Library Development: NC State Community Memorials

Whenever the NCSU Libraries learns of the loss of an NC State student, faculty, or staff member, a special memorial is prepared. Librarians purchase a title reflecting the academic or personal interests of the deceased individual, mark it with a bookplate in his or her memory, and include the person’s name in the catalog record. In this way, the NC State community member is permanently honored and remembered in the Libraries’ collections and the intellectual life of the campus. Between August and October 2006, the Libraries commemorated the following individuals:

Robert (Rob) Earle Beasley Jr.

Carol Erskine Caldwell
