Electra Collins Doren (1861-1927), born in Georgetown, Ohio〔Herringshaw, Thomas. ''Herringshaw's American Blue Book Of Biography: Prominent Americans of 1915''. American Publisher's Association, 1915, p. 381.〕 and often referred to as Electra C. Doren, was a suffragette and library scientist. She began work at the Dayton Metro Library, known at the time as the Dayton Public Library, in 1879 at the age of 18. In 1897 she became the library system's director and instituted a number of new programs including a school library department, a library training school and a reorganization that saw titles for the first time filed using the Dewey Decimal System.〔 Following her work at the Dayton Public Library, Doren left Dayton in 1905 and became the director of the Western Reserve University Library School. Following the Great Dayton Flood (part of the Great Flood of 1913), she returned to Dayton for a time, where she aided library staff in recovering items damaged by the flood, allowing the library to reopen just three months after the flood waters receded. Doren later founded the Ohio Library Association, serving for a year as its president, and was a vice president with the American Library Association. As a suffragette, Doren collected materials related to women's suffrage for her library work, which later formed the basis for the Dayton Metro Library’s Women’s Suffrage Collection, which hosts the largest collection of materials on the topic in the United States. For her efforts related to suffrage and libraries, she was inducted into the Ohio Women's Hall of Fame, the Ohio Library Hall of Fame and the Dayton Walk of Fame.〔〔 The Electra C. Doren branch library of the Dayton Metro Library system (once shortened as "E.C. Doren") is named in her honor.〔〔(Dayton Metro Library locations - Electra C. Doren )〕 ==Notes and references==
