by Kalleen Marquise on Aug 30, 2021

Every month ByWater Solutions recognizes a librarian that has made an impact on their library and community. We are happy to announce the August 2021 Librarian of the Month is Keely Ward, Research Manager at Holland & Knight.

Keely was nominated by members of the ByWater Solutions Team:

It is always a pleasure to talk with Keely and she brings such an infectious spirit to the open source community! She is an advocate for open source solutions and has been published and has presented on open source topics a number of times over the years. She's always working on innovative ways to increase access to information to the lawyers and researchers she works with. We're proud to know her and work with her"

Here are a few of the wonderful open source contributions Keely has made:

• Co-published an article about Making the Switch to Open Source
• Presented at the 2019 Koha Law Library Summit on Koha and Coral's Flexibility and Use in a Private Law Firm
• Was on a panel at the 2021 Virtual Koha Law Library Users Group at the AALL Conference
  

Keely commented, "I’m so honored! Thank you so much! The feeling is mutual – It is such a pleasure to work with the whole ByWater team."

Thank you, Keely, for all you do! And Congratulations!
