> MARCIA TUTTLE BIOGRAPHY
>
> Marcia Tuttle has had a distinguished career in serials librarianship.
She
> was the winner of the first Bowker/Ulrich's Serials Librarianship
Award in
> 1985.  Marcia published her landmark textbook, Introduction to Serials
> Management, in 1983.  The series continued with five volumes of
Advances
> in
> Serials Management, which Marcia originated and co-edited from
1985-1992.
> The series is used by all affiliated with the serials business.  This
> series was followed by Managing Serials published in 1996.  Another
> publication which Marcia began publishing and editing in the 1980's is
The
> Newsletter on Serials Pricing Issues (NSPI).  Although NSPI ceased
> publication in 2001, it was a timely publication for librarians
worldwide
> with practical information and controversial viewpoints on serials
pricing
> and related topics.  Marcia also serves on the editorial board for
Serials
> Review.   With October Ivins, Marcia organized the Aqueduct Group, a
> retreat for librarians to discuss a variety of topics relating to
serials.
> Out of these gatherings came a call for action known as "The Aqueduct
> Agenda" which was published in The Chronicle of Higher Education,
Library
> Journal, and Serials Review.
>
> Marcia was one of a select few to attend a United Kingdom Serials
Group
> (UKSG) conference in 1984, a meeting of minds/ideas, which resulted in
a
> genesis of our own serials organization, the North American Serials
> Interest Group (NASIG). NASIG held its first conference in 1986.
Marcia
> was present at that conference and has attended many NASIG conferences
> since.  She served as chair of the Conference Planning Committee (CPC)
for
> the Tenth Anniversary Conference held at Duke University in 1996.  She
has
> chaired the ALA RTSD (now ALCTS) Serials Section.  Marcia currently
serves
> as an associate moderator for SERIALST.  She has taught a generation
of
> serials librarians (and some vendors) in her serials courses at the
> library
> school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  Marcia
loves
> to
> travel, and she enjoys makings presentations on serials topics.  Over
the
> years she has been invited to speak at meetings all over North
America, as
> well as at conferences in Europe, South Africa and Australia.  A
number of
> these talks have been published in various library journals.  Marcia
> Tuttle
> is indeed a well-respected international librarian, and it is an honor
to
> have this International Grant named after her.
