Congressman Harry Mitchell and his staff have been working with the ASU Libraries to preserve the history of Mitchell’s work in the US House of Representatives. In early 2011 University Archivist Rob Spindler worked with the Mitchell staff to acquire nineteen boxes of archives from the Scottsdale and Washington DC offices. The materials include electronic and paper correspondence, reports, photographs and memorabilia documenting Mitchell’s service from 2007-2011.
Spindler also worked with Mitchell Director of Administration Chris Quigley and The Library Channel staff to organize an oral history project, in which Mitchell and six key staff were interviewed by ASU Professor Emeritus David Berman. “We knew that staff interviews would be very helpful in developing a deeper and more useful historical record of Congressman Mitchell’s work, and The Library Channel had the skills and facilities available to help us do just that” said Spindler. Three of those interviews were taped in the historic Senator Carl Hayden Office in Hayden Library.
On Thursday April 19th Harry Mitchell’s career and the gift of his papers were celebrated in a special reception for the congressman, his family, his staff and close friends. Associate University Librarian Phil Konomos read a congratulatory letter from President Crow at the reception. Mitchell is the eleventh member of Congress to donate his papers to the Arizona Collection at ASU Libraries.

Event: Labriola Center American Indian National Book Award and 19th Anniversary Reception
Date/Time: Monday April 16, 12 Noon
Location: Labriola Center, Hayden Library, Room 209, Tempe campus
Awardee: Dr. Cathleen Cahill, assistant professor of history at the University of New Mexico, is the winner of the 4th Labriola Center American Indian National Book Award for her 2011 book Federal Fathers and Mothers: A Social History of the United States Indian Service, 1869-1933, published by the University of North Carolina Press. Dr. Cahill will be present at the reception to receive the award and discuss her book.
About the Labriola Center: Dedicated in 1993, the Labriola National American Indian Data Center in the Arizona State University (ASU) Libraries is one of the only repositories within a public university library devoted to American Indian collections. The Labriola Center holds both primary and secondary sources on American Indians across North America. The Center’s primary purpose is to promote a better understanding of American Indian language, culture, social, political and economic issues. The Labriola National American Indian Data Center has been endowed by Frank and Mary Labriola whose wish has been that “the Labriola Center be a source of education and pride for all Native Americans.”
About the Labriola Center American Indian National Book Awards: Arizona State University is committed to American Indian scholarship and offers several academic programs led by noted American Indian faculty including a Bachelors of Science degree in American Indian Studies, an Indigenous Teacher Preparation Program, an American Indian nursing program, and the Indian Legal Program. Books submitted for consideration for the Labriola Center American Indian National Book Award cross multiple disciplines or fields of study, are relevant to contemporary North American Indian communities, and focus on modern tribal studies, modern biographies, tribal governments or federal Indian policy.
Previous winners of the Labriola Center American Indian National Book Award are:
2008 Daniel Cobb, inaugural winner for his book Native Activism in Cold War America: The Struggle for Sovereignty
2009 Paul Rosier, Associate Professor of History at Villanova for Serving Their Country: American Indian Politics and Patriotism in the Twentieth Century
2010 Malinda Lowry, Assistant Professor of History at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for Race, Identity , and the Making of a Nation: Lumbee Indians in the Jim Crow South
The Library Channel is pleased to present the ninth installment of The Simon Ortiz and Labriola Center Lecture on Indigenous Land, Culture, and Community with Redefining Indigenous Perspectives Through Art and Dialogue. Sculptor Bob Haozous sets the stage with a discussion of his family, and then shares his motivations, descriptions, and circumstances surrounding the creation of many of his most renowned pieces. Mr. Haozous’ talk is wonderfully illustrated with power point slides of his work.
Bob Haozous is one of the most important Native sculptors of the Native American Fine Art Movement. His innovation and experimentation with materials push the boundaries of “Indian” art – the boundaries that his father, Allan Houser, helped to define. He is best known for his monumental cut steel pieces which often deal with poignant topical issues. He approaches these issues with a bit of a bite and a good dose of humor. His injection of humor allows the serious issues to be more palatable and to have a universal presence.

We encourage student book enthusiasts to look into the Libraries web page for the announcement of the beginning of the next contest.

Discover… Hadar, Ethiopia and Mossel Bay, South Africa through photographs from the institute’s field research
Hear… about the future of human origins research at a symposium April 27, Neeb Hall, ASU Tempe campus.
The ASU Libraries will soon be launching a program to evaluate our services, and we hope you will help us! A sampling of 6,000 people at ASU were randomly selected to complete the web survey (called LibQUAL Triads) to assess how the ASU Libraries are meeting your needs. The survey will be open for recipients to respond to between March 28 and April 13. The libraries will use the feedback we receive to make changes in services.
If you are one if the 6,000 identified, please consider investing 5-8 minutes of your time to fill out this web-based survey. Your participation in this study is completely voluntary, and you must be 18 years of age or older to participate. Everyone who takes it will remain anonymous. At the end of the survey, participants will be given an option to enter to win one of two 16GB Nook™ Tablets.
Our Interlibrary Loan and Documentary Delivery service provides access to all of ASU Libraries’ holdings and beyond. Articles that are only in print can be scanned and sent to your email. A book at Fletcher Library at the West campus can be sent to Hayden for pick up so you don’t have to drive there. If ASU Libraries doesn’t own the item, we will get it for you through another source. Let us do the work of finding it for you! Did we mention that we can also ship items directly to on-line students? Of course this is all free for students, faculty and staff. And it’s FAST!
The Lower Level of Hayden Library, which houses newspapers, magazines, journals, videos, microforms, and the Curriculum, ESL Reader, East Asian, and Southeast Asian Collections, will be closed to all users from May 5 through May 20 for areas of this floor to be repaired and upgraded.
