Achterman honored
Twenty alumni of the University of North Texas who graduated from what is now the Department of Library and Information Sciences received awards from the Library and Information Sciences Alumni Society for outstanding professional achievement and service to their communities, states or the nation, including San Benito High School’s Doug Achterman.
The awards were given in conjunction with the 70th anniversary of the academic program in library and information science being offered on the UNT campus. In 1939, the Department of Library Service began offering instruction in librarianship at what was then North Texas State Teachers College. The department became part of NTSTC’s College of Arts and Sciences during the 1940s, and became its own school – the School of Library and Information Sciences – in 1971.
Nine alumni who have received their degrees during the last 10 years were recognized with Rising Star Awards, including Achterman, who is the library media teacher at the high school and an adjunct instructor at San Jose State University.
The Library and Information Sciences Alumni Society gave 20 awards to those who graduated from the degree programs formerly offered by SLIS.
Ten alumni who received their degrees before 1999 were recognized with Platinum Star Awards.
All of the alumni were honored at a dinner sponsored by the Library and Information Sciences Alumni Society during the Texas Library Association annual conference held in Houston.
