February 2, 2000 NEWS WESTERN 1 CAROLINIAN 3 1 z 0 3 #74a Reading Material on your Lear Jet Flight over Turkey #74b Reading Material When You're Crash-Landed in a Turkish Prison by Dawn N. Pasley Asst. News Editor Soon, the man who brought Hunter Library through more than two decades of challenges and change will be leaving. Bill Kirwan, who has been University Librarian for 23 years, is retiring. Kirwan came to WCU in 1977 from a position as director of a West Virginia library. When he arrived in Cullowhee, Hunter Library measured slightly more than 50,000 square feet. With all its additions since then, it has reached a total of over 100,000 square feet. As University Librarian, Kirwan has directed library development projects that have made Hunter Library what it is today. When asked about his duties, Kirwan responded, "My job is to manage the library so that it fulfills its educational purpose, and to keep that educational purpose in the forefront of the library and its users." In 1989, when a fire broke out in the Media Center portion of the library, burning the building and covering the reference section with soot, Kirwan kept his purposes in mind, and the library was open again in only a few weeks. "That was very intensive on his part; he was having to take care of a lot of different things," said George Frizzell, head of Special Collections at the library. Another challenge that Kirwan has had to face in the recent past is the advent of the electronic age. Bill Kirwan "The library, quite frankly, was one of the first organizations to experience the effects of the digital revolution," stated Kirwan. "It hasn't changed our basic mission, but it has changed how we carry out that mission." With more and more library resources available online, one might think that fewer students would visit the library itself. According to Kirwan, when WCU put Internet connections in the residence halls and instituted its computer requirement for incoming freshmen, the number of inquiries at the reference desk dropped, but gradually increased again. "At first, we thought things were changing, but this has not continued," said Kirwan. Library employees seem full of praise for Kirwan. "He's a master administrator, and that is what I appreciate about him. He's also a very kind man," said Becky Kornegay, acting head of public services. "All of us feel very strongly that he does a great job," stated Lorna Dorr, reference librarian. "He's very fair and very open to listen to any of us." All in all, Kirwan is very appreciative. "I have been very fortunate to work with good people in this library and in Academic Affairs. The faculty here and the others in the administrative offices have been, on the whole, very cooperative, so that's been very enjoyable."
