Bob Goehlert, Subject Specialist for Economics, Political Science & Criminal Justice, has been awarded the first annual Marta Lange/CQ Award. Established by ACRL's Law and Political Science Section in memory of former LPSS chair Marta Lange and funded by Congressional Quarterly, Inc. the award honors distinction in law and political science librarianship.

Bob will receive a $1,000 prize and a plaque. The award will be presented at a continental breakfast reception at the ALA annual conference in New York, Monday, July 8, 8:30-9:30 am, immediately before the LPSS program. The award letter stated that Bob's "record of scholarship and professional service is most impressive, and sets a very high standard for the Marta Lange/CQ Award."

Polly Grimshaw, Librarian and Subject Specialist for Sociology, Anthropology, Folklore, Women's Studies and Psychology, retired December 31, 1995. She had been Subject Specialist for Sociology, Anthropology and Folklore since 1965, adding the other responsibilities later. She also became Adjunct Professor of Women's Studies in 1986 and Adjunct Professor of Folklore in 1992. She also supervised the Human Resources Area File, and was instrumental in bringing the MLA Bibliography's Folklore volume to Indiana University in 1989, adding supervision of its preparation to her responsibilities. She was the 1988 winner of the Jenkins Award " for outstanding contributions to the Indiana University Libraries and to the library profession." She is the author of Images of the Other: A Guide to Microfilm Manuscripts on Indian-White Relations (University of Illinois Press, 1991).

Polly will be greatly missed by her colleagues and by the patrons who flocked to her office for assistance, but the strong collections she built will continue to remind us of her expertise and her dedication. Her plans for retirement include work on her current research, a study of cultural encounters with Native Americans as reflected in the letters of seventeenth century New England immigrants, and traveling with her husband Alan.

Andrea Singer is currently serving as Acting Subject Specialist for Sociology, Anthropology, Folklore and Women's Studies, half-time, and is in the E750 office in the mornings.

Frank Quinn, Reference Department, is the new fund manager for Psychology.
