Library Staff, administration, circa 1975

This image shows three members of the staff at the first Belk Library in the 1970s. Librarian Richard Barker can be seen standing next to Al Corum, dean of Learning Resources. An unidentified woman is seen sitting at a desk. Barker was university librarian from 1973 until 1991, and Corum served as dean of Learning Resources from 1970 until 1984. The stacks can be seen in the background. The Belk Library was completed in 1968 and opened in 1969. It served as the main campus library until 2005, when it was replaced by the newly constructed Belk Library and Information Commons. It is now known as the Library Classroom Building.
