C&RL News June 2010 318 Lisa Janicke Hinchliffe, associate profes- sor and coordinator for information literacy services at the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign, is the 73rd president of ACRL. “When I stood for election to this posi- tion, I spoke repeatedly of the important of advocacy, continuous professional learning, and organizational agility. Our venues for advocacy include not only local and institu- tional settings, but also higher education and governmental policy writ large. Continuous professional learning is consistently one of the areas that members value highly about ACRL, and we are all challenged individu- ally and collectively to continue to improve and expand our skills as the information, education, and research environments in which we work evolve. As a member-driven organization, ACRL seeks to be agile and nimble in responding to today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities. My goal is to offer expanded opportunities for members to pursue their interests in meaningful ways and to benefit from their personal connections with the association. “As I begin my presidential year, I am excited about the value of academic libraries project [which] began under Lori Goetsch’s leadership. I look forward to sharing the findings from ACRL’s work in this area and determining how we can continue to build the evidence base that documents our effec- tiveness and influence. As ACRL embarks on a process to create a new strategic plan in the coming year, the value project will inform our discussions about the future of ACRL and the profession and assist in identifying our future strategic priorities and initiatives. “It is an honor and privilege to serve as the President of ACRL. Even in these challenging times of economic and social change, I envi- sion a bold and exciting future for academic librarians as our institutions reinvent them- selves in today’s knowledge and information society. I look forward to collaborating with the Board, ACRL staff, and members as we work together to ensure that ACRL continues to develop and flourish as an organization.” As president, Hinchliffe will preside over the ACRL Board of Directors and ACRL Ex- ecutive Committee, and plan ACRL’s major program at the 2011 ALA Annual Conference.

(“Signs of success,” continued from page 302) L. Clements Library in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This collection documents the political, educational, agricultural, and social activi- ties of Norton Strange Townshend (1815– 95), his wife (educator Margaret Bailey Townshend), and several generations of related families in northern Ohio and else- where. Townshend had a long and multi- faceted career, which included antislavery activism, political involvement at the local level and in the U.S. House of Representa- tives, work on the Underground Railroad, a role as a medical inspector in the Civil War, and advocacy of scientific training for farm- ers. The latter earned him the nickname “the father of agricultural education in the United States” and allowed him to shape Ohio State University as a found and the institution’s first professor of agriculture. In addition to primary sources such as correspondence, diaries, published and unpublished writings, ephemera and photographs, the collection contains 34 letters from Townshend’s friend and mentor, Salmon P. Chase. The E.H. D uck wor th Photo graphic Ar- chive, containing more than 5,000 photos documenting Nigerian life in the decades just before independence, has been acquired by Northwestern University Library’s Melville J. Herskovits Library of African Studies. A British civil servant, Duckworth spent more than 20 years in Nigeria, where he was editor of and frequently a photographer for The Nigeria Magazine, which was founded to promote Nigerian national identity. His papers are now housed in the Bodleian Library of Common- wealth and African Studies at Rhodes House, Oxford, but the photographs—plus several hundred glass lantern slides and thousands of original negatives—have spent most of the past 40 years packed up in the travelling trunks in which Duckworth shipped them back to England. The archive complements other colonial African photo collections in the Herskovits Library—notably the Winterton Col- lection of East African Photographs—in that it records images intended for an African, rather than colonial, audience. june10b.indd 333 5/27/2010 9:15:50 AM
