Marilyn Stempeck was a faculty member in the University Libraries Technical Services department, previously known as the cataloging department. Upon her retirement in Spring 2012, she transferred some of her files to the university archives. The files she transferred were those that she believed helped to shed light on the development and evolution of many of the Libraries' work-flow processes and procedures, especially those in the Technical Services department. She also donated materials that she perceived as offering a unique historical perspective on library-related policies, procedures, and workflow.
