Pat Paul Initiated into Phi Kappa Phi

Patricia Paul was initiated into the honor society of Phi Kappa Phi on April 19, 1998. Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest, largest, and most prestigious of honor societies for students and faculty from all disciplines. Pat, who joined the Library Faculty in 1969, was chosen for her significant contributions to librarianship during her tenure at UWSP. Among her many efforts were her service as Head of the Cataloging Dept. where she planned and designed the retrospective conversion project, which paved the way for the revolution in the use of technology in the University Library. As well, she served as Automation Project manager from 1985-1990, where she was responsible for the planning, coordination, evaluation, and administration of LS/2000. Her contributions as Information Coordinator since 1994 have helped to keep us sane and on-track as we are buffeted by the winds of technological change.
