Director's Message
Do you recall the famous quote about Ginger Rogers? It goes something like this: “She did everything Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels.” In 2021 we all did our best to do everything that needed to be done, just with masks, vaccinations, and social distancing. The year began with limited library hours, predominantly online services and remote work. During the summer, campus reopened and by the start of fall semester, the library was open to everyone seven days a week, with 24/5 hours from Sunday through Friday. Students were studying in their favorite spots, new exhibits were on display, and our service desks were busy. Of course, not everything is really back to normal. Masks are required inside the library, use of some areas is limited, and social distancing is encouraged. It takes intentional effort to provide a safe environment. One way we did this was by prioritizing in-person student-centered activities while continuing to hold most meetings and events online or in a hybrid format. We learned that online and hybrid meetings, exhibits, and events can increase participation and eliminate geographical and mobility barriers. This is one positive lesson that we will take from the pandemic.
The Academic Library Services Year in Review highlights the various ways library team members responded to the needs of our community and took proactive steps to help. I am extremely proud of all our library employees. Faced with staff shortages due to budget cuts and a hiring freeze, pandemic-related service changes, new responsibilities, and new technologies, they responded with enthusiasm, flexibility, and teamwork. Loyal and bold Pirates, indeed!
The Year in Review is organized according to our strategic framework. Interwoven throughout each section are actions that support diversity, inclusion, and accessibility. While we still have much work to do, we have made progress. Examples include: the Civil Rights timeline, respectful metadata work with Laupus Health Sciences Library and G.R. Little Library at Elizabeth City State University, research for markers on the African-American Cultural Trail, textbook affordability programs, equipment loans, a new subscription to The HistoryMakers digital repository for the Black experience, expanded access to online books and streaming media, additions to the Ronnie Barnes African American Resource Center sustainable publishing programs, and involvement in DEIA initiatives at the state and regional levels.
Thank you for your support of Academic Library Services and ECU. I appreciate all that you do!
Jan S. Lewis, Library Director
Our Mission
Our library is the intellectual heart of East Carolina University. We connect people to information and empower their lifelong learning by developing robust collections, superior services, and people-friendly spaces.
We are leading efforts to make education more affordable!
Course-Adopted Textbooks
The Library partners with ECU Dowdy Student Stores to implement classroom texts in an electronic format. We’re constantly upgrading and adding to our collection of these e-texts. Each term we buy new e-textbooks to add to previously purchased e-textbooks. This means more e-textbooks overall.
Alternative Textbook Award Winners
Congratulations to the following faculty who were selected to participate in the Alternative Textbook Program for the 2020-2021 academic year.

Streaming Media
The library pays for hundreds of films to be available to them, so students do not need to pay to watch if required for their courses.
We can place physical books and media on reserve in the libraries, as well as provide faculty scans of chapters and articles to place in their course websites.
Interlibrary Loan & Circulation go above and beyond during COVID-19 pandemic
The Interlibrary Loan Borrowing service allows for obtaining materials that are not available from Joyner Library. The library Circulation Department is responsible for the circulation of library materials.
The pandemic created new obstacles for libraries. Circulation and other departments adjusted with some alternate ways to distribute content and materials, including mailing books to faculty, staff and students.
"These two departments represent an essential foundation in the library’s infrastructure. Without their continued operation, the library would essentially be forced to shut down entirely. I’m so proud of this group of employees who continue to show up, go the extra mile and then go even further in order for the library to meet its mission." -Mark Sanders, Assistant Director for Public Services

Supporting our Students
New Equipment
Offering equipment to students is an integral part of library services. Being able to access quality materials for free through the library helps students succeed and encourages creativity and experimentation. The library offers equipment including: calculators, digital and video cameras, zoom lenses, projectors, hotspots, laptops, Blu-Ray players, tripods, microphones, portable sound systems, and more!
One Button Studio
The One Button Studio allows students to record high-quality videos--regardless of their experience level--by pressing a single button. Mounted lights, a microphone, a camera, and a green screen are all provided for them at the push of a button!
