Throughout his career, Baumann has participated in professional, scholarly, and civic organizations and activities. His book The Influence of Angus Snead Macdonald and The Snead Book Stack on Modem Library Architecture was published in 1972. In recent years, he has served on accreditation teams for the Northwest Association. Baumann’s background includes a B.S. in education and mathematics from Washington University in St. Louis, an MLS from the Pratt Institute Library School in Brooklyn, and a doctorate in library science from the University of Illinois, which he earned while he was on the staff of the University of Wyoming Library (1954-1969), where he served as documents librarian, acquisitions librarian, and assistant director.

After immigrating to the U. S. and taking an MLS at Columbia, Panofsky began his professional career as reference librarian at the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell.
