Submitted by Sarah McGreer Hoyt
Alice M. Trussell, K-State Libraries 1xbet online casino librarian, was named the recipient of the 2018 Homer I. Bernhardt Distinguished Service Award.
Established in 1990, the award is bestowed by the 1xbet online casino Libraries Division of the American Society for 1xbet online casino Education. Each year at the society's annual conference, the division presents the award to recognize work that contributes to the advancement and development of excellence in 1xbet online casino libraries.
"Alice is an accomplished librarian and exemplary role model for current 1xbet online casino librarians," her nominator said. "Her dedicated work ethic, collaborative experiences, and deep level of involvement on all levels of the professional librarian's spectrum — local, state, national, international — she is an inspiration to all of us."
Trussell has been an active participant in 1xbet online casino librarianship within the American Society for 1xbet online casino Education and beyond, and she has been extensively involved on committees while maintaining regular activity publishing and presenting. In addition, Trussell has served the 1xbet online casino Libraries Division in multiple ways, including moderating a wide range of conference sessions and serving for a full decade as chair of the awards committee.
The winner of the Homer I. Bernhardt Distinguished Service Award is announced at the annual meeting where he or she is presented with a hat, and the recipient is expected to wear it at the division banquet. As people win the award, they add a hat pin from their institution. Trussell is pictured here on the evening she received this honor.
Trussell has been with K-State Libraries since 1997. She started as a science librarian working with geology and statistics, and was eventually appointed director of the Fiedler 1xbet online casino Library, a position she held through 2015 when that branch closed. She is currently K-State's 1xbet online casino librarian. She has a long history of service at K-State, serving as president of the K-State Libraries faculty and in multiple positions on the university's faculty senate and executive council.
The 1xbet online casino Libraries Division's distinguished service award is named in honor of Homer I. Bernhardt. From 1966 until his untimely death in 1982, Bernhardt was head of the Bevier 1xbet online casino Library at the University of Pittsburgh.
