Dec. 17, 2005 - Former UW-Madison SLIS professor Margaret Monroe dies at the age of 90.

April 22, 2006--Henriette Avram, the leader of the Library of Congress team that invented MARC, Machine Readable Cataloging, died. See the obituary at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/04/27/AR2006042702105_pf.html
