Oakton Earns North Suburban Library System Honors
Judith Mayzel, professor of library services at Oakton Community College, is the winner of the North Suburban Library System (NSLS) Academic Library Staff Member of the Year for 2003. Mayzel will be honored Friday, March 12, at the NSLS Annual Membership Awards Banquet in Kildeer, Ill.
The award is given to an individual in recognition of exceptional contributions to NSLS and its members. In announcing the honor, the NSLS commended Mayzel saying, "Our member libraries appreciate her energy and extreme generosity in sharing her time and knowledge."
"Judith is an excellent representative of academic libraries, and she has taken a lead role in promoting our library to the faculty and students," said Gary Newhouse, dean of library and media services at Oakton.
The NSLS also will honor Oakton with the Innovation Award, which is presented to a library in recognition of a unique new service, program, or promotion that has a positive impact for patrons. Oakton was cited for its "Beautiful Minds" program, considered by the NSLS to "foster and build strong librarian-faculty collaboration and is an opportunity to view the presenter as passionate about research and the use of libraries." The "Beautiful Minds" program, which debuted last spring, introduces students and community members to the academic passions of Oakton faculty, staff, and administrators.
The NSLS is an association of more than 650 academic, public, school, and special libraries in north suburban Cook, Kane, Lake, and McHenry counties.
Oakton Community College offers degree and certificate curricula for students preparing to earn a bachelor's degree at a four-year college or university, as well as those preparing for employment in a variety of careers. Oakton is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission and is a member of the North Central Association, Illinois Community College Board and American Association of Community Colleges.
