University Libraries is honoring employees who have exceeded expectations and demonstrated excellence in their service to students, fellow employees, and the University as a whole. The employees were nominated by other library employees, and then chosen by a committee.
The Exemplary Employee Award was given to employees who showed commitment to principles of trust, service, collaboration, and accountability, and the Bright Idea award, given to those interested in creating and implementing procedures and solutions to help improve the overall customer service, and effectiveness of the library system at UNM.
This year, the Exemplary Employee Award was presented to two recipients: Rik Burkard, a hard working and dedicated employee always willing to take on more than his expected workload to provide students and staff with greater service and support at the library, and Christine Nelson, a terrific colleague and dedicated staff member, who demonstrates leadership and initiative in all of her endeavors.
The Bright Idea Award was presented to the entire Interlibrary Loan Department, including: Randy Moorehead, Bernadette Anglada, Bonne Burton, Wanda Day, Joe Lane, and Frances Lopez-Smith. This group worked incredibly hard to implement and to launch Library Express, a new service offered by University Libraries that delivers UNM Library material and resources to patrons electronically. The service has been well received by the University community.
