Donation Honoring Jane Potter Gates

SAREP is pleased to announce the receipt of a donation for its Sustainable Agriculture Graduate Awards in honor of Jane Potter Gates. The donation was made by the Council on Botanical and Horticultural Libraries, Inc. (CBHL), which recently honored Gates with its Charles R. Long Distinguished Service Award. Gates has retired after 11 years with the Alternative Farming Systems Information Center (AFSIC) at the National Agricultural Library, the last seven of which she served as coordinator. CBHL is honoring Gate’s outstanding contributions to the field of botanical and horticultural libraries and literature, and noted at its awards ceremony that “under her leadership, AFSIC has grown and is one of our most successful information centers.”
