BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, U.S.A. - March 14, 2007 - EBSCO Information Services and the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) are pleased to announce the winners of the 2007 Community and Junior College Libraries Section (CJCLS) Learning Resources Awards. David R. Dowell, director of the Library/Learning Resource Center at Cuesta College, has been selected as the 2007 winner of the Learning Resources Leadership Award. The award honors significant achievement in the advocacy of learning resources, as well as leadership in professional organizations that support the missions of community, junior and technical colleges. The Hagan Foundation Center for the Humanities at Spokane Community College has been chosen to receive the 2007 Learning Resources Library Program Achievement Award. The award recognizes significant achievement in the development of a unique and innovative learning resources/library program. Dowell and the staff of the Hagan Foundation Center for the Humanities will each receive a citation and $500, donated by EBSCO Information Services, at the American Library Association Annual Conference in Washington D.C. during the CJCLS Awards Breakfast. Dowell has served as director of Library/Learning Resource Center at Cuesta College since 1995. Previously, he served as the library director and assistant dean at Pasadena City College, the director of libraries at the Illinois Institute of Technology, assistant university librarian at Duke University and head of the Administrative Services Department at Iowa State University Library. Dowell earned his Ph.D. in library science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He received his M.S. in library science and an M.A. in Latin American history from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He earned his B.A. in history from Oklahoma Baptist University. “The Hagan Foundation Center for the Humanities is a nationally recognized, innovative program that places Spokane Community College’s library at the center of educational inquiry and provides the library with a positive image in the greater Spokane community,” said Burrell. Originally called the Center for the Humanities, it was renamed the Hagan Foundation Center for the Humanities in 2005. Located in the library, the Center was created in an effort to integrate liberal arts and humanities across the campus curriculum, and to create a humanities-based model for academic inquiry. Additional goals of the Center are to instill critical thinking skills and appreciation for the humanities in SCC students, raise community awareness of the scope and variety of campus programs and provide positive focus on and visibility for the Library/Learning Resources Center.
