Ms. Elliott commented in a 1994 interview “When I came in, there was nothing mechanical at all in the library and nothing had been catalogued. I had to have something, so I bought a very small, innocent looking typewriter.” When her predecessor visited the library, Ms Elliott recalled, she said “Oh, oh, I can't bear it!” “ It was all the change you see” Ms. Elliott said.
