Loretta Parham Named 2017 ACRL Academic/ Research Librarian of the Year
[http://files.constantcontact.com/e6e9b44a001/682e4851-8769-47a4-8947-a12e04caee06.jpg]Loretta Parham, CEO and Director of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Libraryhttp://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qSmh8vvttGXf8sumw5bYPN1A8cyCHKBn6eYYthuwhW-UFbdosz5mGiMUy6IKfdNtlHxrWwXHZdnXAr0Lx4Ad1pfPnew4SDqHqyNcZtvR81UYsUR_qeenYDF_vvW5bwlYX_ix3O-Hypjl3EqUxlhRt7bAcTxhuGUicgsB50Ny128=&c=yDqRPydMxyYrfIc8SGvxzrz5aMAZGZ_owzj9oLNn0eZ2pvqjDzt__A==&ch=qSEzFrXt5dl0YDiTjUAj-kiJibi8QBPz4yh16f3OiCyeidcwrkJwQQ==, is the 2017 Association of College and Research Libraries' (ACRL) Academic/Research Librarian of the Year. The award, sponsored by GOBI Library Solutions from EBSCO, recognizes an outstanding member of the library profession who has made a significant national or international contribution to academic/research librarianship and library development.
Parham will receive a $5,000 award during the Middle Keynote session on Thursday, March 23, at the ACRL 2017 Conference in Baltimore.
"Loretta Parham's drive, activism, and innovative approaches to library transformation have had a broad and sustained impact well beyond our field and she is the absolute embodiment of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award," said Michael Courtney, chair of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award Committee and outreach and engagement librarian at the Indiana University Libraries. "Parham's dedication to diversity and inclusion, her role as a passionate advocate for libraries and librarians, and her seemingly endless list of accomplishments exemplify the spirit of this award. As one reviewer noted, 'few, if any, possess the panorama of skills that are embodied in Ms. Parham'."
"This award is such an honor and I am tremendously grateful for this acknowledgment of my passion and career commitment to service, libraries, and learning," Parham said. "The credit for these successes should be shared by many others with whom I have worked, and to each of them and ACRL I say thank you."
Highly respected by the library and higher education communities, Parham tirelessly worked to transform the Robert W. Woodruff Library, serving Clark Atlanta University, the Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse College, and Spellman College, into a modern 21st century research facility known for its distinctive spaces and service. Under her leadership, the library has become known for its outreach to students, faculty, AUC alumni, and the wider Atlanta community.
In addition to the transformation of physical space, Parham expanded the library's stewardship of historically significant special collections. Among these is the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection, acquired by Morehouse in 2006 and housed in the Woodruff Library. With oversight for all aspects of conservation and preservation of the collection, Parham successfully steered a smooth and secure transition of the papers from Sotheby's auction house in New York to Atlanta and provided strategic direction for processing and digitization of the collection, making it accessible for public use within an impressive two-year timeframe.
The library extends this commitment to public service by acting as a cultural hub, offering symposia, art exhibits, civic discussions, voter registration seminars, distinguished speakers, and historical presentations to the AUC community and Atlanta residents. As the result of her vision and leadership, the Robert W. Woodruff Library received both the 2012 IIDA/ ALA Award for the transformation of library space and the 2016 ACRL Excellence in Academic Libraries Award.
"Loretta Parham epitomizes the innovative, visionary spirit of today's academic and research librarians," noted ACRL Executive Director Mary Ellen K. Davis. "Widely recognized as passionate advocate for libraries and librarians, her commitment to a transformational vision of the academic library as a center for research, learning, and outreach has earned her the respect of the institutions she serves, the library and higher education communities, and indeed, the general public."
In addition to her work transforming the Woodruff Library, Parham is known as a champion for librarianship and higher education, advocating with passion and clarity for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), their significant special collections, and their value regionally, nationally, and globally. She has personally served as a mentor to hundreds of librarians and is the co-founding director and founding Board Chair of the HBCU Library Alliancehttp://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qSmh8vvttGXf8sumw5bYPN1A8cyCHKBn6eYYthuwhW-UFbdosz5mGhgl6n-C8pp4ARCEjnhGaGoXRwWcc9lNAJ0cmYQpcAzVTVuf8E9uzHkG7z3ml8WUz3J6Jpb1w-9jVe-6LA1wwzpsAeTBe3pdMGULsXpCBD7Vvm3qcLhjnYA=&c=yDqRPydMxyYrfIc8SGvxzrz5aMAZGZ_owzj9oLNn0eZ2pvqjDzt__A==&ch=qSEzFrXt5dl0YDiTjUAj-kiJibi8QBPz4yh16f3OiCyeidcwrkJwQQ==. Established in 2002, the Alliance is a consortium of White House-designated HBCUs with a mission to transform its membership by developing leaders, preserving collections, and planning for the future. Due to Parham's leadership, the Alliance has been the recipient of or project partner in several Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grants awards strengthening library services related to leadership development, photographic preservation, digitization services, and library support of faculty services.
