If you were able to attend the WHSLA conference last Thursday, you know that Barb Ruggeri is WHSLA's Librarian of the Year. Congratulations, Barb!
Karen Hanus, who nominated Barb, had these kind things to say about her in the nomination form (submitted in July 2017).
"Barb Ruggeri
is a distinguished member of the health sciences library profession. Barb has deep rooted experience as a medical
librarian. She has been the Clinical
Services Librarian at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin for over 10 years. Prior to her current role, she was the User
Education/Reference Librarian at the Medical College of Wisconsin
Libraries. She also worked at Mercy
Health System and Waukesha Memorial Hospital.
Barb has provided valuable service to the health care professionals at
Children’s Hospital through her work with clinical care teams such as the Rare
and Undiagnosed Disease Team. She’s also made significant contributions to
resident education through her work at Pediatric Senior Rounds.
Barb has
also been an active participant in professional associations. Barb has served as presiding officer of the
Southeastern Wisconsin Health Science Libraries Consortium and president of
WHSLA. Her introduction of the WHSLA
Wisdom Chat in 2016 has revitalized communication among WHSLA members and
provided an ongoing forum for learning and professional discourse without
imposing the need for travel for members or large expense for the
association. Her creativity and
innovation has added a valuable service that benefits WHSLA members.
Barb will be
leaving the Medical College of Wisconsin for a new health science librarianship
role at Carroll University in July 2017.
But, she will undoubtedly continue to be a resource for WHSLA and a role
model for health science librarians. I
am extremely grateful for the contributions Barb has made to WHSLA, especially
the WHSLA Wisdom Chat. I feel that she
is deserving of the title of 2017 Wisconsin Health Science Librarian of the
Year for this contribution."
