In archives and libraries \u201cthe stacks\u201d refers to the many resources held by a repository for students and researchers to use. Librarians, archivists, academic tutors, and others work hard to preserve and make these resources and collections accessible and to create a welcoming environment for students and researchers. As the year progresses,\u00a0<\/em>A Look Behind the Stacks\u00a0continues highlighting the people and work behind the UB RLB Library and the Special Collections & Archives. Follow our blog to\u00a0<\/em>Meet the Library\u00a0and to learn more about our library work behind the stacks!<\/em><\/p>\n

We\u2019re excited to introduce Delores Redman, who connects patrons with the resources they need through Inter-Campus Delivery and Book & Document Delivery services in Access Services of the RLB Library! We hope you enjoy learning about Delores in her own words in her new blog post:<\/em><\/p>\n

Name: <\/strong>Delores Redman, Intercampus\/ILL Lending Delivery Staff-member in Access Services<\/p>\n

Role in the Library:<\/strong>
\nI process resources for the UB community to access from the RLB Library. This includes intercampus and Interlibrary Loan (ILL) books and articles coming in for UB patrons to borrow, and articles and books going out to other university campuses and libraries in Maryland and all over the world for others to borrow.<\/p>\n

What is ILL and How Does It Work?<\/strong>\u00a0 When book requests come in from other libraries through our software, I identify whether the book is available in the stacks, and if so, send the item out to the requesting library. I do the same for the USM system books. If it\u2019s an article or book chapter request, it can get scanned and sent right to the receiving library. While we\u2019re working in the teleworking world during this Pandemic, we\u2019re concentrating on requests we can process in the virtual environment so our patrons can continue getting resources they need. We will have limited target Library Access dates at the RLB Library soon to provide the UB community resources from our physical collection.<\/p>\n

Educational Background:<\/strong> I graduated from Community College of Baltimore with an AA degree and finished my Bachelor of Arts Degree here at University of Baltimore in Interdisciplinary Studies.<\/p>\n

Past Experience:<\/strong> \u00a0<\/em>I worked at CCB\u2019s Library while attending there as a student for 3 years, then when I came to UB, I worked here as a student worker in the Library for 2 years from 1994-1996, then as a Contractual worker for 4 years from 1996-2000, and then as a full-time worker starting in 2000. I\u2019ve been at UB really for 26 years, 20 years as a full-time worker. I\u2019ve been at every level of status at UB!<\/p>\n

My most passionate hobby:<\/strong> I am a Musical theatre fan! I was in a high school musical as a junior and pretty much found that I loved it. I returned as a senior and did the two final school musicals.\u00a0I continued doing Musical theatre, really heavy into it at Essex Community College, academic and summer theatre. I also did some Dinner Theatre. I ushered at the now (defunct) Morris Mechanic theatre for 12 years while working and going to school at UB, and house-managed at the Hippodrome theatre for 4 years.<\/p>\n

Favorite Experience in the Library:<\/strong> \u00a0<\/em>I enjoy working with students and helping them to get the resources (books and articles) they need. The overwhelming majority are very thankful that they can get what they need delivered right to their home Library or in their email. I like the diversity here at the school. You get to meet so many people from all over and it contributes to your growth, so you\u2019re not stuck in your own \u201cbubble.\u201d\u00a0UB is a very approachable place!<\/p>\n
