Home2008 Corrigan Solari Faculty Fellowship Award Winners Announced
May 7, 2008
The UO Libraries is proud to announce that two UO librarians have been named as recipients of the 2008 Corrigan Solari Faculty Fellowship Award. Tom Stave, head of the library's Document Center, and Ed Teague, head of the Architecture and Allied Arts Library, were recently named as award recipients.
The Corrigan Solari Faculty Fellowship Award is given each year by the UO Libraries to honor deserving library faculty members for their noteworthy contributions to the university, the region, and the international community of scholars. Funded by an endowment from Richard and Mary Corrigan Solari, the award includes $3,000 in support of each recipient's continued professional development, and the recipients' names are added to a plaque placed in the lobby of Knight Library.
Tom Stave
Since coming to Oregon in 1980, Tom Stave has taken time to seek out hard-to-find publications by local governments, such as city and county land use plans that are of great use for researchers, working to make them accessible using various approaches, from initiating cataloging projects to archiving resources in Scholars' Bank.
Those who work with Stave laud him for being an excellent classroom teacher. In fact, he is among the most in-demand instructors and teaches to the widest variety of departments on this campus. This comes as no surprise to one of his colleagues, who said of Stave, "He is not only a great role model for the librarians he works with; he also he takes an active interest in training and mentoring his classified staff, interns, and student workers."
In addition to his many achievements in the realm of providing access to government documents, Stave has recently been recognized at the national level by being awarded the 2007 ALA/GODORT's Bernadine Abbott Hoduski Founders Award for his significant contributions to the field of state, international, local, or federal documents. Said one colleague of Stave, "His thorough knowledge of documents collections across Oregon makes him a crucial hub for referring questions, and he is praised for both his knowledge and his approachability when asked to track down an elusive document."
Ed Teague
In addition to his work in editing and contributing to myriad publications since his arrival at UO Libraries in 2001, Ed Teague has also been heavily involved with the Digital Images Collection. A signature accomplishment during his tenure at UO has been his leadership in facilitating the use of digital images for research and instruction. As chair of the Digital Images in Instruction Initiative, he engineered a process that brought about the appropriate staffing, technical infrastructure, and acquisitions to expand access to digital images.
One of Teague's current projects is Building Oregon, an image database of Oregon architecture including digitized slides from AAA Library's gift collections and the State Historic Preservation Office. This database, for which Teague gathered support from the Architecture Foundation of Oregon, the State Historic Preservation Office, the Society of Architectural Historians, and the library's Development Office, has recently gone online with an initial set of 8,000 images.
Teague also participates in many professional organizations. He is currently president of the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians and president-elect of the Association of Architecture School Librarians. As a member of the American Library Association, he has served as chair of the ACRL Arts Section and is currently Planning Committee chair for that group. As chair of the Art Libraries Society of North America's Task Force on Collaboration, his years as vice president and president of ARLIS/NA were praised by one colleague as being among "the best managed and best organized" periods in the society's history.
