Meet: Dean Hargett, State Historical Society of MissouriI moved with my family to Columbia in 1996 so my wife and I could attend graduate school. My daughter was born in 1999. I received my library degree in 2000 after four years of part-time school at the University of Missouri. After starting as a student employee at the State Historical Society in the fall of 1996, I joined the full-time staff in May 1997 working in the Newspaper Library. I moved into the acquisition librarian position in 1999. My job is basically: Get New Stuff. That could be accepting gifts of materials of all kinds, buying new books from university presses and hunting down obscure, short-run titles or other items or Missouri state government documents. I am also responsible for finding periodicals and serials. While the society concentrates on history-based sources, the collection has journals from many of the huge variety of organizations in Missouri; medical societies, environmental groups, accountants etc. |
