PROFILE

Casper L. Jordan, associate professor of library service at Atlanta University School of Library Service, has been named university librarian at Atlanta University effective 1 September 1974. He succeeds Mrs. Gaynelle W. Barksdale, who retired after a thirty-nine-year association with Atlanta University.

Casper L. Jordan

Mr. Jordan s first library position was at Wilberforce University in Ohio where he served as chief librarian. In 1961 he was supervisor of technical services for the Nioga Library System, a three-county public library system with headquarters in Niagara Falls, New York. In 1968 he was promoted to assistant director of the system. In 1969 Mr. Jordan accepted an assistant professorship in Atlanta University School of Library Service and was promoted to an associate professorship in 1973.

Mr. Jordan has participated in a number of research projects: he performed the feasibility study which culminated in the Cooperative College Library Center in Atlanta; was state coordinator of the African-American Materials Project, a six-state project to locate and identify materials relative to the black experience; and was chief investigator of a survey of the East St. Louis (Illinois) Public Library. Under two foundation grants Mr. Jordan has coordinated programs to upgrade managerial skills of librarians employed in predominantly black academic libraries: Ford Foundation Special Purpose Program (1969-71) and a current Mellon-ACRL Intern Project.

He has authored a number of studies and is a contributor to professional journals. He is active in a number of metropolitan, state, regional, and national associations. In 1950 Jordan founded Free Lance, a magazine of poetry and prose, which is considered the oldest black literary magazine still in existence.

A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Jordan received an A.B. degree in history from Case Western Reserve and holds an M.S. in L.S. from Atlanta University.
