The Friends of the University of Colorado Libraries will hold its annual Information Day at Norlin Library on the CU-Boulder campus Wednesday, January 10, from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will be in the Center for British and Irish Studies on the fifth floor of the library. Information Day is free and open to the public and no reservations are required.

 

Jim Williams, dean of the CU Libraries, and Claudine Garby, president of the Friends, will welcome participants. Attendees will view "Going to Extremes: Polar Exploration," an exhibit prepared by the Special Collections department in recognition of the 2007 International Polar Year. Guests also are invited to visit a "smart" classroom where reference librarians will provide computer training.

 

At noon, guests will return to the Center for British and Irish Studies for a light, catered lunch.

 

Following lunch, David Hays, CU Libraries archivist, will speak on the World War II U.S. Navy Japanese/Oriental Language School Archival Project. The project's first archival papers were received in 1992 with the acquisition of materials collected by Capt. Roger Pineau USNR and William Hudson. This information on graduates of the U.S. Navy Japanese/Oriental Language School at CU-Boulder from 1942 to 1946 was collected for inclusion in the official World War II naval history record.

 

The Japanese/Oriental Language School Archival Project has continued to acquire papers, photographs, correspondence and records in the form of major collections and small manuscripts. These papers document the involvement of the school's graduates in World War II activities such as code breaking, translation and intelligence; postwar teaching of Japanese language and culture in higher education; and reconciliation projects with Japan. The ever-growing archive is available for use by scholars in Japanese history; World War II history, diplomacy and foreign affairs; and East Asian language and culture.

 

The purpose of Information Day is to inform citizens that Norlin Library is accessible to them and to familiarize people with how to use the library, the largest facility of its kind in the Rocky Mountain area.

 

The event is co-sponsored by the Daily Camera newspaper. Pay parking is
available in the Euclid Avenue AutoPark near Broadway.

Mr. Kerr is a Boulder attorney. Outside his practice, Mr. Kerr’s main interest is

fiction writing. “Wrongful Death”, his second novel, “a stunning, inspiring read, strong

and very moving” (Pubisher’s Weekly), draws on his experience litigating wrongful death cases in Colorado and on a recent year in Bosnia and The Hague. This book was selected by the Chicago Tribune for Twelve Best Mysteries of 2002.

“Harmful Intent,” a medical thriller, was published in 2000; that year he was a

finalist for the Colorado Book Award for Fiction. Baine Kerr has published a book of

short stories titled “Jumping-Off Place.” He was one of 100 authors selected by the

National Endowment for the Arts for a 1983 fellowship in fiction, and has been

anthologized in Best American Short Stories, the University Press of Colorado, and

elsewhere.

The presentation, the first of several CU-Boulder events commemorating what would have been Glenn Miller's 100th birthday, will feature Norman Leyden relating anecdotes about the big band era with an introduction by Alan Cass, director of the Glenn Miller Archives.

 

Leyden, an early associate of Glenn Miller, has conducted and arranged for artists including Mitch Miller, Gordon MacRae, Ezio Pinza, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Arthur Godfrey and Sarah Vaughn. He is a graduate of Yale University and holds master's and doctoral degrees from Columbia University.

 

Leyden began his professional career as a college student playing bass clarinet with the New Haven Symphony. During five years of military service he served as an arranger with the Glenn Miller Army/Air Force Band in England and France. He became chief arranger when Tex Beneke reorganized the Glenn Miller Orchestra in 1946.

Leyden advises musical groups around the world on the big band sound and is much in demand in both classical and popular fields of music. He has guest conducted more than 40 American symphony orchestras as well as many orchestras in Europe.
