Please join us in congratulating Leah McEwen, Chemistry Librarian at Cornell.  Leah has been appointed to the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry Committee on Publications and Cheminformatics Data Standards by being elected one of only 10 Titular Members of the Division Committee chosen by the Titular Members, Associate Members, and National Representatives.  This prestigious honor comes with paid travel expenses to committee meetings mostly held in Europe and rarely given to librarians.  She was sponsored for this position by several CINF colleagues and a Cornell faculty member active in IUPAC.  The assignment fits directly into her research on the future of chemical information and the role of chemistry librarians contributing to the long-term stewardship of chemical information (and her own personal long-time goal to actively participate in IUPAC).

Well deserved!
