ASERL-Selectives Mailing List: Alan Zoellner - in the news!

[Cheryle Cole-Bennett (ccole-bennett]

Please join me in congratulating our friend and colleague, Alan Zoellner! 

 

The Government Documents Round Table (GODORT)  has awarded Alan the Bernadine Abbott Hoduski Founders Award!

 

Alan Zoellner is the 2016 winner of the Bernadine Abbott Hoduski Founders Award.  Alan is currently Research and Government Information Librarian at the College of William & Mary.  This award recognizes documents librarians who may not be known at the national level but who have made significant contributions to the field of state, international, local or Federal documents.  The award recognizes those whose contributions have benefited not only the individual's institution but also the profession.  Widely regarded as an “esteemed colleague” in the tight-knit Virginia documents community, Alan has been selected for this award in recognition of his service to Virginia and of his mentorship of other librarians over his long career. Having developed his documents reference skills back in the “semi-dark ages,” his knowledge is deep and he is generous in sharing that expertise with students, faculty, and other librarians.  His colleagues characterize him as “unassuming, charming, and endearing, a joy to work with.”  A tireless advocate for free public access, Alan is also recognized for managing an extensive depository collection and working to have it cataloged. Recently, he has agreed to build his library’s collection of Congressional Budget Office publications into an ASERL Center of Excellence, benefiting the region and the nation. 

 

Congratulations Alan!
