Web designer Tom DeForest and business librarians Leticia Camacho and Andy Spackman are named on the award.

“Everyone knows that our business and accounting schools are highly thought of,” said Roger Layton, BYU library communications manager, “but the library is happy to note that our business librarians are doing just as well in their role of supporting faculty and students.
