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 education in the library world. 

At the time of his death in 1989, George Mandel was the chief of the Technical Information Services Division at the NASA Lewis Research Center, now Glenn Research Center. He also served as chairman of the SLA Aerospace Division in 1977-78 and, as a project chair, was also the driving force behind the compilation and publishing of the NASA N Numbers to DoD AD Numbers.
