Susana Hinojosa has announced her retirement from the UC Berkeley Library as of October 31, 2009, following more than three decades as a library colleague. Susana's first librarian position was in the Moffitt Library in the early 1970s, a role which afforded her the opportunity to develop her skills in public service, collection development, reference, and instruction. She has taught undergraduate and graduate-level courses at Berkeley, and served as a selector/ liaison to Ethnic Studies. Since the mid-1990s Susanna has focused on California and other US state documents, Latin American documents and information from related international organizations, and the public services related to promoting and supporting the use of government information.

 

Beginning November 1 several library staff will be enhancing their current assignments with some of the responsibilities that Susana has championed and sustained. Jim Ronningen will become the selector for California and other state government documents; Carlos Delgado will assume selection responsibilities for Latin American Government documents; and Corliss Lee will become the new library liaison to the Graduate Division. My thanks to Jim, Carlos, and Corliss for their adoption of these new responsibilities, and to Susana for her many years of service to the Library.
