R e t i r e m e n t s

Selma Jaskowski, associate director for Tech-
nology Services and Resource Management, 
has retired from the University of Central Flor-
ida (UCF) Libraries after 25 years of service. 
Arriving at the library in 1994, Jaskowski em-
barked on a mission to provide the best tech-
nology services for students and staff. It began 
with the rewiring of the entire building, which 
was the first structure built on the UCF campus, 
to support network-connected PCs for all staff 
and students. Jaskowski moved on to increase 
her staff of 1 to 12 over the next several years 
creating an autonomous IT team for the librar-
ies that installed and managed multiple serv-
ers, switches, and wiring. Through the efforts 
of Jaskowski and her team, the building was 
the first on campus to have wireless connec-
tivity. Technology lending soon followed along 
with the establishment of the LibTech desk, a 
central location to borrow equipment and for 
tech help. Jaskowski oversaw the creation of 
the libraries’ web presence, multiple custom 
designed databases for staff operational use, the 
implementation of network printing, and digital 
signage.