An active member of ALA and ACRL, Parham served as a member of the ACRL Board of Directors as director-at-large (2011-15), member of the College & Research Libraries Editorial Board (2002-08), and as a member of the ALA Committee on Accreditation (2016-20). Parham additionally served as a member of the OCLC Board of Trustees and chair of the OCLC Membership Committee (2012-17), treasurer of the Oberlin Group Consortium (2011-15), and as chair of the Board of Directors and past finance chair of the SOLINET Library Network (2000-04).
Her publications include Achieving Diversity: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians (with B. Dewey, 2006), "Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center, Custodian of the Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection: 'Until Further Notice.'" in RBM: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage (2007), and "Redesigning Services at The Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center, Inc." in Library Workflow Redesign: Six Case Studies (with C. Hart, 2007).
Prior to joining the Robert W. Woodruff Library in 2004, Parham served as director of the Hampton University Harvey Library (1998-2004), director/ administrator of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (1997-98), deputy director of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (1991-97), and in a variety of positions at the Chicago Public Library (1977-91).
Parham received her B.S. in Communications-Broadcasting from Southern Illinois University and M.L.S. from the University of Michigan, which honored her with the Distinguished Alumni Award from the School of Information in 2016 in recognition of her service to the profession.
The ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year award dates back to 1978, and recent award winners include Susan K. Nutter (2016); Robert A. Seal (2015); Tim Bucknall (2014); Patricia Iannuzzi (2013); Paula T.

Loretta Parham Named 2017 ACRL Academic/ Research Librarian of the Year
[http://files.constantcontact.com/e6e9b44a001/682e4851-8769-47a4-8947-a12e04caee06.jpg]Loretta Parham, CEO and Director of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Library<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qSmh8vvttGXf8sumw5bYPN1A8cyCHKBn6eYYthuwhW-UFbdosz5mGiMUy6IKfdNtlHxrWwXHZdnXAr0Lx4Ad1pfPnew4SDqHqyNcZtvR81UYsUR_qeenYDF_vvW5bwlYX_ix3O-Hypjl3EqUxlhRt7bAcTxhuGUicgsB50Ny128=&c=yDqRPydMxyYrfIc8SGvxzrz5aMAZGZ_owzj9oLNn0eZ2pvqjDzt__A==&ch=qSEzFrXt5dl0YDiTjUAj-kiJibi8QBPz4yh16f3OiCyeidcwrkJwQQ==>, is the 2017 Association of College and Research Libraries' (ACRL) Academic/Research Librarian of the Year. The award, sponsored by GOBI Library Solutions from EBSCO, recognizes an outstanding member of the library profession who has made a significant national or international contribution to academic/research librarianship and library development.
Parham will receive a $5,000 award during the Middle Keynote session on Thursday, March 23, at the ACRL 2017 Conference in Baltimore.
"Loretta Parham's drive, activism, and innovative approaches to library transformation have had a broad and sustained impact well beyond our field and she is the absolute embodiment of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award," said Michael Courtney, chair of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award Committee and outreach and engagement librarian at the Indiana University Libraries. "Parham's dedication to diversity and inclusion, her role as a passionate advocate for libraries and librarians, and her seemingly endless list of accomplishments exemplify the spirit of this award. As one reviewer noted, 'few, if any, possess the panorama of skills that are embodied in Ms. Parham'."
"This award is such an honor and I am tremendously grateful for this acknowledgment of my passion and career commitment to service, libraries, and learning," Parham said. "The credit for these successes should be shared by many others with whom I have worked, and to each of them and ACRL I say thank you."
Highly respected by the library and higher education communities, Parham tirelessly worked to transform the Robert W. Woodruff Library, serving Clark Atlanta University, the Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse College, and Spellman College, into a modern 21st century research facility known for its distinctive spaces and service. Under her leadership, the library has become known for its outreach to students, faculty, AUC alumni, and the wider Atlanta community.
