The Boeing Library Services team is the 2009 Recipient of the J.J. Keller Innovations in Technology Award. Visit SLA's online video network, SLA-TV, to watch a brief video about the Boeing Library Services Team and their innovative project "Building Communities Through Content."
The 12 person Boeing Library Services team responsible for implementing this program includes librarians from the Huntington Beach, Calif. and the Seattle offices of the Boeing Company. Diane Brenes is the project lead and her team includes Sue Brewsaugh, Eric Bryan, Margaret Deeds, Joan Dubis, Angela Gillis, Blair Hinz, Robert McAllister, Martha Mori, Karen Robertson, Josh Walters, and Mary Whittaker.
SLA President Gloria Zamora praised the team for its commitment and thoroughness. "The Boeing Team's work is exceptional in demonstrating how various communities or business units can be connected through combined technologies --and, maybe more importantly, through the hard work of a dedicated project team of skilled info pros," she said. "I am especially impressed with its work to capture the institutional knowledge of retiring employees and provide its organization with value-added intelligence. This team certainly earned this recognition and I am thrilled that the selection committee chose to honor it with this award."
