The State Library of Ohio is pleased to announce that SEO Library Director Diana Clark, Computer Operations Supervisor Sharon Garrett-Hayes and Network Administration Supervisor John Stewart have received the Governor’s Award for Employee Excellence. Governor Kasich presented the award during a recent ceremony<http://library.ohio.gov/sites/default/files/OhioGovernor-Award-ProgramNov2013.pdf> at the Ohio Statehouse. (see photo<http://library.ohio.gov/Marketing/PR/2013/November#Award>)

The Governor’s Award for Employee Excellence recognizes accomplishments which have:

  *   Resulted in improved methods or procedures that resulted in significant increased productivity, cost-savings or revenue enhancements, efficiency, or service to the state,
  *   Had an agency-wide impact, multi-agency or statewide impact,
  *   Significantly impacted the general public or the life, safety or property of another (others), and
  *   Have significantly enhanced the image, prestige or effectiveness of the state.

"We are very proud of the work the staff of the SEO Library Center does and are pleased the Governor recognized the staff with this award.  Only 55 state employees have been honored with this award so it is quite an accomplishment," said State Librarian Beverly Cain.

Clark, Garrett-Hayes and Stewart led an effort that saved $1.75 million in software licensing costs for Ohio libraries.  The Serving Every Ohioan Library Center, a division of the State Library located in Caldwell, is a consortium of 86 library systems, plus the Serving Every Ohioan Library Center itself, which supports 198 library locations across 45 Ohio counties. The center completed a large software upgrade that streamlines library services for approximately 926,000 registered borrowers. They completed this extensive upgrade in addition to their regular duties without incurring overtime costs.