In addition to the transformation of physical space, Parham expanded the library's stewardship of historically significant special collections. Among these is the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection, acquired by Morehouse in 2006 and housed in the Woodruff Library. With oversight for all aspects of conservation and preservation of the collection, Parham successfully steered a smooth and secure transition of the papers from Sotheby's auction house in New York to Atlanta and provided strategic direction for processing and digitization of the collection, making it accessible for public use within an impressive two-year timeframe.
The library extends this commitment to public service by acting as a cultural hub, offering symposia, art exhibits, civic discussions, voter registration seminars, distinguished speakers, and historical presentations to the AUC community and Atlanta residents. As the result of her vision and leadership, the Robert W. Woodruff Library received both the 2012 IIDA/ ALA Award for the transformation of library space and the 2016 ACRL Excellence in Academic Libraries Award.
"Loretta Parham epitomizes the innovative, visionary spirit of today's academic and research librarians," noted ACRL Executive Director Mary Ellen K. Davis. "Widely recognized as passionate advocate for libraries and librarians, her commitment to a transformational vision of the academic library as a center for research, learning, and outreach has earned her the respect of the institutions she serves, the library and higher education communities, and indeed, the general public."
In addition to her work transforming the Woodruff Library, Parham is known as a champion for librarianship and higher education, advocating with passion and clarity for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), their significant special collections, and their value regionally, nationally, and globally. She has personally served as a mentor to hundreds of librarians and is the co-founding director and founding Board Chair of the HBCU Library Alliance<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qSmh8vvttGXf8sumw5bYPN1A8cyCHKBn6eYYthuwhW-UFbdosz5mGhgl6n-C8pp4ARCEjnhGaGoXRwWcc9lNAJ0cmYQpcAzVTVuf8E9uzHkG7z3ml8WUz3J6Jpb1w-9jVe-6LA1wwzpsAeTBe3pdMGULsXpCBD7Vvm3qcLhjnYA=&c=yDqRPydMxyYrfIc8SGvxzrz5aMAZGZ_owzj9oLNn0eZ2pvqjDzt__A==&ch=qSEzFrXt5dl0YDiTjUAj-kiJibi8QBPz4yh16f3OiCyeidcwrkJwQQ==>. Established in 2002, the Alliance is a consortium of White House-designated HBCUs with a mission to transform its membership by developing leaders, preserving collections, and planning for the future. Due to Parham's leadership, the Alliance has been the recipient of or project partner in several Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grants awards strengthening library services related to leadership development, photographic preservation, digitization services, and library support of faculty services.
An active member of ALA and ACRL, Parham served as a member of the ACRL Board of Directors as director-at-large (2011-15), member of the College & Research Libraries Editorial Board (2002-08), and as a member of the ALA Committee on Accreditation (2016-20). Parham additionally served as a member of the OCLC Board of Trustees and chair of the OCLC Membership Committee (2012-17), treasurer of the Oberlin Group Consortium (2011-15), and as chair of the Board of Directors and past finance chair of the SOLINET Library Network (2000-04).
Her publications include Achieving Diversity: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians (with B. Dewey, 2006), "Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center, Custodian of the Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection: 'Until Further Notice.'" in RBM: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage (2007), and "Redesigning Services at The Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center, Inc." in Library Workflow Redesign: Six Case Studies (with C. Hart, 2007).
Prior to joining the Robert W. Woodruff Library in 2004, Parham served as director of the Hampton University Harvey Library (1998-2004), director/ administrator of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (1997-98), deputy director of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (1991-97), and in a variety of positions at the Chicago Public Library (1977-91).
Parham received her B.S. in Communications-Broadcasting from Southern Illinois University and M.L.S. from the University of Michigan, which honored her with the Distinguished Alumni Award from the School of Information in 2016 in recognition of her service to the profession.
The ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year award dates back to 1978, and recent award winners include Susan K. Nutter (2016); Robert A. Seal (2015); Tim Bucknall (2014); Patricia Iannuzzi (2013); Paula T.

