2011 Phonathon:
UK Libraries’ phonathon will run from July 31 through August 18. UK students will be calling friends and supporters of UK Libraries asking for donations for the UK Libraries Enrichment Fund. This fund provides support for special programming and other initiatives that are very important to UK Libraries. Last year’s phonathon set a new record for contributions to UK Libraries.
Jennifer Garrett Completes Career Enhancement Fellowship:
This week marks the completion of Jennifer Garrett’s Association of Research Libraries CEF Fellowship with UK Libraries. A graduate student in Library Science at the University of British Columbia, Jennifer spent the summer working with Robert Shapiro in the Medical Center Library and with Katie Henningsen in Special Collections. We wish Jennifer well as she returns to Vancouver to complete her degree.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank Judy Sackett, Cheri Daniel, Katie Henningsen, Robert Shapiro and Rick Brewer for their service on the ARL CEF Fellowship Committee.
