Librarian Highlight
 Carol Hutchins
Head Librarian
Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences Two term AMS Library Committee member
On her career as a math librarian:
Over the years, “accidental” math librarian Carol Hutchins has worked with subjects from physics and math to geology and engineering. She recalls many memorable career moments, including meeting Max Zorn in the stacks during her first week on the job at the Indiana University in Bloomington. She also remembers a cold day in the library when she found "a tiny bat, which had gotten into the building and fallen asleep on top of a volume of Transactions of the American Mathematical Society.”
On the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, NYU:
“The Courant Institute is noteworthy for containing a wide range of topics which might be considered outside the scope of a more typical mathematics library. We support computer science, financial mathematics, atmosphere-ocean modeling, and more.”
On AMS membership:
As an AMS member, “I do a small part to support the spectrum of activities of an important learned society. While it's difficult sometimes to attend Joint Math Meetings, when I do go, I always find some way to learn about a new research trend or topics the profession deems important. This, in turn, benefits me in my interactions with faculty and researchers locally.”
Please volunteer to be highlighted here, or write to us to recognize a math librarian you admire. For more information, contact the AMS Web Editor.
