The UWM Libraries hosted a celebration on March 27 recognizing UWM faculty and staff who have published books or recordings within the last two years. Provost Andrew Daire Chancellor congratulated the 62 authors and their cumulative 79 works, which were on display at the event held in the Golda Meir Library’s fourth floor Conference Center. Vice Provost for Research & Graduate School Dean Kristian O’Connor and Libraries Director Michael Doylen also spoke.
The event was co-sponsored by the Libraries and the UWM Office of Research.
The UWM Authors Collection was established in 1973 to bring together as complete a collection as possible of monographs and audio and visual recordings produced by UWM faculty and staff in order to better document the university’s research outcomes.
The collection now numbers more than 3,520 works. It is displayed in the Special Collections Reading Room of the Library. A selection of recently published books by UWM authors is available in the UWM Authors Browsing Collection located next to the Grind in the Daniel M. Soref Learning Commons.
