The ELUNA community is saddened to learn of the passing of Christine Moulen, library systems manager at the MIT Libraries.
Christine was an expert advocate for the user community and an ELUNA supporter. She received the Azriel Morag Award for Innovation from Ex Libris in 2016 due to her contributions to the Aleph community. From the award citation:
Christine has been an important member of the Aleph community for many years.
Christine was chosen for her above-and-beyond, ongoing contribution to the Aleph community, including popular contributions to the Developer Network.
Christine has helped other Aleph users worldwide through the Global Aleph Users list.
Of the most valuable contributions to the Global Aleph Users list that we have tracked since 2008, Christine has written 216 of them (about 20%), many in the past two years, on a wide range of topics. Her answers are carefully thought-out, authoritative, and universally considered by Aleph users to be worthy of their attention.…
“Christine’s innovation is not a one-time creation. It is her day-after-day, week-after-week, year-after-year gift of brilliant and innovative answers and solutions to the Aleph user community.”
Christine’s institution, the MIT Libraries, published a story with more information on the career of this Aleph and Ex Libris user community leader.
