Thanks to Lucia Snowhill

The CDL would like to thank Lucia Snowhill, UCSB Librarian, for her enormous contribution to the conversion of the RLG and OCLC Z39.50 databases to the Web interface (RLG: Anthropological Literature, Avery Index to Architecture Periodicals, Chicano, ESTC, HSCI, and RLIN Bibliographic File; OCLC: ArtAbstracts, MLA, and WorldCat; Stanford: GeoRef).  For the past two years Lucia has helped CDL staff translate each database from Telnet into Web format.  She has advised our programmers and worked with our Digital Library Services staff, providing all the details of the search functions that users need to see.  She has tried to maintain consistency between the Telnet and Web versions of each database, despite the obvious differences in the user/system interfaces.  She has proofed and corrected our pages and pages of documentation with unflagging energy, and has clarified our tasks.  And she has tried to satisfy all the particular requests of the various advisory committees to make each database as completely functional as possible in our interface.  We simply could not have completed the task without her.
