Introducing... A close friend recently reminded me that I always wanted to ―play‖ school when we were young. I would bring encyclopedias and assign reports (One for me too!). I was having fun. Then, while attending college, my classmates commented that I should be teaching. And while working in corporate America, I gravitated towards training and coaching. It was my destiny. Ten years ago, I took a volunteer position and internship as a teacher. The rest is history. I am working my dream job. Actually, teaching doesn‘t seem like a ―job‖ to me. Some say that I seem to have a good time in the classroom. Actually, I am having a GREAT time. Although encyclopedias have been replaced by the Internet, one thing hasn‘t changed: I am having fun. Hopefully, my students are too!

Introducing... In March, 2004, Edwin D Follick was appointed the Director of Libraries at South Baylo University. Upon receiving teaching and librarianship credentials and graduation from library school [MS LS University of Southern California 1963] he has served in secondary schools, junior colleges, and in several higher education venues. Both service in law libraries, healing arts libraries, and theological settings have given him a basic perception of instructional materials – now with a total of 45 years of experience in a number of learning opportunities. Additionally, published articles have included subjects in higher education, professional education, law, and religious social history. His work has been most rewarding in helping to define the alternative healing arts to individuals and the public when serving as Edwin D Follick Director of University Libraries a pastor and chaplain from time in the military and on the riverships of Europe through to the present day service in alternative healing arts institutions. His endeavors in the status of evolving librarianship for the acupuncture profession does allow for a creative experience and a refined application as an information specialist. His extensive efforts in the public educational milieu along with a number of appointments in the alternative healing arts private school sector have been most useful in the development of learning materials valuable for health practitioners. As a health practitioner himself conducting a practice for over thirty years, along with serving on national board test committees for more than several years, give an element of experience that has afforded several lessons to be learned about the evolving and transitional healing arts background so necessary for practitioners. These understandings have given invaluable insight in library service at South Baylo University. Additionally, his teaching of medical jurisprudence in a doctoral level healing arts institution plus teaching of health care law, business communications, and business law and ethics in a business school setting have allowed a vision beyond the librarianship environment.
Library Hours: Monday to Friday—9:00 AM to 6:00 PM The following is a brief description of the unfolding development and new construction. The university library at California University of Management and Sciences has experienced constant growth and upgrades from the founding of the institution. Initially on the second floor of the building shared by South Baylo University, this library was transferred to the Euclid location on the third floor with conference rooms along with a window view of Orange County. After a few years the library was expanded by subsuming the space of an adjacent classroom which did allow for much greater flexibility and effective usage. The present expansion will move the university library to the first floor not only to accommodatee the weight of additonal books in the core collection, but rather to provide more convenient access and to focus the emphasis on contemporary learning which necessitates the availability of research materials and databases as indispensable to graduate education. Library materials for general use will be maintained in doubleback full height shelving with special reference sources in counter high shelving along with a wall of computers addressing database research. The new custom made wood shelving will offer a visual statement, and an adjacent room will project an emphasis on integrative study with the walls lined with materials presently in the book collection. The purpose of the university library is to welcome students, alumni, faculty, practitioners, and research scholars along with casual users alike. The hope is that library patrons will find a quiet, peaceful, and useful place in the reading rooms, conference rooms, and individual carrels for study, reflection, contemplation, and repose in the pursuit of knowledge.