Unique library spaces & study opportunities
While navigating through the pandemic, an emphasis was put on creating social distance with redistributed furniture and seating options. We strive to support students and their need for clean, quiet and effective spaces within the library, especially during exam and peak times.
Additionally, the library has more than 90 study rooms and numerous study spaces available.
Students can reserve rooms via QR codes and also online.
Sustainable Scholarship
ECU Libraries is committed to making access to research more sustainable, affordable, transparent, and open. We are driven by a belief in shared and universal access to knowledge that is underpinned by an environment of open scholarship and shared creativity. We are driven by a belief in shared and universal access to knowledge that is underpinned by an environment of open scholarship and shared creativity.
This year ECU Libraries reduced spending with Elsevier, the largest publisher of scholarly journals in the world. We reduced expenditures with Elsevier in order to repurpose funds to further our commitment to sustainable scholarship. ECU Libraries redirected funds to information vendors that emphasize open access, transparency in pricing, and financially viable business models and by investing in systems that foster open scholarship and information sharing. These efforts will allow the Libraries to build a more tailored collection from diverse vendors that better meets the needs of the university and aligns with its mission.
OpenUNC website increases access to research
In a unique way of encompassing all institutions in the UNC System, the OpenUNC website highlights and advances open research practices, open access publication methods, open dissemination of research outputs, and open educational resources. The website was created and is maintained by members of the University Library Advisory Council with the goal of helping open UNC research to the world. Explore the areas below to learn more.
“Universal access to knowledge in an environment of open scholarship and shared creativity supports UNC’s mission to discover, create, transmit, and apply knowledge to address the needs of individuals and society. We hope that OpenUNC will facilitate discovery and access to knowledge produced at our institutions and that it can promote the robust adoption of open research and publishing practices.” -Jan Lewis
The site was designed by Michael Tucker, webmaster of ECU’s main campus library, and content was identified by Lewis, ECU Director of Academic Library Services and past ULAC chair.
Ensuring access through e-books
We urge professors to try the ECU e-book portal to look for e-books for classes. Whenever possible, we purchase e-books with no printing or downloading restrictions for unlimited users.
Library partnerships cover publication costs for researchers
As part of our commitment, we have established partnerships with several publishers, including Annual Reviews, Cambridge University Press, Company of Biologists, Sage, and most recently the Public Library of Science, in order to support open access publishing by ECU faculty and students. Currently, ECU researchers have access to these transformative agreements, institutional memberships, and/or a separate library fund for open access publishing.
Dr. Keith Keene was the first faculty member to use the ALS Public Library of Science account. He is an associate professor of biology and director of the Brody School of Medicine Center for Health Disparities.
New Resources & Acquisitions
Our Acquisitions and E-Resources personnel are responsible for purchasing and maintaining access to books, e-books, videos, journals, databases, and other materials for use in teaching and research. Thanks to Academic Affairs, we were able to acquire new modules in the Sage Research Methods database and new e-books from Elsevier, available on ScienceDirect.
The library added 65,000 additional e-books available to ECU users as a result of innovative Evidence-Based Acquisition programs with Wiley and Oxford University Press.
Another exciting new acquisition is HistoryMakers, a digital archive of African American video oral histories.
Faculty Author Book Awards
Each year, Academic Library Services and Academic Affairs recognize faculty and other researchers in the division who have contributed to the prestige of East Carolina University through the creation and dissemination of scholarly monographs.
The most recent Faculty Author Book Awards ceremony, honoring 77 authors and 83 publications from the 2019-2020 and 2020-21 academic years, served as a return to in-person recognition.

University archivist Alston Cobourn curated a Campus Reactions and Responses to 9/11 exhibit, providing an opportunity to reflect on the reactions of the East Carolina community as documented in campus media.
As our nation remembered the 20th anniversary, Cobourn's exhibit provided a glimpse of how campus healed and surged forward together.
