When E. Lingle Craig passed away in 2001, Beverly Bly, who was the Executive Director of the IU Libraries at the time, penned his memorial for the staff newsletter. Like all stories written about the man who spent 49 years serving Indiana University Libraries, Bloomington, she spoke of his quiet nature and dedication to his work in Reference, where he was the Head Reference librarian from 1939 to 1970. With his passing, she noted, he left a gift to the Libraries to be divided into an “internship” and preservation. Lastly, she added, “He was a remarkable man who loved his work and the Library and Indiana University with all his being."
E. Lingle Craig would be pleased to know his “internship” is a fellowship that offers Information and Library Science students experiential learning. On top of working a reference desk, each Fellow proposes and follows through on a public service project that enhances IUL services. The following graduate students are recipients of this honor:
