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, 
2007. 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 
Gracemary Smulewitz,
