Anne Grodzins Lipow

Anne Lipow (February 27, 1935 – September 9, 2004) was a prominent librarian who worked at the University of California, Berkeley Libraries.

[7] The first event that her newly founded Library Solutions Institute offered was a full-day of hands-on Internet training for librarians, in June 1992.

[8] Scheduled to coincide with the annual conference of The American Library Association in San Francisco, it was held over two days in Berkeley, for two different cohorts of trainees.

This workshop required Anne and her colleagues John Ober and Roy Tennant to develop handouts describing various Internet protocols and services.

Her publications on the changing nature of reference work in libraries were very influential, and led to invited speaking engagements around the world.
