LCC Graduate Works At
Perkins Library At Duke University
It might seem like a long
distance from being a home
maker to working in the
Perkins Library at Duke Uni
versity and the library at the
Math and Science 'High
School in Durham. But, for
Lenoir Community College
graduate Janet Harding it
was not.
The story of Ms. Harding,
a former Greenville and Pink
Hill resident, and a graduate
of the library media technical
assistant program at Lenoir
Community College, is a
good example of the oppor
tunities available for gradu
ates trom this program, ac
cording to Mrs. Mildred
Matthis. dean of learning
resources at the college.
Ms. Harding enrolled in
the two-year library-media
technical assistant program
in September, 1980. She first
heard about the program
through the Career Develop
ment Center for Displaced
Homemakers in Greeqville
and then the Employment
Security Commission. In
June of 1982. she graduated
from the program with an
A.A.S. degree and less than
two months later she was
working as a library clerk in
the manuscript department
at Perkins Library at Duke.
She is responsible for de
partmental typing and for
assisting with processing of
manuscripts.
In addition to her full
time job at Duke University.
Ms. Harding also will bejgin a
second job this month as a .
library assistant at the Math
and Science High School.
Her duties will include night
supervision of student assis
tants and reference work.
Ms. Harding is highly
complimentary of the LCC
program. "1 feel that LCC
helped prepare me for this
job by giving me a good
background in the library
medi> area. All of the
courses in the curriculum
have been of help to me in
my new job," she added.
Ms. Harding added that*
"taking the library-media
program at LCC was the best
thing that ever happened to
me. The work is very satis
fying and my achievements
at LCC have boosted mv
self-confidence conside
rably." she concluded.
Mrs. Matthis noted that
the demand for graduates of
the two-year program con
tinues at a high level and
there are more jobs than
people to fill them through
out the region.
The LCC program, which
along with one at Wake
Tech. are the two-year pro
grams in the state, has not
taken in new students for the
past three quarters due to
personnel changes and cuts
in state budget allocations.
Mrs. Mctthis also explained
that the past three quarters
have given the college a
chance to review the pro
gram and the demand for
graduates in the job market
and the demand by new
students for the program.
"We see the demand for
our graduates as very good
and also we are still getting
requests for the program.
We have some students en
rolled now in general edu
cation courses who will be
enrolling this fall, if we have
enough students to support
the program. Right now we
still have openings for
several more students," she
explained.
Students are taught skills
with slide projectors, video
operations, overhead projec
tors and other types of
communications equipment.
They learn to make displays
for libraries, can search the
bibliographies, keep regular
files and materials and learn
some telecommunications
expertise.
The graduates have filled
various jobs in community
college, public school and
community libraries from
Duke University to the coast.
In addition, there are jobs
opening up at state insti
tutions such as Caswell
Center. Maury Prison, book
store managers, secretaries
and other trade positions for
which the students are well
suited.
Students interested in jobs
above the clerical scale and
who want to earn from $7,0(X)
to $10,000 yearly would do
well to consider enrollment
in the fall quarter. Mrs.
Matthis said. Further infor
mation can be secured from
her or Mrs. Clara George at
919-527-6223. Ext. 235.
Registration begins Sept. 6
and classes start Sept. 7 for
the fall term.

Committee To Revise Notary Laws
Secretary of State Thad
Eure has announced the
appointment of a .five*
member committee to revise
Chapter 10 of the N.C.
General Statutes which deals
with notaries public.
Mrs. Christine W.
Williams, Duplin register of
deeds, was appointed to
serve on this committee
along with Mrs. Jane Gray,
assistant attorney general;
William A. Campbell, assis
tant director of the Institute
of Government and part-time
law professor at UNC school
of law, and the registers of
deeds of Henderson and New
Hanover counties.
The committee will make
recommendations to the 1985
General Assembly. The pur
pose of the revision is to
update, clarify and simplify
the notary public laws.
The last issue of the news
letter, "The American
Notary" proclaimed that
North Carolina standards for
notaries are the highest in
the country after the Legis
lature enacted a law making
it mandatory that new appli
cants attend an approved
course of instruction at a
community cclleee. Eure ini
tiated such a course effective
Jan. 1 of this year. These
classes proved beneficial to
notaries and the public so the
Legislature is pursuing
further improvements in the ti
notary public process. N.C. r
is the only state which re- x
quires a mandatory course of f
instruction for new notary a
applicants. Duplin County l
las over 500 commissioned
lotaries.
Notaries who have been
iracticing for years have
ittended classes and have
leneflted bv them.
