Aimee has worked in libraries and government information for over 20 years and is an assistant editor of Government Information Quarterly. She is also a former chair of GODORT and has served on numerous GODORT committees.
Aimée's research focus is on the Serial Set as an illustration of U.S. information policy over time, and her goal is to develop a more structured analysis of the publication history of the Serial Set. This idea was a project sponsored by the Rare and Endangered Government Publications Committee. The Reynolds Award will provide the funds to travel to and do research at the Senate Library and the University of Idaho Library. These two libraries have fairly complete holdings, but different versions, of this publication. The research will be used in the creation of a book about the Serial Set and its presence in research and scholarship.
This grant will give Aimée an opportunity to focus on writing and working with contributors to the book. Her contribution to the book will be in the introduction, which will be about the origins of the Serial Set and why it is of such importance to scholarship and librarianship. Aimée has graciously offered the proceeds from the book to go to GODORT. Promotion and discussions of the book will take place through presentations at the Federal Depository Library Conference and possibly other conferences. Several of the contributors plan to discuss their work at their own professional conferences, fostering the book's impact across multiple disciplines.
