Library Newsletter - Welcoming Spring / Supporting Community

We did it! As a community we all made it through the 2010/2011 winter season, and we did it by keeping each other informed, sharing resources, and working together.

And that is the role of our libraries, also. We are here to help keep our students, faculty, staff and greater community informed, provide access to information and other tools to succeed in school and/or be healthy, happy, productive citizens.

Our role in working together is to go that extra step to not just provide access to information but to provide that personal touch, that individual instruction to help one through the maze. Whether it be encouraging your creativity by assisting you with scanning your artwork or using the various iMac applications, or helping you with the incredibly complicated online applications for a new job, or getting you that perfect book for your research from a library in San Diego, YOUR UNM-Taos Library staff are here to provide that personal touch.

So many of us are starting to look at the ground thawing and dreaming of getting the peas and other cool weather vegetables going, or watching for the flower bulbs to pop their heads out of the ground. YOUR UNM-Taos Library staff watch our patrons grow and blossom each time they learn a new tool to use on the computer or engage in a thought-provoking conversation with other library patrons or find the ability to print out a full article on a topic they are truly interested in.

That is why we are open 7 days a week. Our patrons bring out our passion, and our passion is why we provide that personal touch.

And YOUR UNM-Taos staff members recognize that we can provide these resources and services because of our community. Just as the Taos community came together like no other during the natural gas outage, the community supports YOUR library on a regular basis. From Senator Cisneros and Representative Roberto “Bobby” Gonzales taking our message to the Roundhouse to Alyce Frank opening her house for our fundraising tour, the Taos community helps provide the fertilizer to make things grow as YOUR UNM-Taos Library plants the seeds.

Speaking of planting the seeds, the assistant librarian Ana Pacheco has taken her passion one step further and is pursuing the “greening” of the area outside of YOUR UNM-Taos Library to make for a more pleasant, welcoming area for our patrons.

We looking forward to seeing you soon and providing that personal touch.

SBDC Outstanding Client of the Year!

The Taos Small Business Development Center (SBDC), affiliated with the University of New Mexico, has named Daniel Jaramillo its outstanding client of the year. Mr. Jaramillo was honored in a special ceremony at the State Capitol on February 26. 

Daniel Jaramillo is owner and operator of Anasazi Gold, LLC.  The business consists of manufacturing, processing and packaging its own line of humate mineral supplements for humans, plants and animals.  Humates are chemical compounds formed as natural byproducts of the composting of organic matter into soil, and are believed to have antioxidant and antiviral properties as well as aiding in the absorption of nutrients by the body. Mr. Jaramillo states that he is positioning his company to be "the cutting edge provider of an all-organic product line made with humates."  The business is currently located in the Taos area.

Anasazi Gold's organic chemistry formulations and general manufacturing procedures (GMP’s) have been researched and require no additional chemistry or laboratory formulations to maximize the quality of their products, which are produced by an all natural organic  process. "It is all pure and natural, for optimal health and wellness for humans, plants and animals," says Mr. Jaramillo.

Mr. Jaramillo has worked with the UNM-Taos SBDC for business planning, financing and marketing. His next phase is developing products available in capsule form. These will require an automated packaging system to allow him in to sell Anasazi Gold products in more regions of the country.  He is currently in the process of opening a bottle-filling plant in Albuquerque to increase his production and lower his costs.

Mr. Jaramillo is pleased with the help the UNM-Taos SBDC has given him.  He says, “The SBDC has been a great ally on giving advice and on helping me with people who want to invest in my business. Overall, the Taos office has been so very helpful.”

New Mexico's Small Business Development Centers provide existing and new small businesses with expert counseling in planning, marketing, financing, licensing, accounting, government contracting and many more areas. To contact the UNM-Taos Small Business Development Center call (575) 737-6214.