September 11, 2001: The Day That Changed the World
This exhibition, provided by the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, recounted the events of Sept. 11, 2001, through the personal stories of those who witnessed and survived the attacks. exhibition included archival photographs and images of artifacts from the Museum’s permanent collection. It reflected the core pillars of commemoration, education, and inspiration. (Curated by the 9/11 Memorial & Museum and sponsored by the Friends of Joyner Library)
Messages of Unity: An Interactive Exhibition Promoting Peace & Solidarity
ECU students, many who have no memory of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, were invited to add messages inspiring hope, unity, and compassion to the library’s interactive exhibition space. As we marked the passage of two decades since 9/11, and reflect on the current turmoil, struggles, and world events that continue to shape our lives, it feels more important than ever to derive strength through solidarity.

The library hosted a lecture with a former FBI Special Agent addressing how the FBI changed after Sept. 11, 2001. The program was sponsored by Joyner Library, the Whichard Professorship in the Humanities, and the Center for Leadership & Civic Engagement.
Hands on History
Students shape our collective memories through the use of University Archives
“Memoirs to America” - an exhibition by Bryan Keith Barrett
Bryan Keith Barrett, a senior majoring in art with a concentration in graphic design, curated “Memoirs to America,” which was influenced by ECU student essays written 24 hours after the 9/11 attacks. He used big, bold typography to showcase the words of the essays on six large-format posters. While Barrett was a toddler on 9/11, his personal family experiences and ties to 9/11 made him want to be part of the project at ECU.
"My hope for this exhibit is to honor the students that wrote these essays and the many people who lost their lives that day,” Barrett said.
ECU Digital Collections: Student Reactions
Our Manuscript Collection includes essays collected by Dr. Karin Zipf following Sept. 11, 2001. On 9/12/01, Dr. Zipf asked her students to record their feelings about the events of the previous day. Those essays provide insight into the reactions of students who lived that experience.
Pictured: Bryan Keith Barrett and others look at pieces of Barrett's “Memoirs to America” exhibit.

African American Cultural Trail
ECU Libraries were proud to be part of the Oct. 27 launch of the new African American Cultural Trail of Greenville-Pitt County.
Building upon our library's previous project, "Beyond Bricks and Mortar," library employees Jennifer Daugherty and Heather White served on the city's steering committee. Working with community members, they were instrumental in the creation and curation of the project connecting archival images and content from ECU's Special Collections to each cultural trail stop.
“This is a living, breathing project to share the history of downtown community for generations now and those to come.” - Pitt County Commissioner Ann Floyd Huggins
Pictured: Attendees listen to public speakers at Sycamore Hill Gateway Plaza during the trail's launch celebration.
Respectful Metadata Group
Our library recognizes the power of language as it is used in metadata, which are descriptions that enable our users to find and select materials. Because this metadata has been created over the course of many decades and influenced by systemic oppression, it may contain outdated or harmful language that is insufficient to meet the needs of today’s users, especially in regards to descriptions of marginalized identities. We are evaluating our metadata for historical accuracy and completeness, and working to change and challenge language that is racist and derogatory. Ultimately, our library aims to do so respectfully and in support of our mission to be a welcoming space for all.
Social Justice Project
The Special Collections Division recognized the importance of documenting the social justice movement and activities that took place in Greenville in the wake of the murder of George Floyd and protests that followed. Archivists in the department began capturing stories, videos, and photographs for the historical record.
The next phase of the project is to create an online portal for community members to submit their own stories and photos. The Division also plans to undertake special archival training that emphasizes how to work on trauma-based collecting initiatives to be sensitive to those involved.
Civil Rights Timeline
Patrick Cash used archival sources to create an ECU civil rights timeline. It's places this history within the context of what was simultaneously happening across the state and nation. Cash is an assistant university archivist in Special Collections.
Ya'll Means All
In Our Library – Y’all Does Mean All! Thank you to all of our library employees who push for equity and inclusion of all, every day.
Stewardship in Action
The Stewardship Committee promotes the use of community service leave by ALS employees through actions such as coordinating with the ECU Volunteer and Service-Learning Center and student groups, scheduling ALS community service events at opportune times, scheduling events in conjunction with ECU’s Days of Service, and establishing relationships with selected community groups that provide ongoing and/or regularly recurring service opportunities.