Loretta Parham Named 2017 ACRL Academic/ Research Librarian of the Year
[http://files.constantcontact.com/e6e9b44a001/682e4851-8769-47a4-8947-a12e04caee06.jpg]Loretta Parham, CEO and Director of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert W. Woodruff Libraryhttp://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qSmh8vvttGXf8sumw5bYPN1A8cyCHKBn6eYYthuwhW-UFbdosz5mGiMUy6IKfdNtlHxrWwXHZdnXAr0Lx4Ad1pfPnew4SDqHqyNcZtvR81UYsUR_qeenYDF_vvW5bwlYX_ix3O-Hypjl3EqUxlhRt7bAcTxhuGUicgsB50Ny128=&c=yDqRPydMxyYrfIc8SGvxzrz5aMAZGZ_owzj9oLNn0eZ2pvqjDzt__A==&ch=qSEzFrXt5dl0YDiTjUAj-kiJibi8QBPz4yh16f3OiCyeidcwrkJwQQ==, is the 2017 Association of College and Research Libraries' (ACRL) Academic/Research Librarian of the Year. The award, sponsored by GOBI Library Solutions from EBSCO, recognizes an outstanding member of the library profession who has made a significant national or international contribution to academic/research librarianship and library development.
Parham will receive a $5,000 award during the Middle Keynote session on Thursday, March 23, at the ACRL 2017 Conference in Baltimore.
"Loretta Parham's drive, activism, and innovative approaches to library transformation have had a broad and sustained impact well beyond our field and she is the absolute embodiment of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award," said Michael Courtney, chair of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award Committee and outreach and engagement librarian at the Indiana University Libraries. "Parham's dedication to diversity and inclusion, her role as a passionate advocate for libraries and librarians, and her seemingly endless list of accomplishments exemplify the spirit of this award. As one reviewer noted, 'few, if any, possess the panorama of skills that are embodied in Ms. Parham'."
"This award is such an honor and I am tremendously grateful for this acknowledgment of my passion and career commitment to service, libraries, and learning," Parham said. "The credit for these successes should be shared by many others with whom I have worked, and to each of them and ACRL I say thank you."
Highly respected by the library and higher education communities, Parham tirelessly worked to transform the Robert W. Woodruff Library, serving Clark Atlanta University, the Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse College, and Spellman College, into a modern 21st century research facility known for its distinctive spaces and service. Under her leadership, the library has become known for its outreach to students, faculty, AUC alumni, and the wider Atlanta community.
In addition to the transformation of physical space, Parham expanded the library's stewardship of historically significant special collections. Among these is the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection, acquired by Morehouse in 2006 and housed in the Woodruff Library. With oversight for all aspects of conservation and preservation of the collection, Parham successfully steered a smooth and secure transition of the papers from Sotheby's auction house in New York to Atlanta and provided strategic direction for processing and digitization of the collection, making it accessible for public use within an impressive two-year timeframe.
The library extends this commitment to public service by acting as a cultural hub, offering symposia, art exhibits, civic discussions, voter registration seminars, distinguished speakers, and historical presentations to the AUC community and Atlanta residents. As the result of her vision and leadership, the Robert W. Woodruff Library received both the 2012 IIDA/ ALA Award for the transformation of library space and the 2016 ACRL Excellence in Academic Libraries Award.
"Loretta Parham epitomizes the innovative, visionary spirit of today's academic and research librarians," noted ACRL Executive Director Mary Ellen K. Davis. "Widely recognized as passionate advocate for libraries and librarians, her commitment to a transformational vision of the academic library as a center for research, learning, and outreach has earned her the respect of the institutions she serves, the library and higher education communities, and indeed, the general public."
In addition to her work transforming the Woodruff Library, Parham is known as a champion for librarianship and higher education, advocating with passion and clarity for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), their significant special collections, and their value regionally, nationally, and globally. She has personally served as a mentor to hundreds of librarians and is the co-founding director and founding Board Chair of the HBCU Library Alliancehttp://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qSmh8vvttGXf8sumw5bYPN1A8cyCHKBn6eYYthuwhW-UFbdosz5mGhgl6n-C8pp4ARCEjnhGaGoXRwWcc9lNAJ0cmYQpcAzVTVuf8E9uzHkG7z3ml8WUz3J6Jpb1w-9jVe-6LA1wwzpsAeTBe3pdMGULsXpCBD7Vvm3qcLhjnYA=&c=yDqRPydMxyYrfIc8SGvxzrz5aMAZGZ_owzj9oLNn0eZ2pvqjDzt__A==&ch=qSEzFrXt5dl0YDiTjUAj-kiJibi8QBPz4yh16f3OiCyeidcwrkJwQQ==. Established in 2002, the Alliance is a consortium of White House-designated HBCUs with a mission to transform its membership by developing leaders, preserving collections, and planning for the future. Due to Parham's leadership, the Alliance has been the recipient of or project partner in several Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grants awards strengthening library services related to leadership development, photographic preservation, digitization services, and library support of faculty services.
