    Newsletter for Friends of the University of Illinois Library at Urbana-Champaign Winter 2016–17 | Volume 38 | Number 2 LIBRARY.ILLINOIS.EDU/FRIENDS Investitures Honor and Celebrate Three Library Professors he University Library was fortunate to host not one, but three special events to recognize extraordinary faculty and their accomplishments. TIn ceremonies this past fall, Christopher J. Prom, William H. Mischo, and Clara M. Chu were formerly invested in their positions. These professorships serve as lasting tributes to the donors who established them. Christopher J. Prom was honored as the third Andrew S. G. Turyn Endowed Professor at an investiture ceremony on September 16, 2016. Prom, who serves as the assistant university archivist, has led many initiatives over the past 16 years to make archival materials more accessible at Illinois and at other archives and libraries. His research describes the ways in which archival users seek information and assesses methods that archivists use to efficiently meet user needs. The Andrew S. G. Turyn Endowed Professorship was Andrew S. G. Turyn Endowed Professor established through a significant gift from the estate of Christopher J. Prom former librarian, alumnus, and longtime Library Friend Andrew S. G. Turyn. Offered on a five-year rotating basis, it is open to full professors of library administration who are pursuing innovative research in any scholarly area, including library and information science, the Uncover and Discover Uncover humanities, the sciences, the social sciences, the arts, and other fields. The professorship enhances the Library’s services, programs, and reputation by recognizing and fostering significant research contributions of its faculty.
