Denise Beaubien Bennett, reference librarian and engineering selector and online coordinator at the Marston Science Library, University of Florida, Gainesville, is the 2002 recipient of the Machine-Assisted Reference Section (MARS) Recognition Certificate, also known as the My Favorite Martian Award.

The certificate is administered by (MARS), a section of the Reference and User Services Association (RUSA), a division of the American Library Association (ALA). It is given to an individual to recognize excellence in service to MARS.

The certificate was presented during the 2002 ALA Annual Conference in Atlanta.
