When Zigis “Ziggy” Ulmanis worked in the Sun-Times Library in the days before the internet, he never liked to mark “NG” on a slip of paper requesting information, which meant “no good,” or that he couldn’t find a newspaper clipping or photo a reporter or editor had requested.
Mr Ulmanis also was known in the newspaper’s newsroom for bringing whatever research results he found right to reporters’ desks instead of expecting them to return to the library to pick them up.
