In a twist on the usual research process, a foreign law source has found the librarians instead of the reverse. The Monitorul Oficial al Romaniei (Romanian Official Gazette) of December 19, 2000, reports that Mirela Roznovschi and Radu Popa of the NYU Law Library were honored by outgoing President of Romania Emil Constantinescu for exceptional contributions from abroad in the service of Romanian culture and democracy. Mirela has been named an Officer of the National Order for Faithful Service and Radu has been named an Officer of the National Order of Merit. Radu worked as an editor in Romania and has published novels, short stories, translations, and literary criticism. Mirela worked as a journalist in Romania and has published novels and political commentary. Radu’s short story “Panic Syndrome” is scheduled for publication in the American journal Exquisite Corpse. His latest novel, La Revolutia Romana (Of the Romanian Revolution), was just published in Romania. Mirela’s latest novel, Timpul celor alesi (The Time of the Chosen Ones), published in 1999 in Romania, is under consideration to be published  in translation in France.
