Last Tuesday, October 31, the Chapman community had the chance to meet our newest librarian, Health Sciences Librarian Ivan Portillo. The event, hosted by the Leatherby Libraries at the Rinker Health Science Campus, featured an introduction by Dean Charlene Baldwin which included a report on the “library of the future and the future of the library”. Guests enjoyed refreshments as they listened to Ivan share his expectations, hopes, and vision for the library’s services to the Rinker Campus. There was a great turnout of staff and librarians from the Orange campus, making this a very special meet and greet opportunity for both campuses.
