STUDENT FEATURE - STEPHON BOYKIN, '20
History and African and African American Studies double-major, Stephon Boykin, '20, was featured in a recent newsletter from the Library of Congress. This summer, Boykin served as the HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) Library Alliance Summer Intern in which he worked on a variety of projects across Preservation Divisions.
The newsletter noted Boykin's summer project related to The Negro Travelers' Green Books in the Library's holdings:

"Stephon's review of WorldCat established that two of the editions held by the Library of Congress (1946 and 1953 ) are the only known copies. These two unique editions have been put into the PRD (Preservation Reformatting Division) digitization queue and our catalog records have been updated to include a link to the Green Books that have previously been digitized by the Schomburg Center of the New York Public Library."

Grandson Traces Thomas Mann’s 1938 Lecture Series. The European Division is co-sponsoring with the Goethe Institute of Washingtonhttps://www.goethe.de/ins/us/en/sta/wsh/ueb.html a lecture by Professor Frido Mannhttps://www.vatmh.org/en/eventreader/lecture-democracy-will-win-an-evening-with-frido-mann.html, the grandson of Thomas Mann, the German writer and 1929 Nobel Prize laureate. Thomas Mann was the first formally appointed curator of German-language collections at LC, a position he held for three years, beginning in 1942. Frido Mann, who will speak on October 1 at 5:00 p.m. in LJ-119, is tracing his famous grandfather’s lecture circuit of 1938https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?cc=mqr;c=mqr;c=mqrarchive;idno=act2080.0051.419;g=mqrg;rgn=main;view=text;xc=1. He will speak about the challenges of democracy, as his grandfather did at that time, having fled Germany five years before.

Come One, Come All, to Enjoy the Newly Online Circus Posters. Prepare to be amazed by the daring feats and dazzling sights portrayed in more than 450 circus postershttps://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=Circus+posters+pos&fa=displayed%3Aanywhere&sp=1&st=gallery from the Prints & Photographs Division, most of which are now online in color for the first time. You’ll find talented acrobats and clowns, animal acts, spectacular pageants, and an “audacious dip of death” performance with an automobile. Look closely, and you’ll notice that vertical lines appear between sections of the largest posters. Those multi-sheet advertisements were so big that they had to be scanned in sections, followed by stitching as many as twenty separate fileshttps://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2019636326/ into a consolidated image. A skillfully choreographed collaboration among digital library specialists, catalogers, and reference librarians prepared this visual feast in response to user demand for pictures of the greatest show on earth.

NAVCC’s Twitter Feed Goes Live. On July 29, National Audio-Visual Conservation Center (NAVCC) launched a new Twitter feed, @LOC_AV, which provides news, resources, and entertaining content about the Library’s moving image and sound recording collections and their preservation.

IFP endeavors to enrich all internship experiences. This week marks the end of the internships “summer surge”—the period between June and August when a wave of college students flow into the Library to work on short-term projects. You may be aware of this phenomenon, even if your office hasn’t hosted an intern. While the projects are invaluable to the Library, IFP ensures that each internship includes educationally enriching activities that benefit the interns. Internships are guided learning experiences related to the intern’s professional or academic interests led by Library staff. This summer IFP led five career-building sessions, including an alumni career panel and resume clinic. Other sessions included departmental presentations from LC Labshttps://labs.loc.gov/ and NLShttps://www.loc.gov/nls/, plus various tours led by subject matter experts.

Previously, for the Kluge Center’s bloghttp://blogs.loc.gov/kluge/, Egan wrote about stories that can be unearthed by delving into the digital data around recordings of traditional music in the American Folklife Center’s collections, and also discussed challenges that can arise when creating digital representations of audio material and connecting them to other records.

Regina Reynolds
Supervisory Librarian
Library Services, Acquisitions & Bibliographic Access Directorate
U.S. Programs, Law & Literature Division, ISSN Section

[cid:image002.jpg@01D584D7.EE083CD0]
Regina Reynolds at Falling Water

Regina Reynolds leads a team that constitutes the U.S. ISSN Center, which is part of the 90-country international ISSN Network. It assigns International Standard Serial Numbers (ISSN) to serials published in the U.S. The ISSN is a standard identifier for serials (e.g., journals, magazines, newsletters, newspapers, annuals) whether published in print, online or other media.

Tell us something interesting about you that is not on your resume.

Throughout my career I have worked with an international standard, ISO 3297 (the ISSN standard) as well as with national and international bibliographic standards such as RDA. I think I was destined for a career in standards by my maternal grandmother’s maiden name, Stendardo. The Italian word means, “standard,” as in a battle flag or banner. My banner reads, ISSN!”

If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with the extra time?

