Please join the ASC Recognition Committee in congratulating our most recent recipients of the True Blue Award.  Here is a little information about our honorees with excerpts from their nominations.

Meredith Scherb – Cataloging & Access Services Librarian – Cowles Library Access Services

Nominated by Teri Koch

“Meredith provides excellent services for users of Cowles Library. She’s responsible for the acquisition & cataloging of books purchased by the library. She also helps Drake faculty put materials “On Reserve” for use by students. One faculty member from ZCB, Carl Vieregger, was so pleased with Meredith’s extraordinary service he wrote to me. First he thanked Meredith, and he wrote: “Hi Teri, Just wanted to share with you to let you know that I interacted first with the Drake Library Chat today to learn about how to place items on reserve and they were so helpful. And now the items are placed on reserve for y class within the same day—that’s pretty cool. Thank you very much. Please extend my thanks to your staff, it makes a big difference for me in my class to make the right materials available at the right time.” This level of service is par for the course for Meredith who always strives to provide library users with what they need in a timely fashion, and she does so with a positive service-oriented attitude.”

Amy Cutler – CLE & Legal Clinic Coordinator – Legal Clinic Law School

Nominated by Sophie Delahaye

“Amy has a vast institutional knowledge, and is an excellent trainer of new employees. She can explain and render tasks manageable. Also, she is aware of the potential scope creep and is mindful and protective of her supervisee’s essential job duties.”
