Reference Librarian Kathi Fountain Joins WSU
In December we bid a reluctant farewell to Kathi Fountain, who accepted a position as a reference librarian at Washington State University, Vancouver. Kathi joined the Reference Department at Meriam Library in 1999 as the subject liaison to the Political Science and Social Work departments. She was also our resident expert on law and public policy. Kathi helped create, and taught, the Research Skills in Politics, Law and Criminal Justice class required for Political Science majors. We will miss Kathi's expertise, enthusiasm, and infectious laugh.
Colleen Power has been hired to assume some of Kathi's former responsibilities this semester. She will provide instruction for political science, social work, and law classes, as well as oversee collection development in those areas. Colleen is no stranger to Meriam Library, having worked here from 1978 until her retirement in 2005 when she received the rank of Librarian Emerita. Colleen joined the part-time librarian pool in 2005. We are fortunate to have her back.
