Fwd: [Voyager] FW: Gene Dickerson

Dear DC ExLibris Community, Such a sad event--Gene was an active member of DCExLibris and I know I will miss him terribly. Please see notice below. *Sent:* Tuesday, December 19, 2017 9:07 AM *Subject:* Gene Dickerson I’m sorry to have to report that Gene Dickerson, died on Saturday morning, about 5am, at Georgetown University Hospital, after a long battle with cancer. Gene joined the Bunche Library, US Department of State, in 2006 as the Cataloging Team Leader. From 1996 through 2006 he served as a Unit Head for the National Library of Medicine. Gene was serials librarian with Villanova University Library from 1986 to 1996. He received his MLS from Rutgers in 1982. Gene’s great cataloging skills, high productivity, and systems insight will be sorely missed. He always stayed current with changes and innovations in our profession. Few people were as dedicated to Librarianship. His friend, Ken Plonsky, plans to hold a “Celebration of Life” for Gene’s friends and colleagues on January 7th, which would have been Gene’s 60th birthday. That’s from 1:00 to 5:00, at the Van Ness North apartments. Ken has reserved the “Van Ness Room.” The address is 3001 Veazey Terrace NW Washington, DC, just two blocks from the Van Ness metro stop on the red line. _______________________________________________ Voyager mailing list is managed by ELUNA and IGeLU.

Gallaudet University, federally chartered in 1864, is a bilingual, diverse, multicultural institution of higher education that ensures the intellectual and professional advancement of deaf and hard of hearing individuals through American Sign Language and English.

Gallaudet University Library, a member of the Washington Research Library Consortium <https://www.wrlc.org/> (WRLC), provides traditional services to University students, faculty, and staff in a setting that is barrier-free for deaf and hard of hearing people. It is also home to the world's largest collection of resources about deaf people, deaf culture, and sign languages.

Cancellation of After ELUNA get together Sept 9, at the Smithsonian
by Picken, Suzanne 31 May '17

31 May '17

Due to lack of presentation submissions from folks who attended ELUNA, we unfortunately need to cancel our after ELUNA get together which was scheduled for Friday, June 9, 2017. Kim and I had felt that this would be a wonderful opportunity for those who were not able to attend ELUNA to come and hear what those who did had to report on sessions they attended. But, since there were only two submissions, we felt that the session would not be very useful to attendees. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused but we think that you, too, will agree that the meeting would not be very meaningful without more presenters. We are hopeful that we will have an annual meeting this year in DC and do wish you will consider attending. More to follow on that. Thank you for your understanding.
