Margaret E. Auer,director of libraries at the University of Detroit Mercy, was named Dis- tinguished Alumna of tire Year by the Library Science Program at Wayne State University (WSU) at its 15th Annual Alumni Update in March. She was selected for her out- standing contributions to ef- fective and improved library service, dedicated work with library professional associa- tions, and involvement in continuing education programming.

Susan Crawford,professor of biomedical com- munication and director of the Library and Bio- medical Communications Center at Washing- ton University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri, has received two awards from the Medical Library Association: the President’s Award and the Marcia C. Noyes Award. The President’s Award is given annually to an indi- vidual who has made exceptional contributions which have enhanced the profession; the Noyes Award, the association’s highest honor, recog- nizes an individual with lasting and outstand- ing achievements. The awards cite Crawford’s “universal contributions to the profession in the areas of service, research, and publishing” which have given stature and credibility to health sci- ences libraries on both the national and inter- national levels.

Peter Jermann,preservation officer in St. Bonaventure University’s Friedsam Memorial Library, New York, re- ceived a patent for the new binder he designed to secure magazines and other documents. There’s a catch to Jer- mann’s version of the binder. In fact, the catch is in the catch itself. Two adjustable straps wrap around the binder and tightly secure documents when fastened. Unlike conventional binders, Jermann’s fastener allows the binder to adjust to the exact thickness of the enclosed items, which can easily be inserted or re- moved, and the binder closes tightly so it can be shelved just like a book.