I would resume my interest in photography, which I’ve put on hold for a while. Back in 2013 I was fortunate to have had my photos accepted for an “emerging artist” mini-show at a Bethesda art gallery and to sell one of my photos to a book designer who used it on the cover of a paperback reissue of Marcus Zuzak’s book, The Messenger. I would research and buy a new camera, maybe take a class, and take at least a few photos every day.

If you had to choose, what hashtag would best describe you?

#chasingBeauty
This applies to my approach to photography but also to writing a poem, finding a beautifully expressed thought in a book, savoring a wonderfully crafted film, or simply enjoying a lovely scene on a summer walk.

The European Division is co-sponsoring with the Goethe Institute of Washington<https://www.goethe.de/ins/us/en/sta/wsh/ueb.html> a lecture by Professor Frido Mann<https://www.vatmh.org/en/eventreader/lecture-democracy-will-win-an-evening-with-frido-mann.html>, the grandson of Thomas Mann, the German writer and 1929 Nobel Prize laureate. Thomas Mann was the first formally appointed curator of German-language collections at LC, a position he held for three years, beginning in 1942. Frido Mann, who will speak on October 1 at 5:00 p.m. in LJ-119, is tracing his famous grandfather’s lecture circuit of 1938<https://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?cc=mqr;c=mqr;c=mqrarchive;idno=act2080.0051.419;g=mqrg;rgn=main;view=text;xc=1>.

Prepare to be amazed by the daring feats and dazzling sights portrayed in more than 450 circus posters<https://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=Circus+posters+pos&fa=displayed%3Aanywhere&sp=1&st=gallery> from the Prints & Photographs Division, most of which are now online in color for the first time. You’ll find talented acrobats and clowns, animal acts, spectacular pageants, and an “audacious dip of death” performance with an automobile. Look closely, and you’ll notice that vertical lines appear between sections of the largest posters. Those multi-sheet advertisements were so big that they had to be scanned in sections, followed by stitching as many as twenty separate files<https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2019636326/> into a consolidated image. A skillfully choreographed collaboration among digital library specialists, catalogers, and reference librarians prepared this visual feast in response to user demand for pictures of the greatest show on earth. NAVCC’s Twitter Feed Goes Live. On July 29, National Audio-Visual Conservation Center (NAVCC) launched a new Twitter feed, @LOC_AV, which provides news, resources, and entertaining content about the Library’s moving image and sound recording collections and their preservation. Contact Mike Mashon<mailto:mima@loc.gov> at 7-5698 with questions. IFP endeavors to enrich all internship experiences. This week marks the end of the internships “summer surge”—the period between June and August when a wave of college students flow into the Library to work on short-term projects. You may be aware of this phenomenon, even if your office hasn’t hosted an intern. While the projects are invaluable to the Library, IFP ensures that each internship includes educationally enriching activities that benefit the interns. Internships are guided learning experiences related to the intern’s professional or academic interests led by Library staff. This summer IFP led five career-building sessions, including an alumni career panel and resume clinic. Other sessions included departmental presentations from LC Labs<https://labs.loc.gov/> and NLS<https://www.loc.gov/nls/>, plus various tours led by subject matter experts.

Summer intern project highlights the Library of Congress holdings of The Negro Travelers’ Green Books. Stephon Boykin, the HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) Library Alliance Summer Intern, worked on a variety of projects across Preservation Divisions this summer. Of particular note, is his project related to The Negro Travelers’ Green Books in the Library’s holdings.

Previously, for the Kluge Center’s blog<http://blogs.loc.gov/kluge/>, Egan wrote about stories that can be unearthed by delving into the digital data around recordings of traditional music in the American Folklife Center’s collections, and also discussed challenges that can arise when creating digital representations of audio material and connecting them to other records.

It assigns International Standard Serial Numbers (ISSN) to serials published in the U.S. The ISSN is a standard identifier for serials (e.g., journals, magazines, newsletters, newspapers, annuals) whether published in print, online or other media. Tell us something interesting about you that is not on your resume. Throughout my career I have worked with an international standard, ISO 3297 (the ISSN standard) as well as with national and international bibliographic standards such as RDA. I think I was destined for a career in standards by my maternal grandmother’s maiden name, Stendardo. The Italian word means, “standard,” as in a battle flag or banner. My banner reads, ISSN!” If you didn’t have to sleep, what would you do with the extra time? I would resume my interest in photography, which I’ve put on hold for a while. Back in 2013 I was fortunate to have had my photos accepted for an “emerging artist” mini-show at a Bethesda art gallery and to sell one of my photos to a book designer who used it on the cover of a paperback reissue of Marcus Zuzak’s book, The Messenger. I would research and buy a new camera, maybe take a class, and take at least a few photos every day.
