When Aagaard officially retired in April, his library coworkers organized a celebration to honor his legacy and created a Wikipedia page to commemorate his greatest contribution -- the Northwestern Online Total Integrated System (NOTIS) -- an online cataloging system that revolutionized the way libraries manage their collections.
