- Valeria Fike: College of DuPage Library, Glen Ellyn, IL Berry, John N., III Careers Community Colleges Librarians Academic Libraries Supervision Personality Ability In this article, the author profiles Valeria Fike, supervisor of reference support and College and Career Information Center services at the College of DuPage Library (CODL), Glen Ellyn, Illinois. Valeria Fike, who supervises some 21 paraprofessionals at CODL, modestly attributes her successful career there to her being "simply in the right place at the right time." She receives a torrent of kudos from her colleagues at CODL, all of whom say Fike was their first thought when "LJ"'s Paraprofessional of the Year Award showed up on their radar screens. Perusing the nomination letters from her fellow workers proves that Fike's personality, character, talents, and natural abilities were just as crucial. The author emphasizes that the most important quality of all was her willingness to spot and take advantage of every opportunity that came up at CODL and to encourage those who work with her to do the same.
