Employee of the Month January 1999

I am pleased to announce that January's Employee of the Month is Gloria Hancock. Gloria joined the staff of the Acquisitions Section June 23, 1997. She has the responsibility of receiving all materials ordered by Acquisitions (books, AV materials, musical scores, etc.) and of verifying that everything sent is what was ordered. She also records receipt in NOTIS and authorizes payment of Approval Plan invoices.

She carries out her work carefully and thoroughly and is always happy to take on new responsibilities and to learn new skills. Gloria is exceptionally systematic which facilitates getting the job done and done well. In addition to her skills in organizing her efforts, she is an excellent worker. She gets on well with other staff because of her willingness to help and the grace with which she offers assistance.

Because of her quiet demeanor, many people have not yet gotten to know her or her contribution to the successful functioning of the library. Yet, during the year and a half in which she has been in this position, she has become close to indispensable in the department. It is therefore a special pleasure to welcome her into the ranks of Employees of the Month.
