Library Student Ambassadors interview: TJ Lewis in Library Storage
Fogler’s Student Ambassadors will be interviewing our student workers through the spring semester. This week’s interview was conducted by Chantelle Flores.
TJ is a fourth-year finance major with the Maine Business School. In his free time, he enjoys playing intramural sports, especially basketball, and walking the campus. Currently, his favorite book is John Green’s “Looking for Alaska.”
For the past four years, TJ has worked as a student library aide in Fogler Library’s Storage, a building dedicated to storing and organizing special collections and publicly donated materials. His work duties involve sorting and organizing boxes of mixed materials for archive spaces, which often includes preparing materials for UMaine’s digital archives. TJ describes a large part of Library Storage’s collection as physical, Maine-focused archival materials. For TJ, one of the joys of working at the Annex is being able to work with “incredible” co-workers.
TJ’s favorite thing about Fogler is the third floor double-decker desks and their views of the bookshelves. When asked what he wished students would know more about Fogler, TJ wished students would “utilize the special collections room more often,” with their skilled and specialized workers who are “always willing to help out.” Both Fogler Library and Library Storage workers share the goal of wanting to aid students in any way they can, and students can find out more about staff, materials, and other information from both locations on Fogler’s website.

Digital Object Identifiers minting service now available
Fogler Library now offers a service for minting Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for UMaine System publications, research, and shared objects. This service is available to any current student, staff, or faculty member from any University of Maine System campus. A Digital Object Identifier is a unique and persistent identifier and URL for a publication/object. It serves as an enduring path to the object’s location online despite changes to hosting over time. DOIs offer many benefits to your work, providing permanent and stable access to your material. This enhances discoverability, making it easy for others to accurately cite your work. That, in turn, improves tracking and metrics, allowing automated systems to easily track citations of your work. For more information about DOIs, click the link below or contact Open Scholarship Librarian Casey Koons.
