Reminder to Students About Constitution Day Essay Contest

Hunter Library is again playing a central role in the University’s activities pertaining to the U.S. Constitution. As a co-sponsor of the Constitution Day Contest, we encourage all undergraduates to pen their thoughts on the 26th Amendment and its enduring effect on American life, thought, and culture. The prompt for the contest goes as follows:

“For most of America’s history, college students were not allowed to vote. In 1971, the 26th Amendment was adopted in recognition that 18-year-olds were old enough to fight wars, but not to vote in elections. A generation later, do you think young adults have fully realized their citizen role? What challenges face your age group today? By what means are you empowered to act, politically and civically, on behalf of your generation’s interests?”

Essays should not exceed 750 words, and should be submitted by 5pm, September 29, to ppi@wcu.edu. Cash prizes include $150 (1st), $100 (2nd), and $50 (3rd).

Winners are also eligible (though not required) to enter their essay for consideration for the December 2006 Commencement Address. The essay that wins 1st Prize will be published in the Western Carolinian.

Important News About IDs and Your Library Account

** UPDATE 11/21/06 **

Student, faculty and staff ID Cards were replaced during the Fall 2006 and everyone was assigned a Banner “92” ID number. Faculty and staff were able to still use their old ID number to access library services to ease the transition to the new ID system. However, this is no longer possible. The library systems have now been changed over so that they will only recognize Banner “92” ID numbers.

---

To ensure privacy and better protect the identity of our students, faculty, and staff, Western Carolina University is in the process of changing ID numbers and issuing everyone new CatCards. Your new CatCard will be encoded with your new ID number, however, the ID number will not appear on the CatCard. SSN’s will no longer be used for any ID numbers.

Student ID Cards will be replaced during registration for Fall 2006. Each student has received a letter from the registrar telling them about their new number and new ID. Faculty/Staff Cat Cards are being sent through campus mail August 14-18.

You must have your new card to utilize Cat Cash, the Library, and other services where the Cat Card is required.

You must know your new ID number to access library resources from off-campus, to access e-reserves, to use Interlibrary Loan, and to log into your library account. To retrieve the new ID number which is encoded into (and not printed onto) the card, please use the ID Finder.

Please call the Reference Desk at 828-227-7465 or toll-free at 866-928-5424, if you have any questions or are experiencing problems with accessing online resources.

See http://www.wcu.edu/it/news/IDchange0806.html for more news about the new ID cards.

Horace Kephart Collection Featured by NC ECHO

Congratulations to our own George Frizzell, Head of Special Collections, whose article on Hunter Library’s Horace Kephart website, was featured in the July 2006 NC ECHO (Exploring Cultural Heritage Online) newsletter. The Kephart website was created in 2004 to commemorate the centennial of this author’s arrival in Western North Carolina. Horace Kephart was a professional librarian-turned-author whose book, Our Southern Highlanders (1913), remains widely read today. Kephart’s portrait of early 20th century life ensures him an enduring legacy in North Carolina letters and history.

In his article, Frizzell refers to Hunter Library’s Kephart site as a “virtual album,” that “presents the essence of Kephart’s vision, and is a tribute to the people and places he photographed.” A collective effort between Hunter Library and Western’s Mountain Heritage Center, the Kephart project was made possible by a Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grant.

To learn more about Kephart and Western North Carolina heritage, please visit the site at http://www.wcu.edu/library/digitalcoll/kephart/.

Horace Kephart Digital Collection Featured in Seminar

Hunter Library’s digital collection, “Horace Kephart: Revealing an Enigma,” will be used as a key resource for an upcoming seminar. NC ECHO (Exploring Cultural Heritage Online) is joining forces with the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching (NCCAT) to offer a week-long seminar: "The Back of Beyond: Portals to our Mountain Past." The goal of this workshop is to foster collaboration between North Carolina public school teachers and cultural heritage professionals.

Attendees will be transported "Back of Beyond" into the Great Smokies at the turn of the nineteenth century -- surrounded by campfires, trains, wild rivers, and wildlife. The life and times of renowned naturalist, woodsman, and author Horace Kephart (1862-1931) will be a jumping-off point for workshop participants to come together to discuss mutual goals and issues. Head of Special Collections, George Frizzell, will be guiding the tour through Western Carolina’s digital collection, as well as presenting the original manuscripts and photos that comprise the online resource. Using these materials as a real-life framework for exploration, librarians, museum curators, public historians, and teachers will have an opportunity to learn from and share with each other. During the seminar, attendees will examine ways that resources from museums and libraries can be brought into the classroom, and they will discuss the unique needs of teachers and ways in which cultural institutions can meet these needs in the online environment.

The seminar will be held May 1-7,2006 at NCCAT's facility in Cullowhee, North Carolina. More information is available on the NC ECHO website www.ncecho.org, or contact Kathy Wisser (katherine.wisser@duke.edu, 919-660-5913) or Hilary Perez (hperez@library.dcr.state.nc.us, 919-807-7418).

Craft Revival Digital Collection Update

NEW COLLECTION BRINGS OLD MATERIALS INTO SHARP FOCUS AT WESTERN LIBRARY

Working with four heritage partners, Western Carolina University's Hunter Library is creating a virtual collection of objects, documents, letters, photos and oral histories that tell the story of an effort to revive mountain crafts during the late 1800s and early 1900s.That movement generated widespread interest in mountain culture and continues to influence Western North Carolina tourism and economic development more than 100 years after the revival began.

“The Craft Revival at the turn of the 20th century helped to shape a strong, on-going interest in crafts and tourism throughout the region,” said Anna Fariello, visiting associate professor who is leading the project for Hunter Library. “I think it is exciting that the latest digital technology is bringing together hundreds of widely scattered, handmade items and photographs from the past via the Internet while the original, local collections will be preserved, intact.”

Beginning around 1890, the Craft Revival highlighted the home-based skills of mountain pioneers who had made their own woven fabrics, carvings, baskets, pots, metal implements, toys, chairs and other items required for survival and comfort in their isolated mountain farms and villages. The early settlers passed those skills from generation to generation until innovations in machinery, rising prosperity and the spread of towns and stores in Western North Carolina made it possible for families to buy most of the things they needed, ready-made.

Just when it seemed that the traditional handcrafting skills were dying out, regional economic development, tourism and an interest in preserving the past were coming alive, Fariello said. Those forces sparked the Craft Revival, with its emphasis on encouraging mountain people to continue making items by hand, not only for their own use but also for sale, and to pass those skills along. The revival in turn triggered the growth of handcraft guilds, weaving centers and folk schools; attracted tourists, scholars and artisans to the region; helped to promote the sale of traditional mountain crafts; and shaped the development of new ones.

Hunter Library is working on the Craft Revival Project with four partners – the John C. Campbell Folk School, Penland School of Crafts, Western's Mountain Heritage Center and the library's Special Collections section – and three advisers – the North Carolina Center for the Advancement of Teaching; the Center for Crafts, Creativity and Design; and Qualla Arts and Crafts Mutual, an artisan cooperative.

Fariello recently organized a workshop on digital imaging equipment set-up and operation. Over the next year, the partners will digitize images from the schools' collections in Mitchell and Clay counties, as well as items from various smaller repositories in museums and local historical societies throughout the region. The completed, Web-based collection will be available online to students, teachers, researchers, scholars, historians, museums, craft centers and the public.

Western's Craft Revival Project is funded in part by a grant of $85,000, renewable for three years for a potential total of $250,000, from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services, through the North Carolina State Library. Western received the only Heritage Partners Grant awarded by the State Library in 2005.
