[Elaine Gass Hirsch]

The Aubrey R. Watzek Library at Lewis & Clark College is pleased to
announce that Susan Gibbons, Vice Provost and Dean of the River Campus
Libraries at the University of Rochester, NY, will present the 2008
Johannah Sherrer Memorial Lecture at Lewis & Clark College on Friday,
September 26 at 3 p.m. in Smith Hall, Albany Quadrangle.

Ms. Gibbons' innovative work with anthropologist Nancy Fried Foster
to study the research behavior of undergraduates has gained attention from
libraries around the world. Their findings have been presented in the
co-edited book, Studying Students:  The Undergraduate Research Project at
the University of Rochester (ALA, 2007) and covered by the Chronicle of
Higher Education (August 17, 2007).  Ms. Gibbons will speak about her
experiences with this project and the illumination and guidance it has
provided in providing library services in the new century.

Further details on the September 26 lecture are forthcoming.

The Johannah Sherrer Memorial Lecture in Library Service was established
in 1999 to commemorate the contributions and legacies of a respected
friend, colleague, and champion of service.  Johannah Sherrer served as
Director of the Aubrey R. Watzek Library from July 1993 to September 1998.