An active member of ALA and ACRL, Parham served as a member of the ACRL Board of Directors as director-at-large (2011-15), member of the College & Research Libraries Editorial Board (2002-08), and as a member of the ALA Committee on Accreditation (2016-20). Parham additionally served as a member of the OCLC Board of Trustees and chair of the OCLC Membership Committee (2012-17), treasurer of the Oberlin Group Consortium (2011-15), and as chair of the Board of Directors and past finance chair of the SOLINET Library Network (2000-04).
Her publications include Achieving Diversity: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians (with B. Dewey, 2006), "Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center, Custodian of the Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection: 'Until Further Notice.'" in RBM: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage (2007), and "Redesigning Services at The Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center, Inc." in Library Workflow Redesign: Six Case Studies (with C. Hart, 2007).
Prior to joining the Robert W. Woodruff Library in 2004, Parham served as director of the Hampton University Harvey Library (1998-2004), director/ administrator of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (1997-98), deputy director of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (1991-97), and in a variety of positions at the Chicago Public Library (1977-91).
Parham received her B.S. in Communications-Broadcasting from Southern Illinois University and M.L.S. from the University of Michigan, which honored her with the Distinguished Alumni Award from the School of Information in 2016 in recognition of her service to the profession.
The ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year award dates back to 1978, and recent award winners include Susan K. Nutter (2016); Robert A. Seal (2015); Tim Bucknall (2014); Patricia Iannuzzi (2013); Paula T.

The award, sponsored by GOBI Library Solutions from EBSCO, recognizes an outstanding member of the library profession who has made a significant national or international contribution to academic/research librarianship and library development.
Parham will receive a $5,000 award during the Middle Keynote session on Thursday, March 23, at the ACRL 2017 Conference in Baltimore.
"Loretta Parham's drive, activism, and innovative approaches to library transformation have had a broad and sustained impact well beyond our field and she is the absolute embodiment of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award," said Michael Courtney, chair of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award Committee and outreach and engagement librarian at the Indiana University Libraries. "Parham's dedication to diversity and inclusion, her role as a passionate advocate for libraries and librarians, and her seemingly endless list of accomplishments exemplify the spirit of this award. As one reviewer noted, 'few, if any, possess the panorama of skills that are embodied in Ms. Parham'."
"This award is such an honor and I am tremendously grateful for this acknowledgment of my passion and career commitment to service, libraries, and learning," Parham said. "The credit for these successes should be shared by many others with whom I have worked, and to each of them and ACRL I say thank you."
Highly respected by the library and higher education communities, Parham tirelessly worked to transform the Robert W. Woodruff Library, serving Clark Atlanta University, the Interdenominational Theological Center, Morehouse College, and Spellman College, into a modern 21st century research facility known for its distinctive spaces and service. Under her leadership, the library has become known for its outreach to students, faculty, AUC alumni, and the wider Atlanta community.
In addition to the transformation of physical space, Parham expanded the library's stewardship of historically significant special collections. Among these is the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection, acquired by Morehouse in 2006 and housed in the Woodruff Library. With oversight for all aspects of conservation and preservation of the collection, Parham successfully steered a smooth and secure transition of the papers from Sotheby's auction house in New York to Atlanta and provided strategic direction for processing and digitization of the collection, making it accessible for public use within an impressive two-year timeframe.
The library extends this commitment to public service by acting as a cultural hub, offering symposia, art exhibits, civic discussions, voter registration seminars, distinguished speakers, and historical presentations to the AUC community and Atlanta residents. As the result of her vision and leadership, the Robert W. Woodruff Library received both the 2012 IIDA/ ALA Award for the transformation of library space and the 2016 ACRL Excellence in Academic Libraries Award.
"Loretta Parham epitomizes the innovative, visionary spirit of today's academic and research librarians," noted ACRL Executive Director Mary Ellen K. Davis. "Widely recognized as passionate advocate for libraries and librarians, her commitment to a transformational vision of the academic library as a center for research, learning, and outreach has earned her the respect of the institutions she serves, the library and higher education communities, and indeed, the general public."
