Fast forward and he now serves as a subject librarian within the John C. Hitt Library at UCF, providing research assistance, library instruction and collection development in several subject areas such as Writing and Rhetoric, English, and Modern Languages. He has held this position since 2007\u2014a total of 12 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI actually thought I would go from Peace Corps into teaching. I started down that path, didn\u2019t really like it as much as I thought I would; it was very different teaching overseas,\u201d John detailed as he sat down to talk to me in his office, a space tucked away behind the Research and Information Services desk at the John C. Hitt Library. He tells me about how one conversation with a librarian at the college where he was teaching veered his path in a similar direction, ultimately guiding him towards UCF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John witnesses the day-to-day happenings at the John C. Hitt Library, which I noted to him seem quite hectic with the ongoing construction. He mentions that the library is becoming \u201cmore collaborative and social,\u201d unlike most other spots on campus. This becoming is in the form of the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Library Project, an endeavor that has been prominent on campus for the past five years, evident by the seemingly endless sounds of metal clanging and cranes beeping around and throughout the Student Union and John T. Washington Center. It is proving to be the biggest renovation UCF has undergone in its nearly 60 years of existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 2023, the John C. Hitt library, the place where John Venecek has built \u201ca huge part of my [his] identity\u201d will be known as the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Library. UCF Libraries Senior Associate Director for Administrative Services Frank Allen says that the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Library will \u201ccreate more learning, study and collaborative spaces and help enhance student success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cahcms.smca.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3883 lazyload\" width=\"203\" height=\"203\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cahcms.smca.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3883\" width=\"203\" height=\"203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/Frank-Allen-head-shot-2017-2048x2048.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 203px) 100vw, 203px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption><em> Frank Allen: UCF Libraries Senior Associate Director for Administrative Services<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Frank has been the coordinator for the project for the past five years.

And so much of the world of\ninformation now is online that you kind of have to be online as well if you\u2019re\ngoing to remain relevant,\u201d John explains matter-of-factly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s no secret that the John C. Hitt Library is following the \u201ctrend\u201d that John alludes to. One of the project\u2019s biggest technological advancements is the creation of the Automated Retrieval Center (ARC). This system will allow for the retrieval of books via robotic cranes, eliminating the need to scourge shelves. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/library.ucf.edu\/21st\/\">UCF\u2019s official website<\/a> that details all aspects of the 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Library Project, books via the ARC will be available for pickup in minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-vimeo aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"ARC Ingest\" data-src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/286233528?h=ccd2f0407f&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption> <em>ARC in Action \/ Courtesy of  <a href=\"https:\/\/library.ucf.edu\/21st\/arc\/\">https:\/\/library.ucf.edu\/21st\/arc\/<\/a> <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering the project and the development of the ARC have\nboth pushed forward, one may think the ideas went off without a hitch. However,\nthe mere concept of the ARC did cause some uproar according to John, to the\npoint where some of his colleagues brought up the idea of protesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s [the project] not without certain people feeling\nlike we\u2019re losing something in the process,\u201d John states when asked about the notion\nof giving up tradition for modernization. Before, he had explained to me the\nconcept of the \u201cserendipity of research,\u201d wherein you go looking for one book and\n\u201cchances are you\u2019re not coming back from the stacks with just one book.\u201d Such epiphanies may be lost because of the\nARC, a loss that John says fueled the possibility of protest when first\nconceptualized.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, protesting did not occur and the project moved\nforward at an astounding rate. Already, two of its brand new features have\nopened: the 5<sup>th<\/sup> Floor Quiet Study Area and the aforementioned ARC.\nWhat\u2019s immediately to come is Phase IA, which Frank pointed out is \u201ccloaked\nbehind the curtains at the back of the building\u201d until its big reveal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Phase IA will contain the bulk of new renovations: 1,000+ new seats, an entrance to the library closer to the Student Union, numerous instruction and group study rooms, a Reading Room on top of the ARC with 270-degree views of campus, a new Circulation Services desk and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cahcms.smca.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/UCF-Circulation-Desk-Area_V3_Final-1024x653.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3889 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/UCF-Circulation-Desk-Area_V3_Final-1024x653.png 1024w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/UCF-Circulation-Desk-Area_V3_Final-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/UCF-Circulation-Desk-Area_V3_Final-768x490.png 768w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/UCF-Circulation-Desk-Area_V3_Final.png 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/cahcms.smca.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/UCF-Circulation-Desk-Area_V3_Final-1024x653.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/UCF-Circulation-Desk-Area_V3_Final-1024x653.png 1024w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/UCF-Circulation-Desk-Area_V3_Final-300x191.png 300w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/UCF-Circulation-Desk-Area_V3_Final-768x490.png 768w, https:\/\/cah.ucf.edu\/imprint\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/12\/UCF-Circulation-Desk-Area_V3_Final.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption><em>A rendering of the new second-floor area with the Circulation desk. \/ Provided by Frank Allen<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And although these renovations, as seen from the rendering,\nlook impressive on the inside, the outside has been less than picturesque.\nAreas between the John C. Hitt Library and Student Union have been barricaded\nfor quite some time, limiting movement between these two frequently visited\nlandmarks on campus and the John T. Washington Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAside from the occasional loud noises and some dust, the\ncontractor has done a very good job of keeping the construction activity\ncontained and away from occupied spaces,\u201d Frank reassured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These \u201cloud noises\u201d and \u201cdust\u201d haven\u2019t swayed John\u2019s stance\nin the slightest on working at the library. His 12 years there expanded\ntremendously from the predicted two when he first accepted UCF\u2019s offer, driven\nby the fact that most of his other librarian friends tended to bounce between\nemployers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery day is different here,\u201d he says, sitting within the beige-painted corner of the library, a smaller world within a bigger one, a smile on his face. \u201cThere\u2019s so much going on that it\u2019s like\u2026there\u2019s a lot of people in an office job where they kind of do the same thing day in and day out and I wonder how they get by because here it\u2019s sometimes compared to being on a rushing river. There\u2019s so much happening, you\u2019re trying to reach out and grab your little part.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there may be \u201cso much happening\u201d at the John C. Hitt Library, it is only because it exhibits what UCF needs the most: expansion. It may not be as rapid as the university\u2019s enrollment, but the refurbished space will still be able to accommodate even more students who find solace in the library. More importantly, it will give faculty members such as John a chance to discover more of their identity found inside of the soon-to-be 21<sup>st<\/sup> Century Library. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Pamela Gores Twenty years ago, Peace Corps English Instructor John Venecek built something miraculous out of nothing in a small town in Russia: a&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":3891,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[756,837],"tags":[840,838,839],"class_list":["post-3863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academia","category-issue-15-fall-2019","tag-construction","tag-library","tag-ucf"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
