- Ernestine Hebert Stevens (October 25, 1830 – February 5, 1917) was a librarian and director of the United States National Agricultural Library from 1877 through 1893, the organization's first female head librarian. During her tenure the total number of volumes went from 7,000 to 20,000 items and the general expenses rose from $1000 to $3000. Stevens organized the printed materials and replaces copious museum objects with library publications. During this time the Commissioner of Agriculture, Norman Colman, stressed that the department was in need of a well-managed and well-organized library. The library developed a card catalog system under her tenure. Under Department Of Agriculture Secretary J. Sterling Morton, many women who worked in the department were demoted and their salaries reduced. Morton asked Stevens to resign, and replaced her with William Parker Cutter on August 27, 1893. She was retained as a clerk at a 30% pay cut. Cutter continued to professionalize the library. (en)