In addition to her work transforming the Woodruff Library, Parham is known as a champion for librarianship and higher education, advocating with passion and clarity for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU), their significant special collections, and their value regionally, nationally, and globally. She has personally served as a mentor to hundreds of librarians and is the co-founding director and founding Board Chair of the HBCU Library Alliance<http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qSmh8vvttGXf8sumw5bYPN1A8cyCHKBn6eYYthuwhW-UFbdosz5mGhgl6n-C8pp4ARCEjnhGaGoXRwWcc9lNAJ0cmYQpcAzVTVuf8E9uzHkG7z3ml8WUz3J6Jpb1w-9jVe-6LA1wwzpsAeTBe3pdMGULsXpCBD7Vvm3qcLhjnYA=&c=yDqRPydMxyYrfIc8SGvxzrz5aMAZGZ_owzj9oLNn0eZ2pvqjDzt__A==&ch=qSEzFrXt5dl0YDiTjUAj-kiJibi8QBPz4yh16f3OiCyeidcwrkJwQQ==>. Established in 2002, the Alliance is a consortium of White House-designated HBCUs with a mission to transform its membership by developing leaders, preserving collections, and planning for the future. Due to Parham's leadership, the Alliance has been the recipient of or project partner in several Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grants awards strengthening library services related to leadership development, photographic preservation, digitization services, and library support of faculty services.
An active member of ALA and ACRL, Parham served as a member of the ACRL Board of Directors as director-at-large (2011-15), member of the College & Research Libraries Editorial Board (2002-08), and as a member of the ALA Committee on Accreditation (2016-20). Parham additionally served as a member of the OCLC Board of Trustees and chair of the OCLC Membership Committee (2012-17), treasurer of the Oberlin Group Consortium (2011-15), and as chair of the Board of Directors and past finance chair of the SOLINET Library Network (2000-04).
Her publications include Achieving Diversity: A How-To-Do-It Manual for Librarians (with B. Dewey, 2006), "Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center, Custodian of the Morehouse College Martin Luther King, Jr. Collection: 'Until Further Notice.'" in RBM: A Journal of Rare Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage (2007), and "Redesigning Services at The Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University Center, Inc." in Library Workflow Redesign: Six Case Studies (with C. Hart, 2007).
Prior to joining the Robert W. Woodruff Library in 2004, Parham served as director of the Hampton University Harvey Library (1998-2004), director/ administrator of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (1997-98), deputy director of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (1991-97), and in a variety of positions at the Chicago Public Library (1977-91).
Parham received her B.S. in Communications-Broadcasting from Southern Illinois University and M.L.S. from the University of Michigan, which honored her with the Distinguished Alumni Award from the School of Information in 2016 in recognition of her service to the profession.
The ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year award dates back to 1978, and recent award winners include Susan K. Nutter (2016); Robert A. Seal (2015); Tim Bucknall (2014); Patricia Iannuzzi (2013); Paula T.

Loretta Parham Named 2017 ACRL Academic/ Research Librarian of the Year
Loretta Parham, CEO and Director of the Atlanta University Center (AUC) Robert
W. Woodruff Library
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qSmh8vvttGXf8sumw5bYPN1A8cyCHKBn6eYYthuwhW-UFbdosz5mGiMUy6IKfdNtlHxrWwXHZdnXAr0Lx4Ad1pfPnew4SDqHqyNcZtvR81UYsUR_qeenYDF_vvW5bwlYX_ix3O-Hypjl3EqUxlhRt7bAcTxhuGUicgsB50Ny128=&c=yDqRPydMxyYrfIc8SGvxzrz5aMAZGZ_owzj9oLNn0eZ2pvqjDzt__A==&ch=qSEzFrXt5dl0YDiTjUAj-kiJibi8QBPz4yh16f3OiCyeidcwrkJwQQ==,
is the 2017 Association of College and Research Libraries' (ACRL)
Academic/Research Librarian of the Year. The award, sponsored by GOBI
Library Solutions from EBSCO, recognizes an outstanding member of the
library profession who has made a significant national or international
contribution to academic/research librarianship and library development.
Parham will receive a $5,000 award during the Middle Keynote session on
Thursday, March 23, at the ACRL 2017 Conference in Baltimore.
"Loretta Parham's drive, activism, and innovative approaches to library
transformation have had a broad and sustained impact well beyond our field
and she is the absolute embodiment of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian
of the Year Award," said Michael Courtney, chair of the ACRL
Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award Committee and outreach and
engagement librarian at the Indiana University Libraries. "Parham's
dedication to diversity and inclusion, her role as a passionate advocate
for libraries and librarians, and her seemingly endless list of
accomplishments exemplify the spirit of this award. As one reviewer noted,
'few, if any, possess the panorama of skills that are embodied in Ms.
