This year, as the college transitioned to remote instruction in March, the Hunter College Libraries staff and faculty worked tirelessly to provide access to our resources and services while working from home. Instead of our in-person Library Day celebration, we decided to provide space for our staff and faculty to call each other out for the good work we have all been doing - much of which is invisible to the end-user.
The Libraries' User Experience & Outreach Committee asked library staff and faculty to submit individuals, groups, or library units to be called out here for their good work. You can read all about it here: https://bit.ly/3c5kwcv
We also decided to continue the LeClerc Competition for Best Research Papers in order to honor the excellent work done by our students. The contest winners are included at the link above and listed here as well. A huge thank you goes to Web & Digital Initiatives Librarian/Assistant Professor Iris Finkel for her work coordinating this contest each year.
