ACRL News Issue (B) of College & Research Libraries 168 Personnel Aobert L. Hampton is off to a flying start as librarian of the William Allen White memorial library at the Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia. As acting librarian during the 1966-67 academic year, Hamp­ ton began a moderni­ zation of the library’s technical services and has developed plans for a four-story, 60,- 000 square foot addi­ tion to the library to be constructed next Mr. Hampton year. Mr. Hampton’s ap­ pointment as librarian was effective July 1. He received his master’s degree at the Uni­ versity of Denver library school and did his undergraduate work at the Teachers College. He joined the staff of the White library in 1960 as assistant cataloger and a year later be­ came acquisitions librarian, the position he held until last year. He worked in the Mary Reed library in Denver while doing graduate study. He has also worked in Emporia’s New­ man memorial hospital medical library. Pursuing his doctoral studies at the Univer­ sity of Chicago, he concentrated in the tech­ nical services area, and while there served as research assistant for the Center of Continuing Education on the campus. Bob Hampton didn’t waste any time decid­ ing on a career. He worked in his hometown library in Iola, Kansas (he is a native Kansan) and from that time on he has either worked in libraries or studied librarianship. The library he now heads was named after the famous Kansas editor of the Emporia Ga­ zette and is the home of the college’s library school. He will teach classes in technical ser­ vices and college and university libraries dur­ ing the coming year. He had previously taught cataloging and “use of books and library” courses. In addition to his administrative duties, Mr. Hampton has been conducting a detailed analy­ sis of the White library collection. In this re­ gard, his bibliographic work has resulted in considerable strengthening of the collection. Mr. Hampton is a young man on the move. In light of his rapid rise to responsibility, his future is indeed promising—both for his library and for the profession of librarianship.—Irene Hansen, Kansas State Teachers College.
