 DAVE DRUCKER
The CLIC librarians would like to share with you some of the many contributions Dave Drucker (ddu2) made to scholarship, teaching and research. In the early 1990's Betsy Anthony who was the Director of the Education Library at that time) and Dave initiated installing cables into the ceiling throughout Ruffner so the library could offer database searching in faculty offices via cd-roms. We were the first UVa school to have this new service. When the internet came about and databases moved online, Dave was back. This time, we installed ethernet cables. Years later, Dave was back to installed wireless access. Now, we all could be scholars at any time of the day or night! In addition to being committed to information access, Dave was the point man for those times when technology reared its ugly head and would not work. Dave saved many class presentations. Sometimes he plugged in a computer cord that someone forgot to plug in, sometimes he had to perform elegant workaround solutions for misbehaving projectors, and sometimes, he had to unplug us with his laughter. This immediately downsized the problem and underscored all was not lost as the teaching and content were more important than the technology. And we would be remiss not to create a lasting memory of the many students Dave helped. He volunteered to be the Curry person who would keep up with the students who embrace technology and continue to change the world into a more connected and more caring environment. Dave inspired us all to do our best. He loved libraries and schools, and most of all he loved all of us.
