NCSU Libraries Focus Online

Emily Lynema, the NCSU Libraries systems librarian for digital projects, has been named by Library Journal as one of the year’s "Movers & Shakers who are transforming libraries for the future," primarily for her key role in developing the Libraries' revolutionary Endeca catalog project. The article can be found on the Web at http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6423426.html. Library Journal quotes Roy Tennant, California Digital Library user services architect, as saying Lynema, "to her credit . . . took those opportunities and ran with them." Her work on the Endeca catalog has received national attention, along with that of her colleague, Andrew Pace, head of Information Technology at the Libraries.

It is the second year in a row that an NC State librarian has been recognized in this way. In 2006 Digital Technologies Development Librarian Tito Sierra made similar headlines for his work on the Endeca catalog, Quick Search, and other digital initiatives at the Libraries.

Lynema joined the Libraries in August 2005 as an NCSU Libraries Fellow, with a departmental assignment in Research and Information Services and a project assignment supporting the Systems department’s deployment of Endeca as the search interface for the library catalog.
