xxiii Acknowledgments Special thanks go to Suzanne Bell, the author of the first four editions of this book. Suzanne has been a tremendous encouragement to me as I take over “her baby” and has offered much input and made many suggestions throughout the process. I know I cannot adequately fill her shoes and the path she has so clearly set forth in the previous editions of this book. I also thank the hundreds of students I have had in the classes I have taught since 1999 through the University of Denver’s Library and Informa- tion Science program. They have clarified the way I teach database searching and continually kept me on my toes. Kim Dority has been an encouragement for two decades, first as an instructor in the university’s LIS program and also as being the one who introduced me to Barbara Ittner of Libraries Unlimited. The University of Denver’s Main Library, where I have worked since 1999, provided ample leave time, including a summer sabbatical, to allow for completion of this book.
