About Me
- Gerry McKiernan
- I currently have primary responsibilities for Collection Development, Instruction, and Reference and Research Services in Aerospace Engineering, Chemical and Biological Engineering; Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering; Alternative Energy; Environment Sciences; Industrial and Manufacturing Systems Engineering; and Mechanical Engineering with the Library of Iowa State University, where I have been employed since April 1987. Prior to joining ISU, I served as the Museum Librarian at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, Pittsburgh, and as an Assistant Librarian with the Library of the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx, my hometown. I received my Master of Science degree in Library Science from the University of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign in 1975, and my undergraduate degree in Anthropology from Lehman College of the City University of New York, The Bronx.

It would be interesting to pull together a combined picture of events on all three campuses at that time. I was a student at UNI (deeply involved in the New Prairie Primer and moratorium movement). Our big protest had happened a few weeks earlier and stemmed from the efforts of black students to have a cultural center set aside in the student union. I went with a few other students to Iowa City to watch Nixon's speech on the Pentacrest. What struck us was the relative lack of engagement by UI students. Quite by coincidence the Rhetoric Building on the UI campus burned that night. Being absorbed with my own local events, I had missed what happened in Ames, so I was glad to see this.
