Helping Hand Nominees -- Individual Category
Awarded to the person who has gone out of their way to help a fellow UGA Libraries employee in a unique situation of unusual stress. This concerns how the nominee went outside of normal work expectations in a specific instance for the benefit of the UGA Libraries mission as a whole and the benefit of a specific employee in the particular situation.
Reference Department
What was the specific situation that required special/emergency help?
I was charged with converting the draconian employee newsletter into a web-based format. Despite the best classes offered at training and development, this would never have happened without the capable assistance of Amy Watts.
How did the nominee help you in the situation you described in the previous question's answer?
Amy used her dreamweaver, firestarter, puddle-jumper and photoshop skills, along with her teaching talent to guide me along. And all this while holding my hand!
What was the outcome of the aforementioned situation?
I survived this transition without tears, lost clumps of hair or broken office furniture. Without her, nothing would have happened!
What else do you think the ASSET Awards Committee should know about your
nominee?
Amy continues to lend me a helping hand on Update. I greatly appreciate her taking the time out from her other web, reference and teaching duties to work with me and help me learn better, faster and prettier ways to do things.
