*Reminder:*

Second Annual: 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.

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,
