Suzanne Bell, librarian at University of Rochester has been selected as the first recipient of the Messinger Library Recognition Award. The honor, created and funded by senior trustee Martin E. Messinger, comes with a $5,000 award. Woohoo!
Bell is the University of Rochester’s “database queen”. She’s the main reason there are more than 4,100 items in the University’s institutional repository, UR Research, which holds papers and publications created by faculty and students. She provides assistance and guidance to those using the University’s subscription databases, and is the University’s representative on campus for the largest collection of social science datasets in the country, the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, ICPSR. She even wrote a textbook, The Librarian’s Guide to Online Searching, about combing through databases. Here’s the press release on the award.
