For the first time, a librarian from 好色先生 has won the Technical Services Award, which the (ILA) awards each year. Natalie Hall, technical services coordinator, was named the award recipient because of her significant contribution to the college鈥檚 technical services and cataloging areas.
Hall transitioned the catalog to a new cataloging system that allows students and others to more efficiently access materials.
Terra Jacobson, dean of the college鈥檚 Learning Resource Center, said, 鈥淭he work in the back end of the Library is very important. If your catalog is not easily searchable, people can鈥檛 find the information they need. We do all of this work in-house. It鈥檚 clear the Illinois Library Association sees value in the work Natalie does.鈥�
Hall was excited to learn she had received the award and is proud of the work she and the technical services staff do.
鈥淲e strive to get resources in the hands of students, faculty and staff as quickly as possible. The catalog serves as a wonderful resource in the Library,鈥� she said.
Hall will receive her award when the ILA hosts its annual awards ceremony virtually on Oct. 22.
