Dobb wins state library award

Linda Dobb, executive vice president, has been named the 2004 winner of the Ohio Library Outstanding Supporter of Support Staff Award.

The Support Staff Interest Group of the Academic Library Association of Ohio presented her the award at ALAO’s annual conference in Dayton this month.

In addition to a plaque and certificate, Dobb received prepaid registration both to the association’s 2005 conference and an Ohio Regional Library Systems workshop. Her name will also be submitted to the Council on Library/Media Technicians and to Library Journal for national award consideration.

The state award recognized her demonstrated appreciation of support staff and encouragement of staff to grow in their positions.

With more than 600 members from more than 100 libraries, organizations and businesses, ALAO is the Ohio chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries and a section of the Ohio College Association.
