Congratulations to a colleague

Congratulations to my colleague, Lisa Ellis, here in the Newman Library at Baruch College, for being approved yesterday by the library department for tenure here. Lisa and I worked together to launch the library's e-mail and chat reference services in early 2001. We've also done many presentations together, including one a few years ago at IFLA when it was held in Boston.

Lisa wrote a good article that was recently published in Reference Services Review: "Approaches to Teaching Through Digital Reference" (Volume 32, Number 2, p. 103-119). In the five years that I've worked with her, she and I have enjoyed many discussions and debates about instruction and digital reference. I'm glad to hear that she'll be here for many more such conversations.
