ALLUNY – Association of Law Libraries of Upstate New York

ALLUNY member Beth Adelman was awarded the rank of SUNY Distinguished Librarian, the first librarian at the University At Buffalo to receive this honor. Distinguished ranks are the highest rank in the state university system. Distinguished faculty serve as role models and give lectures and seminars, inform curricular reform, improve the overall academic experience of students, mentor junior faculty, and lead inquiry into issues of importance to SUNY and society. Once promoted, faculty are also inducted into the greater Distinguished Academy. 

 Warmest congratulations to Beth!!
