The Hawaiian and Pacific Collections will beundergoing some transitions in 2013. With the retirement of Hawaiian Collectioncurator Joan Hori, the following librarians will remain in the department:
Dore Minatodani, senior librarian, HawaiianCollection
Jodie Mattos, librarian, Hawaiian Collection
Stu Dawrs, senior librarian, Pacific Collection
Eleanor Kleiber, librarian, Pacific Collection
At the time of her retirement, Joan Hori wasalso serving as department head for the Hawaiian and Pacific Collections. StuDawrs will serve as department head for the next two years.
Regarding a replacement for Joan, thedepartment has submitted a proposal for the position, and we are awaiting thehiring and the arrival of a new University Librarian for further action. Due tobudget concerns and to preserve the incoming University Librarian's opportunityto allocate resources as he or she thinks best serves the institution, ourinterim University Librarian is deferring decisions on returning positions todepartments and hiring replacements.
Also in 2013, the Hawaiian and PacificCollections will be closed for part of the summer, due to an extensiveconstruction project that will affect much of Hamilton Library throughout thespring and summer of this year. We do not have exact dates yet, but we expectthat during some part of the summer, the Hawaiianand Pacific Collections will be closed for approximately 6 weeks. Duringthis period we will not have access to our collections. Please see http://library.manoa.hawaii.edu/about/air_handler.html for more information on theconstruction project. We will also post information specific to ourcollections on this site as it becomes available.
