New Library Staff
With the new academic year, the library has been able to add 2 new part-time staff members. Georgia Vosberg has joined as a Library Clerk. She will be working mornings, handling customer service and projects that will help the student find the right material and the right time. Georgia has previously worked in other departments at NDSCS.
Marylin Vertin joins the library through the auspices of Experience Works. She will be working part-time in the mornings, mostly handling materials processing and ordering. This is the behind the scenes work that makes the books and materials available for student and staff use.
Several new work study students will also begin working afternoons and evenings, supporting the work of the regular staff and keeping the library open into the evening. We are happy to welcome the new workers, both students and staff, and look forward to a productive year.

Fritz Scholder Collection
The NDSCS Alumni/Foundation has recently loaned 5 selections of art by the Native American artist Fritz Scholder to the Mildred Johnson Library. This showing is an effort to bring Scholder's art to more students on campus and create awareness of his heritage and works. His art is still shown throughout the world. Most recently is a featured exhibit at the National Museum of the American Indian, documented at http://www.nmai.si.edu
In the process of being rehung, the works can be seen on the second floor of the Library along with a case of artifacts from Scholder's art and books owned by the Library on his extensive body of material. Take a minute to see what is in the Library or another set of pieces still on display at the Stern Cultural Center on the NDSCS campus.
