Behind the scenes, Kim Walker is one of the Law Library's most valuable workers. When you use the Law Library catalog to find the latest issue of a periodical, you are using Kim's work. She is the Serials Technician in Technical Services and works with Han Ouyang, Head of Technical Services, Angela Minor, Cataloging Librarian, and Marvin Williams, Library Technician. Kim is responsible for checking in all the serials publications, including loose-leafs, pocket parts and supplements. She also is now in charge of the Law Library's binding project. Kim has been at the Law Library since 1996 and knows everyone in the Law School and much of the University. In fact, what she likes best about UDC–DCSL is the people.

At home in Maryland, Kim likes to cook, listen to music, watch TV, and work puzzles. She's a fan of the TLC channels programs on home decorating and a long-time movie fan — especially any movie with Ruby Dee. Her favorite music includes gospel, jazz, and blues; her favorite performers are Chaka Khan and Earth, Wind and Fire. Two of her heroes, whom she wishes she could have met, are Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Madame C. J. Walker, who became very successful in the early 20th century by starting a business of black beauty products.

Kim's a mom to both her son Bryan and her nephew Xavier. Her father, Elzie, 74, a former conductor/trainman for New Jersey Transit also now makes his home with Kim. Kim was raised in New Jersey, but came to the D.C. area to work first in the Department of Labor Library and then with Telesec/Info-Current, a library services firm, before she joined UDC–DCSL.
