Bobray Bordelon

2017 William H. Flanigan Award for Distinguished Service as an ICPSR Official Representative

Bobray Bordelon is a long-time, active ICPSR Official Representative, who has been a knowledgeable and effective promoter of ICPSR's data and other resources. Since 2014, he has co-taught the workshop on Providing Social Sciences Data Services, which also gives him direct experience and insights into the Summer Program workings in a way that few ORs have. Bordelon is a respected Data & Economics Librarian at Princeton, as well as in the wider professional spheres of ALA, ACRL, and IASSIST, which should bring a broad perspective from these important areas. His knowledge of the variety of data sources, and his willingness to share this expertise with the data community speaks to his commitment to public service.

Bordelon has a BS in Finance and Masters in Library & Information Science from Louisiana State University and an MBA from New Mexico State University. His professional interests involve service to state, national, and international organizations while promoting subject content and knowledge and its access.