Parham'."
"This award is such an honor and I am tremendously grateful for this
acknowledgment of my passion and career commitment to service, libraries,
and learning," Parham said. "The credit for these successes should be
shared by many others with whom I have worked, and to each of them and ACRL
I say thank you."
Highly respected by the library and higher education communities, Parham
tirelessly worked to transform the Robert W. Woodruff Library, serving
Clark Atlanta University, the Interdenominational Theological Center,
Morehouse College, and Spellman College, into a modern 21st century
research facility known for its distinctive spaces and service. Under her
leadership, the library has become known for its outreach to students,
faculty, AUC alumni, and the wider Atlanta community.
In addition to the transformation of physical space, Parham expanded the
library's stewardship of historically significant special collections.
Among these is the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection,
acquired by Morehouse in 2006 and housed in the Woodruff Library. With
oversight for all aspects of conservation and preservation of the
collection, Parham successfully steered a smooth and secure transition of
the papers from Sotheby's auction house in New York to Atlanta and provided
strategic direction for processing and digitization of the collection,
making it accessible for public use within an impressive two-year
timeframe.
The library extends this commitment to public service by acting as a
cultural hub, offering symposia, art exhibits, civic discussions, voter
registration seminars, distinguished speakers, and historical presentations
to the AUC community and Atlanta residents. As the result of her vision and
leadership, the Robert W. Woodruff Library received both the 2012 IIDA/ ALA
Award for the transformation of library space and the 2016 ACRL Excellence
in Academic Libraries Award.
"Loretta Parham epitomizes the innovative, visionary spirit of today's
academic and research librarians," noted ACRL Executive Director Mary Ellen
K. Davis. "Widely recognized as passionate advocate for libraries and
librarians, her commitment to a transformational vision of the academic
library as a center for research, learning, and outreach has earned her the
respect of the institutions she serves, the library and higher education
communities, and indeed, the general public."
In addition to her work transforming the Woodruff Library, Parham is known
as a champion for librarianship and higher education, advocating with
passion and clarity for Historically Black Colleges and Universities
(HBCU), their significant special collections, and their value regionally,
nationally, and globally. She has personally served as a mentor to hundreds
of librarians and is the co-founding director and founding Board Chair of
the HBCU Library Alliance
http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001qSmh8vvttGXf8sumw5bYPN1A8cyCHKBn6eYYthuwhW-UFbdosz5mGhgl6n-C8pp4ARCEjnhGaGoXRwWcc9lNAJ0cmYQpcAzVTVuf8E9uzHkG7z3ml8WUz3J6Jpb1w-9jVe-6LA1wwzpsAeTBe3pdMGULsXpCBD7Vvm3qcLhjnYA=&c=yDqRPydMxyYrfIc8SGvxzrz5aMAZGZ_owzj9oLNn0eZ2pvqjDzt__A==&ch=qSEzFrXt5dl0YDiTjUAj-kiJibi8QBPz4yh16f3OiCyeidcwrkJwQQ==.
Established in 2002, the Alliance is a consortium of White House-designated
HBCUs with a mission to transform its membership by developing leaders,
preserving collections, and planning for the future. Due to Parham's
leadership, the Alliance has been the recipient of or project partner in
several Andrew W. Mellon Foundation grants awards strengthening library
services related to leadership development, photographic preservation,
digitization services, and library support of faculty services.
An active member of ALA and ACRL, Parham served as a member of the ACRL
Board of Directors as director-at-large (2011-15), member of the College
& Research Libraries Editorial Board (2002-08), and as a member of the
ALA Committee on Accreditation (2016-20). Parham additionally served as a
member of the OCLC Board of Trustees and chair of the OCLC Membership
Committee (2012-17), treasurer of the Oberlin Group Consortium (2011-15),
and as chair of the Board of Directors and past finance chair of the
SOLINET Library Network (2000-04).
Her publications include Achieving Diversity: A How-To-Do-It Manual for
Librarians (with B. Dewey, 2006), "Robert W. Woodruff Library of the
Atlanta University Center, Custodian of the Morehouse College Martin Luther
King, Jr. Collection: 'Until Further Notice.'" in RBM: A Journal of Rare
Books, Manuscripts, and Cultural Heritage (2007), and "Redesigning
Services at The Robert W. Woodruff Library of the Atlanta University
Center, Inc." in Library Workflow Redesign: Six Case Studies (with C.
