Tom Hanstra
Employee Recognition Winner 2001
Library jobs just aren't what they used to be. Many of our position
descriptions require talents and skills scarcely heard of five
years ago. The position description for our first award winner
includes requirements such as, ":must have significant knowledge
of CGI, NISO, SQL, NT, and TCP/IP" and "must be able to design,
implement, and manage authorization ans access control for the
ILS.". Luckily for us, this individual has demonstrated these
talents and more. Indeed this year, he was praised for doing what
others thought was quite impossible.
Working out of sight, supported by minuscule documentation,
and armed primarily with intelligence and unyielding determination,
this employee prepared the loader program for 14.2 and created
a 14.2 mask for our the public work stations. This mask allowed
the library to minimize the visibility of the transition from
12.2 to 14.2 to the users, thus allowing the Library to choose
the optimal time for the transition . Today we honor the
man behind the mask - Tom Hanstra.
