A good book

A good book Promoted and newly tenured faculty members were honored Nov. 28 with a reception and book plating in the Grand Gallery of Grainger Engineering Library. Of the 102 faculty members who received promotion or tenure, 76 selected books – either extant volumes or new additions to the collection – to be plated in their honor. Most faculty members chose books that were particularly important to their personal and professional development. The selected volumes are on display – along with faculty members’ explanations for selecting them – in the central corridor of the Main Library through Jan. 31. This was the eighth year for the program, which was sponsored by Provost Linda Katehi and Paula Kaufman, university librarian and dean of libraries. Below: Jennifer Hain Teper, conservation librarian and associate professor, with husband, Tom Teper, associate librarian for collections, display their choices for bookplates – “The Velveteen Rabbit” and “Hope for the Flowers.”
