Colleagues:

Yes, the subject line is correct.  Fame (public recognition and a giant 
plaque) and Fortune ($1500).  That's what awaits one of your staff or 
peers or a nominated group whose application you put forward to the 
awards committee.  As a member of that ALCTS committee and with my two 
colleagues, we will select the 2009 winner of the Leadership in Library 
Acquisitions Award.  So, instead of shopping on Black Friday, why not 
work on the final touches to a nomination for one you feel is deserving 
of recognition?!
