Julie Kwan (R) receives award from Alan Carr
2012 Louise Darling Achievement Award was presented to Julie Kwan. The Awards Committee shared a brief biography highlighting Julie’s many accomplishments: “During her tenure in the Regional Medical Library (NN/LM PSR) as Library Network Coordinator, Julie Kwan had an important leadership role in several efforts that greatly facilitated resource sharing in the Region: EFTS, FreeShare, and electronic resources licensing with SCELC. She had a prominent role in publicizing and implementing all of these programs, greatly benefiting many MLGSCA libraries. Since her appointment as NN/LM PSR Associate Director in 2010, Julie has played an essential role in the professional development of many MLGSCA members by contributing funding towards such activities as the “E-Science Day” at UC Davis and the “Information Treasure Hunt: Supporting Evidence-Based Practice @ Your Institution” symposia. Julie also served as the Chapter’s Credentialing Liaison in 2005-2007. Julie has also been very active in MLA, most recently serving on the MLA 2009 Local Arrangements Committee. Julie was also Secretary/Treasurer for MLA’s Medical Library Education Section in 2005-2007. Over the years, Julie has made numerous presentation and contributions at MLA Annual and Chapter meetings on various resource sharing topics. In addition, Julie has been the course coordinator for several recent health science librarianship courses in the UCLA Department of Information Studies, and has mentored many new professionals.”
