Security Monitors
Group Recognition Winner 2002

Whether we call them teams, units, task forces, committees, or groups, staff working together are playing an increasingly important role in shaping library service. During this past year, teams were highly visible tackling major projects, such as renovation, the libQual Survey, the ALEPH upgrade, and the introduction of SFX, Findtext, and Worldcat’s Direct ILL feature.

Although we appreciate, indeed depend on, the efforts of all of these high visibility teams, today we honor two teams whose efforts may be less well-known.

The first team hardly looks like a team since we usually only see one member at a time. This group, however, meets regularly to review and discuss issues that potentially can affect every library employee or patron. They are asked to serve a multitude of functions ­ welcoming patrons and visitors, serving as the first point of contact for problems both small and large, and maintaining services through blizzards, holidays, and the wee hours of the night.

Today we honor the men and women who greet us each morning and who tend the Hesburgh Library long after we all are snuggled up in our homes, the Hesburgh Library monitors:

• Bob Bradley
• Chuck Cowsert
• David Enyeart
• Roy Horstmann
• Cecil Joiner
• George Medich
• Darrel Monroe
• Ray Nichols
• Diane Orlowski
• James Peden
• Karen Robinson
• Mary Szekendi
