Marianne Alcorn: dedicated, tenacious, beloved

Marianne Alcorn
Marianne Alcorn, a dedicated and tenacious law librarian who served the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law for 30 years as Head of Reference and Faculty Services, died Dec. 26, after a nearly two-year battle with cancer. She was 59.
"Marianne Alcorn was, in many respects, the heart and soul of this law school," said Dean Paul Schiff Berman. "Because I arrived only 2½ years ago, I did not get to know Marianne as well as many at the College of Law, but it was clear to me even in the short time I knew her how much Marianne loved the law school and was devoted to its research enterprise, its outreach to alumni, and the preservation of its unique history."
The College of Law is establishing a scholarship in Marianne's name. To contribute, you can write a check to the ASU Foundation with "Marianne Alcorn Scholarship" in the memo line and mail it to the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, Office of Institutional Advancement, Arizona State University, P.O. Box 879901, Tempe, AZ 85287-9901. An online link to donate will be posted soon.

Marianne just loved being a law librarian, and she was well known through out the local, regional and national law library communities as a leader in cutting edge faculty services. She had exacting standards when it came to providing reference service to faculty and students, and she expected and exacted that same level of service of everyone around her. I will remember Marianne for her dedication to her profession and to the ASU College of Law as well as for her enthusiasm and humor. I will miss her every day.

Marianne was a great friend to the Office of Communications. Our office was just two doors down from hers, and she often would pop in to share a good story or to report that she'd performed yet another miracle for us and had found something that we'd requested, usually just moments before. We loved talking about our brilliant sons, and laughing about various goings-on at the law school. But when a faculty member or student needed her, she was ALL business, and we took second fiddle, just as it should have been. I miss her.
