Washington DC Alumni Gathering
When was the last time you participated in an Alumni event? The
University of Central Florida Libraries hosted an Alumni event in
Washington, D.C., honoring those UCF Knights that have continued their
careers in our nation's capital. Over 50 guests gathered at Morton's
The Steakhouse in downtown Washington, D.C., and enjoyed great music,
food, and a chance to interact with some of our subject experts form our
various library departments.

Barbara Vennman (UCF Class
of 1989) with Mr. Barry B. Baker (Director of Libraries) |
The Library Development Office coordinated this grand event, which brought back
great memories for our guests. The UCF Libraries was honored in having
the opportunity to share with all of the attendees about our current and
upcoming projects. We were delighted in seeing how our Alumni have
grown as professionals, and we look forward to meeting with them again
in the future.
UCF represented at
American Library Association
2007 Conference
More than 28,600 librarians, exhibitors and library
supporters, including 26 of our own UCF librarians, attended the 128th
American Library Association Annual Conference. The event was held at
the Washington Convention Center from June 21 to 27. Our librarians
represented UCF by showcasing their talents through poster sessions,
forums, and special presentations.
The impact of this conference was so impressive,
that according to the Washington, D.C. Tourism Bureau, the conference
generated more than $15.6 million in revenue for the local economy. The
UCF Libraries presenters inspired not only those attending the
conference, but also some tourists who expressed an interest in our
organization, putting our university on a national level of recognition.

UCF Libraries involved in
Kerouac Project

exhibit that will illustrate the life and times of Jack Kerouac as a
Central Florida resident. The exhibit,
Kerouac in Florida: Where the Road Ends, will be in display from
September to October 2007 on the main floor of the Orlando Campus
library.
In addition, the UCF Libraries will commemorate the 50th anniversary
of the publication of his On the Road. The August edition of our
In Development newsletter will have all of the details concerning
the festivities.
