Star Archives: LA
Doris from a library in Baton Rouge, LA
is a Star because Doris is my colleague in the Government Documents/Microforms Department of LSU Libraries. She is extremely knowledgeable, untiring, patient, and cheerful. She can handle a technical problem as easily and pleasantly as a personnel problem. She was my supervisor when I was LIS graduate student in the department. She was such a pleasure to work with that I wanted to work in the department full-time after graduation. Thanks to Debbie for this nomination.
