The American Library Association is seeking nominees for the eighth annual Virginia
Boucher/OCLC Distinguished ILL Librarian award which recognizes and honors a

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

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
