2020 President's Staff Award for Excellence Winner:
Elizabeth (Bitten) Skartvedt
Elizabeth (Bitten) Skartvedt’s work as the Course Reserves and Streaming Media Specialist in the Broome Library plays a significant role in promoting student equity on campus. She coordinates the library’s print reserves service which provides students with the use of textbooks on short loan, many of which some students are unable to afford and have access to otherwise. Bitten plays a hidden, yet critical role in the Open CI efforts, where she assists with utilization of library materials in some zero cost courses, furthering student equitable access to information that is integral to their learning experience.
Bitten embodies library values of free access to information, equity for all, supporting the right to learn, and encouraging lifelong learning. She is an exemplary employee who embraces the University’s mission and her commitment to student success makes a difference in the everyday lives of our students.
