That's a great idea, to give out an award like that.  But I had to 
scoff.  50 requests in a year?  Please.  Amateur. ;-)  MY current 
winner is a history faculty who has requested 195 items in the last 
year alone.  Many in German and many quite obscure. :)  And I'm sure 
Arthur at La Grange can top my winner.

In this time of people not coming into the library much (at least, we 
have a problem with that on our campus), this is a great 
idea.  Thanks for sharing it Jennifer.

Ever see a statue of Buddha? He's overweight,
bald, and he doesn't care. What an indecisive
pose for an enlightened being!  What's the meaning
of life? 'Hell, your guess is as good as mine--
where's the buffet?' " --Allan Murray, comic
