2003 Miracle Yearbook

Students know the sounds ofthe library: the hum ofthe photocopy machines,the clatter ofcomputer keyboards,and the rattling ofthe doors opening and closing. Behind the scenes were dozens ofemployees who knew those sounds so well that they didn't even notice them. Greg Martin,Curriculum Materials Center Librarian,explained his motivation for working at the library in terms ofimpact:"I wanted to do what I could to help train students entering the teaching profession. I believe teaching is one ofthe most importantjobs there is." Dianne Gottwals, who worked in the Media Research Center, noted that the best part of herjob was working with the students."They're great!" she said. The students who worked at the library enjoyed getting to know the faculty and staff as well."My favorite part about the library was the people I work with. The staff was awesome,and they took the time to get to know the student workers. I appreciated that about them," Jessica Hunt said. Libby Shortt agreed that the people made her like working at the library:"I enjoyed getting to know other students on campus who work at the library. I liked going to work because the people made it fun." Employees appreciated the quiet atmosphere(once they become used to the humming,clattering, and rattling)."My favorite part of working at the library was the quiet atmosphere. I could just go and relax after a long day ofclasses and not have to worry about uptight bosses or moody co-workers," Janine Helmick admitted. Andrew Clauson summed up thejob:"I enjoyed the atmosphere. Students were working; others were reading. The staff also brought an attitude ofseriousness and study, but often overcame it with lighthearted joking and friendliness." With many Ohio Link books ready to be checked out, Jennifer Myers goes through the lists, making sure everyone has been notified that books are in.
