Leadership of Library Continues under Dr. Charles Courtney
Leadership of the Library changed hands during the summer when Dr. Charles Courtney was appointed Acting Director, following the resignation of Dr. Deirdre C. Stam. Dr. Courtney is serving on an interim basis while the University undertakes a national search this year for a permanent director. While new to the role of head of the library, Dr. Courtney is a long-time member of the Drew Community, where he has been a member of the Theological School faculty since 1964, and is currently Professor of Philosophy of Religion. He brings to the Library skills developed while serving as Acting Dean of the Theological School during Spring 1987, as well as Dean of Student Life during the 1987-88 school year. He also served as the cross-country team coach from 1971 to 1974 and editor of the Drew Gateway from 1968 through 1977.

But most people would not want to browse a list of resources for which the only common denominator is electronic format. Perhaps they have become familiar with a particular full-text source such as http://www.umi.com/pqdauto and wish to access it directly. Accordingly, both our home page and Electronic Resources offer direct access to all our web subscriptions.

Community Day, 1990
Drew University Library and Madison Public Library joined in a display of the many formats in which a book may be read, heard, or accessed electronically. Children had a chance to view one of Marc Brown's popular Arthur books in CD-ROM format, while adults could read the Scarlet Letter from the internet or a rocking chair.
Looking on are Nancy Vernon of Madison Public Library and Deborah Strong, Charles Courtney, and Ray Semiraglio of Drew.
