An era will end at Loyola University Chicago Law School in August when Francis R. "Bob" Doyle retires as Director of the Law Library, a post he has held for twenty-five years. Bob's career in law libraries began in 1955 at Harvard University. He also worked at the Middlesex County Law Library in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the University of California Berkely Boalt Hall Law Library before coming to Loyola. Bob has been active throughout his career in the American Association of Law Libraries, the Chicago Association of Law Libraries, and other regional chapters. Bob published three editions plus interim supplements of Searching the Law, and four editions plus interim supplements of Searching the Law, the States. He has written articles and bibliographies on library design, computer networking in libraries, drug testing, public school finance, and redlining.
Bob has been awarded the Outstanding Lifetime Achievement in Law Librarianship Award by the Chicago Association of Law Libraries. In July, the American Association of Law Libraries will present him with the Marian Gould Gallagher Distinguished Service Award at its Annual Meeting in Seattle.
We will all miss Bob, his unfailing generosity of spirit, his sense of humor, and his dedication. Please join us in thanking him for all his years of service and wishing Bob and his wife Nancy all the best in their next adventures.
