The Technical Services Special Interest Section is pleased to announce the
awarding of the Renee D. Chapman Memorial Award for Outstanding Contributions
in Technical Services Law Librarianship to
Janis L. Johnston of the Albert E. Jenner Jr. Memorial Law Library, at the
University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign.
Janis has been an AALL member since 1982, and an active member of the TS-SIS
since 1988. She has served in various positions in local/regional
organizations, special interest sections, and the national association. As one
colleague said in their nomination letter, "Janis has taken the Technical
Services perspective, and shared it with other law librarians through her
active participation in Association-level work.” Through her leadership
positions in the national and local law library associations, and her
publications in the professional journals, she has inspired other law technical
services librarians, and has raised the visibility of all technical services
law librarians.
The Renee D. Chapman Memorial Award for Outstanding Contributions in Technical
Services Law Librarianship is presented at the annual meeting of the American
Association of Law Libraries to an individual or group in recognition of
achievement in an area of technical services, for services to the Association,
or for outstanding contributions to the professional literature.
The award will be made at the Technical Services SIS business meeting, Sunday
July 21, at 5:30 p.m. Please join with the SIS in honoring Janis Johnston for
her leadership, and commitment to technical services librarianship.
