Kathy Winters will retire on January 29, 2016 after 19 years
of service at the UW-Stout University Library. Kathy joined the library staff
in January 1997 and has
continually served the needs of campus students, staff and faculty.
As the Standing Orders/Electronic Resources Guru, Kathy works
behind the scenes to make sure you all have access to the electronic resources
in the library – article databases, e-books, streaming videos.
Kathy started out her career at the UW-Stout Library while she was a student. In her classes she noticed a need for scanned handouts instead
of paper copies. She took this idea and ran with it; creating a scanning
service for faculty. She would scan their handouts and readings so they could
be housed in the course management system. It grew to include scanning for
disability services.
Kathy Winters is a great colleague to library staff, and
mentor to the students she supervised. We will miss her sense of humor,
fun-loving spirit and willingness to lend a hand.
