Dear Ruth,

When Classics & World Religions discovered what an asset the art library/librarian were to their efforts, they began to invite me into their classrooms at least twice a semester. They use the art library heavily, I provide a great deal of reference, and also course reserves (which always leads to some kind of discussion at the service desk). It started with classical archaeology, and has since grown to include other courses.

It was after an instruction session in their classroom that I received the nicest compliment of my working life; the student approached me and said, “If I weren’t already committed to this degree, I’d be doing what you are doing.” I told him that he could do both.

I am so glad that you brought this up!

Best,

Gary
