ABOUT THE GEORGE MANDEL LECTURE

The annual George Mandel lecture honors the memory of George Mandel, a
member of
the aerospace industry library community for 30 years. George served many
years in the Special Libraries Association Cleveland Chapter in many roles.
He continued to offer professional guidance to chapter members throughout
his career. George had a keen feeling for professionalism and continuing