The committee raises awareness and participates in ECU Sustainability and green initiatives.
17th Annual Academic Library Services
Paraprofessional Conference
This year's theme addressed Technology & Cyber Awareness
The annual Paraprofessional Conference was a multi-day series of presentations and sessions RELATED TO THE THEME. Presenters came from a wide array of institutions. The goal of the conference was to provide training and information that would allow paraprofessionals to bring constructive change to their home libraries.
Connecting through STEM
A new library ENC STEM website was created - https://lib.ecu.edu/ENCSTEM -allowing for easy, one-stop searching for science resources by category. Users described the site as easy to navigate and a great resource for student, local and homeschool teachers.
Partner Institutions
“We think this has the potential to continue to grow and will serve as a wonderful resource in the classroom as well as an opportunity to connect with the community.” -Jennifer Stalls, Pitt County Schools
This project is funded by a 2020-2021 Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). Project PI - Mark Sanders, Assistant Director for Public Services.
ECU: Learn at home kits
In eastern North Carolina, there are counties where up to 43% of households do not have internet access.
In Pitt county, 17% of households do not have internet access and where broadband exists, the majority of counties in ENC have the lowest speed available (< 25 Mpbs). This problem was amplified in March 2020 when the university was forced to pivot to online learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
To help support our students most impacted, Academic Library Services was awarded an LSTA grant to purchase equipment to support the immediate needs that arose from the shift to online learning. Using the funds, we assembled five kits that contained a wireless hotspot, a webcam, a tripod for the webcam and a small whiteboard. We were able to provide two hotspots, portable printers, mobile scanners and art tablets for individual circulation. The equipment is very popular, and helped support students during this stressful time.
“I don't even want to imagine now that I have been using this a couple of months! I would not have done a good job on the classes and doing research, not to mention the added stress on top of the COVID stress.” - ECU Student
This grant was made possible by funding from the federal Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) as administered by the State Library of North Carolina, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources (IMLS grant number LS-246551-OLS-20). Project PI - Amanda McLellan, Assistant Director for Discovery & Technology Services.
Digitizing ECU Print Theses
Academic Library Services initiated a project to digitize print theses published by ECU students.
We want to make theses searchable and easily located online, allowing the full breadth and scope of student scholarship produced at ECU to be more easily discovered and used.
“We get requests from researchers on campus and all over the world who wish to access these papers as part of their current research projects," -Jeanne Hoover, head of Scholarly Communication and project team lead.
This project is funded by a 2021-2022 Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA). Project PI - Jeanne Hoover - Head of Service, Scholarly Communication.
The Colonel Richard M. and Betty Debnam Hunt Dedication
As part of East Carolina University’s 2021 Homecoming festivities, the library dedicated The Colonel Richard M. and Betty Debnam Hunt Teaching Resources Center.
Betty Debnam Hunt was involved with ECU, its main campus library, and the Teaching Resources Center for many years. During her lifetime, she funded endowments to support family literacy, an instruction room, and technology in the TRC. She recognized the importance of professional development at all levels. Her planned gift included funds for the TRC to provide professional development opportunities for media specialists, librarians, and students in eastern North Carolina and beyond. The gift can also be used to provide top tier technology for the TRC and other resources to support its mission, “To facilitate teaching and learning initiatives by providing resources and services to educators at all levels.” The library is proud to dedicate the TRC in honor of Hunt and her late husband Colonel Richard M. Hunt. Col. Hunt served as a Marine Corps aviator in World War II, fighter pilot during the Korean War, and head of a pioneering helicopter unit during the Vietnam War.
“I want to be remembered as an educator. One who brought powerful content to children.” - Betty Debnam Hunt
Betty Debnam Hunt, a teacher turned journalist, created and edited the nationally syndicated educational newspaper for kids, The Mini Page, for 37 years. She strongly believed The Mini Page gave newspapers a chance to step into the field of elementary education and that elementary education could start at any age.
