Staff -- Library Journal, 1/10/2000
"If anyone can be said to represent what a librarian really is and has been during a long stretch of the history of one of the world's greatest libraries, it is Jean Bowen," declared the New York Times, in a January 5 profile of the former head of the New York Public Library's (NYPL) music division, who had retired after 53 years. Her most notable accomplishment, according to NYPL President Paul LeClerc, was the acquisition of the archives of the composer John Cage.
