Nevenka's Curriculum Vitae

Job Description:
As Head of the Engineering & Physical Sciences Library (EPSL) I work daily with a team of five librarians, six library technicians, a graduate assistant and 20+ students. We provide information services primarily to the students, faculty, researchers, and staff from the College of Computer, Mathematical, & Physical Sciences and the School of Engineering.

Students and faculty from the other colleges on campus also use the Engineering & Physical Sciences Library, as do members of the general public. An average of 20,000 customers visit EPSL each month.

Most of EPSL’s monograph and print journal volumes total more than 260,000 and are housed in the building. The reference collection consists of about 13,000 volumes. Although current print journal subscriptions declined over the years (it totals over 700), the number of current electronic journals subscriptions increased. Some 100,000 volumes of little used monographs and journals have been transferred to an off campus storage facility. They are retrieved within 24 to 48 hours upon request. EPSL is currently filled to 85% capacity. In addition to printed books and journals, electronic editions of many titles are also available. A selected microfilm collection also supports the printed journal collection. The EPSL Technical Reports Center has over two million items, mainly on microfiche. It houses one of the most complete collections of National Aeronautics and Space Administration documents on the East Coast. National Institute of Standards and Technology publications, Rand Corporation, US Air Force, Department of Energy, Environmental Protection Agency and North Atlantic Treaty Organization documents are among the many domestic and foreign reports available.
