The ALCTS Esther J. Piercy Award Jury and YPB Library Services are
pleased to announce the 2005 winner of the Esther J. Piercy Award.  This
award is given to recognize the contributions of a librarian with not
more than ten years of professional experience in the areas of library
collections and technical services.

This year's winner is Terry Paul Reese, Digital Unit Production Head,
Cataloger for Networked Resources at Oregon State University for his
contributions in creating and developing the MarcEdit program.  MarcEdit
is an indispensable tool for the manipulation of MARC records which is
used by libraries, vendors, and utilities around the globe.  One of his
nominees stated it well:  "Few, if any, make such a profound impact on
technical services so early in their careers."   Terry will receive a
certificate and a generous award from YBP Library Services in Chicago at
the ALCTS Awards Ceremony, June 26 at 5PM.
