The American Library Association is seeking nominees for the eighth
annual Virginia Boucher/OCLC Distinguished ILL Librarian award which
recognizes and honors a librarian for outstanding professional
achievement, leadership, and contributions to interlibrary loan and
document delivery through publication, during the previous two years,
of significant professional literature, participation in professional
associations, and/or innovative approaches to practice in individual
libraries. Nominations must be submitted by Friday, December 15, 2006
to the award committee chair, Denise Forro, either by email, fax, or
snail mail - see the signature file at the end of this message for

The candidate must have been employed in a library and held some
responsibility for his or her institution's ILL, document delivery, or
resource sharing services at the time the contribution being honored
was made. Contributions supporting a nomination must have occurred
during the two years prior to the nomination deadline. The candidate's
achievement must be accomplished in one of the following areas:
1. Planning and implementing an innovative or pioneering approach to
ILL/document delivery service that is recognized as a model on a

which is deemed significant in the literature of the field.
3. A record of sustained, recognized, and exceptional participation in
