Spotlight on Tony Stankus, Science Librarian Extraordinaire

I recently reconnected with Tony Stankus, Professor, Life Sciences Librarian & Science Coordinator at the University of Arkansas Libraries. He has held this position since 2007. Prior to that he was Science Librarian at the College of the Holy Cross. He has distinguished himself by writing 10 books and over 160 articles in the field of library science. Since his undergraduate major was in modern foreign languages, a person not educated in the physical or life sciences can distinguish himself in science librarianship. I last saw Tony at the Trisociety Symposium in Boston in August 1998. Below is a partial list of his publications. I should try to catch up on my professional reading.
