Sharon A. Hogan Endowed Scholarship
(Oct 2002) One of the last acts of Sharon Hogan (AMLS '68), an influential national figure in librarianship and higher education, was to quietly arrange to help future generations of SI students at the School of Information. Hogan established the Sharon A. Hogan Endowed Scholarship Fund at SI and another fund at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) at the time she learned of her illness. Ms. Hogan, 57, died April 27, 2002 in Arizona. She was vice provost for information management and university librarian at UIC, where she worked since 1990.
A champion of copyright, free speech, privacy, and other legislative issues affecting libraries and information systems, Ms. Hogan testified before the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs on the E-Government Act of 2001 regarding technology and access issues. She received the Intellectual Freedom Award from the Illinois Library Association for criticizing Internet filters and for opposing state legislation that would have let individual counties set obscenity standards, hampering interlibrary loans across county lines. She co-authored one of the landmark books in bibliographic instruction, Learning the Library (Bowker, 1982) and was founding editor of one of the first journals in this field, Research Strategies.
Ms. Hogan taught one of the first bibliographic instruction credit courses for graduate students at the U-M, where she held faculty appointments in both the School of Information and Library Studies and the Program in American Culture. Major honors included the Chinese American Librarians Association Presidential Recognition Award (1995), the Miriam Dudley Bibliographic Instruction Librarian of the Year Award from the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL, 1988), and the Distinguished Alumni Award from SI (1987). The Special Collections Room in UIC's Richard J. Daley Library has been named for her. Ms. Hogan was one of the founding members of the ACRL Bibliographic Instruction Section. She served as ACRL president and as chair of the bibliographic instruction section. She served the American Library Association and other organizations in a number of capacities.
