Florence Barber Diary, 1902, 1901
No full textThis diary was formerly described as an unattributed diary and entitled: Diary (Portsmouth, Va.), 1901, but has now been attributed to Florence Barber of Norfolk, Virginia. In brief daily entries she talks about the weather, chores, and social life, trips to town, church, attending meetings, etc. In August she went to visit churches and schools in Georgia and Alabama, like Atlanta University and Spelman College, both historically black schools. She also mentions teaching music, attending educational meetings in Portsmouth and being elected president of the local YMCA. September 3 is the last entry in this diary.Research conducted by William and Mary students in 2011 pointed to Florence Barber as the owner and author of this diary. Their research also corrected that the diary was actually from 1902, not 1901 and that the author lived in Norfolk, not Portsmouth, Virginia. The diary was transcribed and made available online in 2012.For a more detailed description from staff as well as description and excerpts from the diary provided by the seller, please see digital item:

The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre : how did we get here and where are we going?
No full textPresented by the School of Library, Archival, and Information Studies (SLAIS) Colloquium Series, The Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, which is part of the UBC Library system, has an intriguing and ambitious mission relating to its physical geography and that of the province of BC. As part of a vast campus community, the Learning Centre is charged with a mandate to support academic excellence by providing diverse learning and teaching supports as well as inspiring people spaces. Dedicated to the prosperity of the province and to integrating community into our work here on campus, we also look outward, searching for opportunities to connect and support connections between UBC and communities across BC. How does all this fit within the traditional role of the academic library? Does it or is the Learning Centre an entirely different entity with simply an administrative connection to the UBC Library? Join Learning Centre Director Sandra Singh as she discusses the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, its mission and activities, and its place on both the University campus generally and within the context of the UBC Library. Webcast sponsored by the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre.
