Moreland Fellows Announced

The NCSU Libraries is pleased to announce the establishment of the Donald E. and Verdie S. Moreland Library Faculty Fellowship, founded to support the Libraries' recruitment and retention of the most scholarly, dedicated, and creative members of the library profession. The Moreland Library Faculty Fellowship provides funds to offset the cost of relocating, which gives the Libraries an edge in recruiting the best library professionals throughout the country. Through this generous gift, the Morelands take an important step to assure the best library service for NC State students and faculty today and in the future.

The NCSU Libraries is proud to introduce the first two Donald E. and Verdie S. Moreland Library Faculty Fellows: Kevin Schlesier (2005-2006) and Janelle Joseph (2006-2007). Schlesier, the exhibits and outreach librarian for Special Collections, came to the NCSU Libraries from the National Library of Medicine, where he received the National Library of Medicine Special Act Award in 2004. He has an M.A. in museum studies from George Washington University and a B.A. in history cum laude from SUNY-Binghamton.

Joseph is a member of the class of 2006-2008 NCSU Libraries Fellows. Joseph holds an M.A. in information resources and library science and a B.S. in agricultural economics from the University of Arizona. She is a graduate of the University of Arizona's Knowledge River, a center for the study of information resources and technology issues related to Native Americans and Hispanics. Joseph will work in Collection Management and on a project to plan and deliver services in the new Learning Commons.
