Lisa Spieker, a librarian at Rasmussen College, won a Pathfinder Award a couple of weeks ago for her work on the college’s Diversity Committe, and her work to educate staff and students on campus via panels and open discussions about diversity.
The local newspaper in Minnesota, where the award was presented, quoted Martin Luther King Jr. Commemorative Board members as saying that “Lisa sets an air and expectation of tolerance and respect from staff and students [....] (She) has created a culture where people can ask questions, respect and be respected, and learn from each other.”
Awarded in Mankato, Minnesota, the Pathfinder Awards are intended to recognise people who or organisations that “exemplify the ideas of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.”

There have been a number of recent articles about Canadian librarian, Sherrill Cheda, who died June 7th, 2008. Cheda was a librarian at Seneca College, a columnist for Chatelaine, executive director of the Canadian Periodical Publishers Association, helped found the New Feminists in the early ’70s, and was also one of the co-founders of Emergency Librarian. See here, here and here for obits. Yesterday, Section 15 also had a great article about her.
