LTS Advances Lehigh
To
attract and retain outstanding staff at Lehigh
University, we create a culture that honors innovation,
outreach, and professional achievement beyond Lehigh
University, just as we do for students and faculty members.
Here are those recognized this issue:
Client Services Team
Leaders Roseann Bowerman and Jean Johnson presented a
program at EDUCAUSE 2009 during early November in Denver on
“Expanding Conversations about Information Literacy: Faculty
Guidance Using Focus Groups.”
Also at this meeting
Sherri Yerk Zwickl co-presented a session with colleagues
from Tulane, American, and the Universities of Hawaii
and Wisconsin entitled "Houston: We Have a Problem" on learning
from unsuccessful projects.
Special Collections

of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Archives Conference Publication
Committee for Spring 2009-2011.
Client Services Director
Tim Foley and Team Leader Gale Fritsche made presentations
at the ACM SIGUCCS Fall Conference in St. Louis during
October. Foley’s topic was "Fostering Best Practices in
Teaching and Learning” and Fritsche’s was “Securing Data on
the Desktop”.
Help Desk Librarian Tina Hertel presented two programs at
the Pennsylvania Library Association (PaLA) meeting in
Harrisburg during October: one on professional career

She co-presented with
Writing across the Curriculum Coordinator Greg Skutches and
