Regrettably, I must announce that Karin Readel will be leaving UMBC as DoIT's Director of Instructional Technology. After deciding with her husband Bryan to relocate to Illinois, she has accepted a position as Education Coordinator in the Illinois Informatics Institute at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her last day at UMBC will be Friday, June 7.

Since joining DoIT in 2010, Karin has had a tremendous impact on UMBC’s support of instructional technology. I thought I knew a thing or two about Blackboard, but I bow to her expertise and will miss it greatly. We all will. Beyond her rock solid leadership of DoIT’s instructional technology services and support, Karin has been a delightful colleague and friend. I’ve never worked with a more “can do” person, and will miss her energy and anecdotes. 

Karin returns to Illinois roots having studied at Urbana-Champaign and working at DePaul University. She came to UMBC’s Geography & Environmental Systems (GES) Department in 1999, rising to the rank of Senior Lecturer and serving as Undergraduate Program Director. She developed the lab science for non-majors course, SCI100 "Water: An Interdisciplinary Study," which she also redesigned for hybrid delivery in 2005, the first year DoIT supported the Alternate Delivery Program (ADP). Her extensive service to the campus included co-chairing the Academic Conduct Committee and serving on the President’s Commission for Women as well as the Computer Policy Committee. She advised countless numbers of UMBC students, and was well-known in the residence halls as a faculty mentor, often accompanied by her trusty canine companion "Bob," who was featured in UMBC Magazine.

I will follow up about future plans, but for now, please join me in congratulating Karin on her new endeavors, and thanking her for her success and friendship at UMBC.

Sincerely,

John Fritz
Asst. VP, Instructional Technology & New Media
UMBC Division of Information Technology

Please enjoy Dot's report below:

Come to the Library Rotunda this summer and see a collection of vintage cameras. Imagine a world without Instagram and instant photography! This camera collection demonstrates twentieth-century technical innovations that shifted photography from a professional, time consuming hobby to an amateur sport.

The twentieth century changed how and why we took photographs. Cameras had faster mechanical shutters, rangefinders, exposure meters, flash, and automatic technology. They became smaller, easier to use, and after the first CPU (central processing unit) in 1981—smarter! These cameras show us how we got from the first Kodak in 1888 to the iPhone.


Pictured above: Kodak Vest Pocket Model B c.1925-c.1934

Featured cameras include a Kodak Premoette c.1909-1912, an Ernemann Heag IV c.1925, an early Polaroid c. 1955, and pioneer 35 mm cameras such as the Argus A and the Kodak 35. Cameras donated to Special Collections by William B. Cavanaugh (June 2, 1924-January 19, 2013)

Remember: Special Collections is open by appointment during the summer semester!

Thank you, Dot!

Did you know that art played a pivotal role in Poland’s 1989 Solidarity Movement?  Solidarity was a broad anti-bureaucratic, workers-rights movement in 1980s Poland that eventually became a powerful political force. In addition to publishing over 500 newspapers and broadcasting their message via pirate radio stations, the Solidarity movement used art, particularly posters, to communicate their revolutionary message,  and even created a new school of art—The Polish Poster School—along the way.  Special Collections has a treasure trove of hundreds of posters, handouts, and newspapers. There are copies of the iconic work of graphic designer Jerzy Janiszewski (who created a style of writing known as Solidaric)  as well as Tomasz Sarnecki’s well-known poster that features an image of Gary Cooper from the 1952 film “High Noon.”

View the finding aid for this collection, now available online, for more information about the Solidarity movement and the Solidarity materials held in the Library: http://aok2.lib.umbc.edu/specoll/Solidarity/index.php.

Want to come look at the records yourself? Contact Special Collections to set up an appointment at x52353 or speccoll@umbc.edu. We also hold open research hours on Monday through Friday, 1pm to 4pm, with additional hours from 4pm to 8pm Thursday nights.

History graduate student Shae Adams worked in Special Collections this Spring with the Joseph L. Arnold manuscript. She has provided us with this report from the scene!

Intern Shae Adams here with breaking news from your very own Special Collections: Something exciting is happening in Special Collections! (Ed. note: something exciting is always happening in Special Collections.) We are partnering with the UMBC history department to bring you a digitized history of Baltimore that you can access from the comfort of your living room. Over the course of the semester I have begun compiling and editing a manuscript written by the late Dr. Joseph Arnold, a former UMBC history professor. The manuscript provides an overview of the history of Baltimore from its founding in 1730 to the beginnings of suburbanization in the 1920s with plenty of dramatic events in between. Dr. Arnold’s work explores the heroism of Baltimoreans during the War of 1812, the bitter divisions within the city during the Civil War, alongside the triumphs and tragedies of immigrants determined to find acceptance in their new home.

The manuscript is currently in the editing phases. But progress has been made! Only a few months ago, the book existed only as a jumble of chapters and revisions arranged in archival boxes. Now the chapters have been reunited in a single document ready for final content editing. Through the continued partnership with the history department, Special Collections has high hopes that the manuscript will become an integral part in growing UMBC’s presence in the digital humanities following its online publication.

Stay posted for further updates on this story as it unfolds!


Thank you, Shae!
