology of Arizona. By J. Dale Nations and Edmund Stump. Kendall/Hunt; 2nd edition, 1996. In textbook format, this well illustrated reference is designed for the reader with no formal geologic training. One chapter is devoted to mining and the origins of the ores.

Geologic Evolution of Arizona. By J. P. Jenney and S. J. Reynolds, editors. Arizona Geological Society; 1989. This large volume is intended to be a technical summary of current knowledge of Arizona's geology. Many of the chapters are devoted to the geologic origins of the ore deposits and mining activities.

History of Mining in Arizona. By J. Michael Canty and Michael N. Greeley, editors. Mining Club of the Southwest Foundation, 1987-1999. Now in three volumes, this reference is a well-illustrated and a fairly comprehensive discussion of the topic.

There are a number of other monographs currently in print discussing various aspects of Arizona's mining history. Some of the interesting titles are: Arizona's Ghost Towns and Mining Camps: A Travel Guide to History, by Philip Varney, 1998; Bisbee, Arizona Yesterday & Today: A Comparative View of the Queen of the Copper Camps, by Neil L. Bush, 1992; Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983, by Barbara Kingsolver, 1997; Mining Camps and Ghost Towns; A History of Mining in Arizona and California Along the Lower Colorado, by Frank Love, 1974; and Quest for the Pillar of Gold: The Mines & Miners of the Grand Canyon, by George H. Billingsley, Earle E. Spamer, and Dove Menkes, 1997.

Mineralogy of Arizona. By John W. Anthony, Sidney A. Williams, Richard A. Bideaux, and Raymond W. Grant. University of Arizona Press; 3rd edition, 1995. With its beautiful color illustrations, this book is a comprehensive study of Arizona's minerals and their occurrences.

Web Sites

During this "Age of the Web", I must offer at least a few choice Web sites.

The Arizona Department of Mines & Mineral Resources is at: http://www.admmr.state.az.us/ . The site includes a list of publications currently available. Many of the titles in its "Circulars series" are available full-text on-line at no charge.

The Arizona State Mine Inspector has a website at: http://www.asmi.state.az.us/ . This site includes full-text of their publications -- some of the titles are: Arizona Mining Fatalities: 1912-2000; Miner Details: Newsletter of Arizona State Mine Inspector's Office; and their annual reports.

The Web site for the mining department at the University of Arizona -- http://mge.arizona.edu/ --, is a gateway for additional information.

The "Mineral and Energy Resources" page for the Arizona Geological Survey -- http://www.azgs.state.az.us/minerals.htm -- includes a map of economic minerals occurrences. The AGS' website, http://www.azgs.state.az.us/ , includes a list of their available publications.

I have created four useful web pages for mining: "Mining and Economic Minerals Resources" - http://dizzy.library.arizona.edu/library/teams/set/mining/mining.html ; "Mining and Mining Engineering: Reference Sources for Research" - http://dizzy.library.arizona.edu/library/teams/set/mining/miningrefso.html ; "Mining Pathfinder" - http://dizzy.library.arizona.edu/library/teams/set/mining/miningpath.html ; and "Books About Mining Currently Available" - http://dizzy.library.arizona.edu/users/mount/miningbooks.html . ¨
