Subject: ALCTS Outstanding Collaboration Citation -- DEC 1 deadline

Dear Colleagues,

DEC 1 is fast approaching.  Your application does not need to be a 
literary work, but a sufficient explanation of a collaborative effort to

help us in our work.  I'm confident there are projects, activities, etc.

that are deserving recognition, so please do tell me about them!

New Award: ALCTS Outstanding Collaboration Citation

   ALCTS Outstanding Collaboration Citation recognizes and encourages 
collaborative problem-solving efforts in the areas of acquisition, 
access, management, preservation or archiving of library materials. It 
recognizes a demonstrated benefit from actions, services, or products 
that improve and benefit providing and managing library collections. The

citation may be presented to two or more individuals or groups who have 
participated jointly in an appropriate achievement. Accomplishments that

expose problems may be as valuable as successes. The citation will be 
presented in a year when an achievement of merit has occurred. 
Recognized forms of collaboration must be between library personnel and 
other individuals or groups such as: publishers, vendors, cultural 
organizations, government agencies, philanthropic organizations, and the

like. Results of a collaborative effort must demonstrate advancement in 
collection management or technical services working environments.

   Examples (descriptive, not inclusive):

- Development of industry standards (licensing, COUNTER, technology)

- Breaking barriers to enable budget conscientious actions (inflation 
control, setting serials pricing far enough in advance of renewals, 
cooperative cataloging or preservation initiatives)

- Innovative publications products or services that meet an industry 
need (ERMI, first link resolver, software to enhance productivity or 
user access)

   The deadline for nominations and supporting materials is December 1, 
2006. For additional information, visit the ALCTS Web site at 
http://www.ala.org/alcts. ALCTS is a division of the American Library 
Association (ALA).

   Send nominations, along with written justification for the citation 
in terms of demonstrated outcomes in work achieved through actions, 
services, or products; how the achievement contributed to the 
fulfillment of needs in the work of collection management or technical 
services and any other factors relevant to the merit of the achievement 
and two letters of recommendation to Lauren Corbett, Citation Jury 
chair, lcorbet_at_emory.edu
