Biographical History for: Leonard Adams Papers
Historical Note Leonard Adams (1946-) began his career with the UMass Amherst Libraries in May 1974 when he was hired to work as an Exit Check on the night shift. Before earning his MLS at the University of Rhode Island in 1975, Adams worked in Circulation and Serials, after which he became Serials Cataloger and Bindery Supervisor, and in 1980, Government Documents Librarian. He added Patents and Trademarks to his job duties in 2004. A founding member of the Boston Library Consortium's Government Documents Interest Group, Leonard Adams served the UMass Amherst Libraries for 33 years before his retirement in May 2008.
The collection was donated to Special Collections and University Archives by Leonard Adams in May 2008.
Scope and Contents of the Collection Leonard Adams's papers provide insight into the inner-workings of a Government Documents Repository and convey, even in their brevity, the nature of the work of a Government Documents librarian. Included among the papers are professional correspondence, a Government Documents Technical Processing Manual and articles written by Adams, Adams's annual reports and performance reviews, and other documents relating to Adams's long tenure at the University Libraries. In 2005, Adams hosted a group of library interns from Kosovo at UMass Amherst; memos and photographs document their time at UMass, including a presentation given at the UMass Libraries in October of that year.
The collection is open for research.
