Judith Walker named 2013 ACRL/EBSS Distinguished Librarian

Judith A. Walker, education/psychology librarian and professor at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, is the recipient of the EBSS Distinguished Education and Behavioral Sciences Librarian Award. This award honors a distinguished academic librarian who has made an outstanding contribution as an education and/or behavioral sciences librarian through accomplishments and service to the profession.

Judy personifies the qualities that characterize a distinguished education and behavioral sciences librarian: extensive service and leadership in the field, scholarly publications that directly benefit academic librarians in her area, and the planning and implementation of exemplary programs and workshops for professional development. Her work for EBSS, the NASA Educator Resource Center, and as the ACRL  has left a lasting impact on the field.

A prize of $2,500 and a citation, donated by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., will be presented to Judy during the EBSS program at the ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, on Saturday June 29, 2013 from 1:00-2:30 pm in room MCP-S405 in the convention center.
