Job of a Lifetime is a bi-monthly College and Research Libraries News column which was created to inform librarians and potential librarians about innovative and unusual positions in academic and research librarianship. It includes profiles of librarians in unique placements (including the Smithsonian, and the Semester at Sea program). The library’s own Haiwang Yuan was featured in the November 2005 article.
When Yuan began, the position was brand new and the use of the Internet in libraries was taking off. He recalled, “The dean of libraries had created this new position, but I had to create what I was going to do. I had a blank ticket and at first a lot of people were doubtful. ‘What is Haiwang doing in there, twiddling his thumbs?’ I laid out how I would develop, design, and maintain the Web site of the WKU Libraries. Then I created a plan and a timeline, including what day I was going to finish what. When they found out all that was involved, the question changed to, ‘does he sleep?’â€
The Woodpecker Route, Liberty Way, Lonesome 50, Golden 99, the Lincoln Highway, Yellowstone Trail, Teddy’s International, and the majestic Route 66–these roads and others like them crossed our country when the motorcar was young. They were the auto trails that taught a nation to vacation. American Road is the premier magazine that celebrates historic U.S. highways and auto trails. It includes interviews with highway preservationists and road legends and contains the best information for road-travel reading.

It is a bi-monthly magazine surveying the past, present, and future of American music. The ideal No Depression reader believes that Johnny Cash and Jeff Tweedy are both gods, and for similar reasons, they respect tradition enough to rebel against it. Started in the mid-’90s as a vehicle to cover alt-country upstarts, No Depression has since broadened its range to include all kinds of roots music, including folk, blues, bluegrass, indie rock, and even the occasional classic-rock icon.
