As the Area Studies Library Liaison in the University Library System, I was in frequent contact with Alberta from the early 1990s until she left the European Studies Center. There is no reason to recount Alberta's well-known professional accomplishments. She was special in her humility, as well as her respect for and kindness to those she worked with. I have met few people with her combination of level of accomplishment and personal qualities.
