We are happy to announce Jean Michel as a New Library Specialist II in the Access Services Department of Green Library. While Jean is a new addition to the Loan Division, her friendly face is familiar to many of us. Jean's recent work involved daily visits to Green Library for the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavior Sciences. In her position with the CASBS, Jean was in charge of Interlibrary Loan services.

Before working at CASBS, Jean worked at Cabrillo College as a Learning Resources Assistant and at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center as a Library Specialist II. For many years, Jean was a self-employed owner of a crafts business that specialized in high-quality tapestry purses, vests, hats and accessories.

Jean majored in French Language Studies at both Foothill Community College and the University of Paris X. In addition to cycling to work, Jean enjoys Arts, languages, South. Indian Classical Dance, hiking, music and reading.

We are very fortunate to have Jean with us.

After 18 years of great service to the Stanford University Libraries, Nancy Jang retired on February 24. Her many colleagues and friends wished her a wonderful retirement and remembered her years of service in a farewell party on that day. Nancy now looks forward to pursuing her many interests. First on her schedule is a trip to Miami in March, followed very soon by a trip to Italy. We will miss Nancy's knowledge and good sense, we hope that her retirement is rewarding, and that she will come back to visit us often.
