> CHICAGO-The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services 
> (ALCTS) has named Steven C. Shadle, the 2010 recipient of the Ulrich’s 
> Serials Librarianship Award. This award for distinguished 
> contributions to serials, presented by the Continuing Resources 
> Section of ALCTS, consists of a citation and $1,500 donated by 
> ProQuest through its Serials Solutions business unit.

> Steve Shadle, serials access librarian at the University of Washington 
> Libraries, has become "the voice of e-serials" cataloging based on his 
> expert knowledge of e-serials and cataloging, his ready answers to 
> serials questions on listservs and the multitude of catalogers and 
> trainers he has trained and mentored. Additionally, Steve is a 
> frequent and popular presenter at meetings and conferences, has made 
> numerous contributions to the serials literature and has shared his 
> knowledge and expertise by supporting the ISSN, being an active 
> participant in professional organizations.
>
> He was a key contributor to the successful development and 
> implementation of the single-record approach for electronic serials, 
> the aggregator-neutral approach for electronic serials and the CONSER 
> standard record.  These developments in serials cataloging have helped 
> facilitate access to serials records for countless end-users and 
> researchers.  As a member and trainer with SCCTP (Serials Cataloging 
> Cooperative Training Program), Steve has taught 29 cataloging 
> workshops (reaching more than 500 students) and four train-the-trainer 
> workshops (training 100 serials cataloging trainers) and helped 
> develop curriculum for the workshops.  Steve's sense of humor enables 
> him to make electronic serials cataloging accessible and fun. 
>
> Steve participated in the ALCTS Advisory Task Force on the Library of 
> Congress Action Plan for Bibliographic Control of Web Resources. He 
> has taught library school classes and served on the implementation 
> team for the University of Washington's OCLC WorldCat Local product. 
> He is a member of the editorial board of Serials Review. Steve's 
> long-term commitment to the serials profession has had an impact not 
> only on the people he has trained and worked with, but also has 
> resulted in improved access to serials records.
