We recently received word from James Duggan, Professor and Director of Information Technology, Southern Illinois University School of Law Library, the sad news of the passing of his colleague Kathy Garner. James tell us:
I am saddened to inform the law library community of the death of Kathy Garner, emerita Associate Professor at Southern Illinois University School of Law Library. She died Thursday, June 23, 2005 at her home in Carbondale after battling cancer for two months.
While at SIU, Kathy taught legal research and was a member of the lawyering skills faculty. She published articles in Law Library Journal and SIU Law Journal, and was assistant editor for publications on water law and legal research teaching. She was a past chair of Legal Information Services to the Public Special Interest Section (LISP-SIS) and was a member of the Illinois Bar, AALL, ABA, and the Mid-America Association of Law Libraries.
She retired from SIU in 1999 after fourteen years of service. Kathy received her law degree with honors from SIU in 1983, where she was Managing Editor of SIU Law Journal. She also held a B.A. in English Literature from the University of Oregon, and a Master of Librarianship from the University of Washington.
She is survived by two children and three grandchildren. Donations may be made to the Carbondale Women's Center, 408 West Freeman, Carbondale, IL 62901.
