NORTH MANCHESTER – The Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI) recognized a Manchester University staff member during its biennial All-Staff Meeting on Aug. 2 at Marian University.
Now in its 31st year, PALNI is a nonprofit organization supporting collaboration for library and information services for 24 private colleges, universities and seminaries throughout Indiana. The PALNI community comprises more than 150 employees from those libraries, serving approximately 47,500 students and faculty statewide, according to a news release from Manchester University.
This year's award recipients were nominated by their peers and represent a variety of organizations, roles and responsibilities within the consortium. Awards were given in multiple categories that support PALNI's mission of providing high-quality support for student learning and effective teaching through shared expertise, services, resources and partnerships.
Angela Fisher, instruction and access services librarian at Manchester University's Funderburg Library, was a recipient in the category of Special Recognition of PALSAVE Support, which recognizes the support team and task force members, project managers and consultants who have contributed to making the Lilly Endowment-funded PALSave: PALNI Affordable Learning Program a success by achieving $2.3 million in overall savings and impacting 37,233 students throughout the state.
