With over 40 years of dedicated service to Boise State University and Albertsons Library, Beth played an integral role in the development and delivery of many of the library&#8217;s systems and services. Her most recent role was Application Administrator, where her expertise, precision, and commitment positively impacted countless students and colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beth was a respected and cherished member of the library community, known for her deep institutional knowledge, unwavering dedication, and generous support of others. She worked in nearly every unit within the library and was part of its evolution through multiple remodels and major transitions. Beth mentored and supervised countless student employees, always willing to share her experience and wisdom. Her presence shaped the culture of the library, and her influence will continue to be felt for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We invite those who knew Beth to share their memories and reflections through this <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSfYpR7mTVGsZ24HP1YCy43pIz1U61XTIPF4HXPjVz65bNF8og\/viewform?usp=send_form\">online form<\/a>. Stories collected will be shared with her family as a way to honor her life and lasting impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Celebration of Life will be held on November 5, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., on the second floor of Albertsons Library (CID space). All are welcome to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beth is deeply missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With deep sadness, Albertsons Library shares that Elizabeth &#8220;Beth&#8221; Allen passed away on September 27,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3472,"featured_media":17498,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[2535,2799,2531],"class_list":["post-17497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-albertsons-library","tag-boise-state","tag-boise-state-university"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.2 (Yoast SEO v28.2) -
