Each year, hundreds of UUPers publish books and articles, and are recognized for accomplishments on campus and in their communities. The Voice is pleased to recognize three members in this issue.

• Cheryl Doble, an associate professor in the department of landscape architecture at Environmental Science & Forestry, recently received the ESF Public/Community Service Award. The award is given annually to an employee whose outreach activities to the public represent the college and its mission in a positive fashion and whose volunteer service to the community enhances life for others.

Doble is director of the Center for Community Design Research, which helps communities learn how to plan and manage sustainable futures.

• Erik Hage, an associate professor of journalism and communications at SUNY Cobleskill, is the author of Cormac McCarthy: A Literary Companion (McFarland & Co.), released April 5.

The book offers a comprehensive understanding of the body of literary work by the reclusive McCarthy, a 2007 Pulitzer Prize winner for his novel The Road.

Hage is an award-winning journalist and author of several novels and popular reference books. Go to http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/ for publication information.

• Joseph Williams, collection development and acquisitions librarian at SUNY Maritime, and Hofstra University’s David Woolwine co-authored a chapter in Library Data: Empowering Practice and Persuasion (Libraries Unlimited) published earlier this year.

The article, “The Use of Grounded Theory in Interlibrary Loan Research: Compliance Always Occurs,” discusses the qualitative research methodology used in the social sciences as it applies to interlibrary loan practices at various institutions, through the use of a practices survey.

The study represents the preliminary research to a more comprehensive study of interlibrary loan practices and the effects of the acquisition of electronic databases.
