Oakton Librarian Wins National Award

Susan M. Maltese, Oakton Community College professor of library services and chair of library faculty, is the winner of the 2005 EBSCO Community College Learning Resources Leadership Award, the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) announced.

The award honors significant achievement in the advocacy of learning resources, as well as professional leadership in organizations that support community, junior, and technical colleges. A citation and $500, donated by EBSCO Information Services, will be presented to Maltese Saturday, June 25, at the American Library Association (ALA) annual conference in Chicago.

"Susan has participated in library associations throughout her career," said Alice Lubrecht, award committee chair. "She has been active in the ACRL's Community and Junior College Libraries Section since its inception and has held almost every leadership position available."

A division of the American Library Association, the Association of College and Research Libraries represents 12,000 academic and research librarians and interested individuals. ACRL is the only individual membership organization in North America that develops programs, products and services to meet the unique needs of academic and research librarians.
