Since January 2019, I observed Diana's dedication to conducting an inventory and organizing the IS Lab collection, including supervising students' work in assisting with the bibliographic control of the collection. In the process, she identified some important works on cataloging missing, which I ended up donating a copy to be added to the collection. I was impressed with her undertaking this work, and noticed her working closely with the students performing that work. In addition, Diana has been active in requesting recommendations for resources to be added to the collection. I have benefited from her work and support to my classes in her position as the Director of the IS Lab and have appreciated her assistance.

My use of the IS Lab was limited to consultations with Dr. Ascher about how to best organize data, assessment, and associated reports so I can not comment on the organization of the lab and lab resources. She is an excellent reference source about data.

Dr. Ascher reached out to myself and a colleague about an archival collection being stewarded by the IS Lab. We were more than happy to discuss best practices. It was refreshing to be consulted at the front end of such a project and exciting that the IS Lab is willing to devote time and resources to effective stewardship of archival material.

Dr. Ascher has made the group work area of the lab available for unconventional teaching activities, such as emergency preparedness activities involving water. She has been attentive and accumulated needed supplies without prompting, greatly facilitating class instruction. She has also worked hard on committees we both were part of, performing time consuming and extremely important data analysis on the IS Department.

The IS Lab's library has been isolated from the rest of the UCLA library systems, and Dr. Ascher has expended considerable and dedicated effort to help integrate it more effectively into the campus-wide system of resources. I was extremely heartened to learn that the collection is moving in the direction of being a circulating one—a long-overdue change! And her wise decision to turn the similarly long-overdue shelf-reading project into a teaching opportunity that involved current students in a hands-on project that conveyed marketable skills was nothing short of inspired. In the time that Dr. Ascher has been in her position, she has transformed the Lab from a radically underused facility to one of the hubs of departmental activity. Students use it for work, study, meetings, and projects, and find her a ready resource for help of all kinds.

The Department could use two or three more people like her. In the time the Dr. Ascher has been employed by the department, there has been a string of events that have put significant and extraordinary demands on her time (ALA accreditation review, leadership changes, periodic review of the department by Grad Division, loss of key staff...). I can only imagine what Dr. Ascher could accomplish if she were not so overburdened, and had time and space in the day to generate visionary new ideas and plans.

I have been extremely happy and surprised by the dedication she has shown toward developing the collections and services of the lab to support the curriculum particularly in the area of youth services and libraries.  The creation of the youth space/collections and its expansion to include the multicultural and storytelling resources has been invaluable to the success of those courses.

As the person who supports use of the Library catalog and other software outside the Library domain, I have seen the IS Lab in the past, and felt it was somewhat underutilized.  As soon as Dr. Ascher started, she made a concerted effort to find out what Library resources were available to her, the IS Lab, and GSEIS students.  She is showing considerable tenacity in her quest to learn and make full use of all the resources available, working with both Library IT and GSEIS IT and adapting to virtualization software when needed (virtual desktops to run Windows software such as the Library catalog clients).  We have discussed other possible future technology ideas for the IS lab, which I consider to be much more accessible and inviting now, due to her efforts on many levels. I fully support her promotion, and look forward to seeing how the IS Lab continues to evolve under Dr. Ascher’s leadership.

I wholly support Dr. Ascher's promotion to Full Librarian with Career status. She is an asset to the department. She has been exceptionally helpful to me during my past year in the program and I know I am not alone. Her knowledge base is varied and when there was a particular question for which she thought there might be a better person to ask, she did not hesitate to assist me in finding that person. She has helped me navigate the many resources that the lab has to offer and led workshops that have been invaluable.

Before Dr. Ascher started I didn't know there was an IS Lab, let alone one that was interested in embracing cutting edge technologies and research methods that are high impact for professional growth. She's a great addition to the I School.

expertise

Long story, short: Dr. Diana Ascher is a pleasure to work with and I find her guidance instrumental in my academic career and future career aspirations. She is always approachable and willing to assist on any type of project, given her expertise. From the perspective of a student who is on the Informatics specialization track, I feel that she can help give me extra instruction and guidance that would complement the Informatics specialization as a whole. It is with this in mind that I have recommended Dr. Ascher to other students who would benefit from her guidance and expertise. Lastly, I feel that Dr. Ascher is currently fulfilling one of the objectives from the Strategic Goals and Plans of the IS department, "Recruit, support and inspire exceptional faculty, staff and students who will use their expertise and passion to move the information fields forward as knowledge developers, service providers, change agents, innovators and educators." With all this being said, I would recommend Dr. Diana Ascher to be promoted to a full Librarian with Career status.

My experience with Dr. Ascher has been creative and collaborative while I learned many things about how to provide access to information while archiving it within the concerns of data management policies.

I wholeheartedly support Dr. Ascher's promotion to Full Librarian with Career status.

I have had nothing but positive experiences in my interactions with Dr. Ascher and fully support her promotion to Librarian with Career status. Through her work, she is successfully integrating the IS Lab into the larger UCLA Library infrastructure after years of it operating in a silo. She has reached out to LSC about archival stewardship best practices, to CCDT about digitizing a collection, and actively participates in library workshops and trainings. I am glad to have her as a colleague and look forward to finding more ways to collaborate in the future.

I fully support Dr. Ascher's promotion to Full Librarian with Career status. She has already made significant changes to the IS Lab within a short period of time.

Her enthusiasm and passion to both envison and create change are a great asset to the GSE&IS community.

I support Dr. Ascher's promotion to full librarian with career status. In the project I did with her, she saw a unique opportunity for IS students to engage with the library in a new way, and to teach them skills they will need in the workplace. We got the project going quickly thanks to Diana's help. I also worked with Diana several times with other library systems, such as getting the IS Lab listed as an affiliate location of the UCLA Library, and getting her started with LibGuides. I've been at UCLA for 10 years and have never seen a director of the lab be so engaged with the rest of the Library and librarians. She is responsive, helpful, competent, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. I fully support her promotion.
