While looking for electronic books to add to the NJIT Library catalog I found:
Technology in Libraries: Essays in Honor of Anne Grodzins Lipow. Ed. Roy Tennant. Morrisville, NC: Lulu.com, 2008. N. pag. Web. 4 Dec. 2009. <http://techinlibraries.com/>
In 2003 Anne was the keynote speaker at the VALE annual meeting. The title of her talk was Beyond the Horseless Carriage: Re-professionalizing our work. I remember her saying that the job of a reference librarian should also be professional. Sadly Anne passed away in 2004 at age 69. An obituary may be found at http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2004/09/12/MNLIPOWANN35.DTL
I just read one chapter of this book titled "The Legacy of Anne Lipow" by Karen Schneider. I will try to read the rest of the book over a period of time.

Thank you for noticing this. The untimely passing of Anne was a major blow not just to her family and friends, but to the profession as a whole. We lost a true champion, and an amazing and unique individual. She lives on in my career and the careers of many others, and thus her impact on the profession will be impossible to calculate but undoubtedly profound.