Hart, 2007).
Prior to joining the Robert W. Woodruff Library in 2004, Parham served as
director of the Hampton University Harvey Library (1998-2004), director/
administrator of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation (1997-98), deputy
director of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (1991-97), and in a variety
of positions at the Chicago Public Library (1977-91).
Parham received her B.S. in Communications-Broadcasting from Southern
Illinois University and M.L.S. from the University of Michigan, which
honored her with the Distinguished Alumni Award from the School of
Information in 2016 in recognition of her service to the profession.
The ACRL Academic/Research Librarian of the Year award dates back to 1978,
and recent award winners include Susan K. Nutter (2016); Robert A. Seal
(2015); Tim Bucknall (2014); Patricia Iannuzzi (2013); Paula T. Kaufman

> is the 2017 Association of College and Research Libraries' (ACRL)
> Academic/Research Librarian of the Year. The award, sponsored by GOBI
> Library Solutions from EBSCO, recognizes an outstanding member of the
> library profession who has made a significant national or international
> contribution to academic/research librarianship and library development.
>
> Parham will receive a $5,000 award during the Middle Keynote session on
> Thursday, March 23, at the ACRL 2017 Conference in Baltimore.
>
> "Loretta Parham's drive, activism, and innovative approaches to library
> transformation have had a broad and sustained impact well beyond our field
> and she is the absolute embodiment of the ACRL Academic/Research Librarian
> of the Year Award," said Michael Courtney, chair of the ACRL
> Academic/Research Librarian of the Year Award Committee and outreach and
> engagement librarian at the Indiana University Libraries. "Parham's
> dedication to diversity and inclusion, her role as a passionate advocate
> for libraries and librarians, and her seemingly endless list of
> accomplishments exemplify the spirit of this award. As one reviewer noted,
> 'few, if any, possess the panorama of skills that are embodied in Ms.
> Parham'."
>
> "This award is such an honor and I am tremendously grateful for this
> acknowledgment of my passion and career commitment to service, libraries,
> and learning," Parham said. "The credit for these successes should be
> shared by many others with whom I have worked, and to each of them and ACRL
> I say thank you."
>
> Highly respected by the library and higher education communities, Parham
> tirelessly worked to transform the Robert W. Woodruff Library, serving
> Clark Atlanta University, the Interdenominational Theological Center,
> Morehouse College, and Spellman College, into a modern 21st century
> research facility known for its distinctive spaces and service. Under her
> leadership, the library has become known for its outreach to students,
> faculty, AUC alumni, and the wider Atlanta community.
>
> In addition to the transformation of physical space, Parham expanded the
> library's stewardship of historically significant special collections.
> Among these is the Morehouse College Martin Luther King Jr. Collection,
> acquired by Morehouse in 2006 and housed in the Woodruff Library. With
> oversight for all aspects of conservation and preservation of the
> collection, Parham successfully steered a smooth and secure transition of
> the papers from Sotheby's auction house in New York to Atlanta and provided
> strategic direction for processing and digitization of the collection,
> making it accessible for public use within an impressive two-year
> timeframe.
>
> The library extends this commitment to public service by acting as a
> cultural hub, offering symposia, art exhibits, civic discussions, voter
> registration seminars, distinguished speakers, and historical presentations
> to the AUC community and Atlanta residents. As the result of her vision and
> leadership, the Robert W. Woodruff Library received both the 2012 IIDA/ ALA
> Award for the transformation of library space and the 2016 ACRL Excellence
> in Academic Libraries Award.
>
> "Loretta Parham epitomizes the innovative, visionary spirit of today's
> academic and research librarians," noted ACRL Executive Director Mary Ellen
> K. Davis. "Widely recognized as passionate advocate for libraries and
> librarians, her commitment to a transformational vision of the academic
> library as a center for research, learning, and outreach has earned her the
> respect of the institutions she serves, the library and higher education
> communities, and indeed, the general public."
>
> In addition to her work transforming the Woodruff Library, Parham is known
> as a champion for librarianship and higher education, advocating with
> passion and clarity for Historically Black Colleges and Universities
> (HBCU), their significant special collections, and their value regionally,
> nationally, and globally. She has personally served as a mentor to hundreds
> of librarians and is the co-founding director and founding Board Chair of
> the HBCU Library Alliance
