In his nomination, Scott Cohen, Library Director at Jackson State Community College wrote

Mary Ellen Pozzebon convened a group of librarians from throughout the state and from all types of libraries to discuss resource sharing using Lyrasis as an agent for brokering discounts.  She moderated the meeting and arranged for future deliberations.

From this initial meeting, a great groundswell of interest ensued which has resulted in the Tennessee Consortial Purchase Project through Tenn-Share.  Mary Ellen has continued with her work in resource sharing as the Tennessee Academic Library representative for the Consortial Project. It is through her initial effort and continued work that the Project has moved forward.
