Last year the Library began an award program to recognize outstanding usage of Library materials. The Association of Christian Librarians sponsors the program. We ask professors to nominate deserving research papers for consideration, and we get to evaluate the nominees and put forth a name we recommend to receive the award.
Last year we garnered a number of excellent papers, but this year's were even better. One paper researched the financial viability of medical management of scope equipment, recommending changes that would save our local medical centers a considerable amount of money and down time.
Another paper looked into the roadblocks that adult students encounter when returning to school while juggling family and jobs, making recommendations to programs about how to lessen the impact and make it possible for students to stay enrolled rather than having to stop out for a semester.
It was a difficult decision, but ultimately, we did select and recommend one of the papers for consideration. I have to say it restores faith in the upcoming generation. They take most seriously the institution's mandate to serve society and to help change our world for the better.
