Show Me Mizzou, March 19, 2024
Marie Concannon, head of government information and data archive at the MU Libraries, is the recipient of the 2024 James Bennett Childs Award. This honor, which is awarded by the Government Documents Round Table of the American Library Association, is a tribute to an individual who has made a lifetime and significant contribution to the field of documents librarianship. Concannon received the award at the American Library Association Conference this summer in San Antonio.
From the award letter: “The Awards Committee noted that the support letters for your nomination focused on your dedication to the profession and your lifetime of service. Your role in Government Documents practice has been exemplary. Your work with Prices and Wages by Decade has been beneficial not only to the government information community, but to the wider community as well. It is a privilege to honor you with this award for your years of dedication and service to Government Information.”
The Mizzou Libraries raised $20,305 from 25 gifts! We also received $500 in bonus money for coming in 3rd place in the Facebook challenge! Thanks to everyone who participated.
