Do you know someone whose work represents the finest achievements and leadership in collaboration and innovation? Celebrate their accomplishments by submitting a nomination to the 2016 ProQuest Coutts Award for Innovation in Electronic Resources Management!
The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) honors an individual and/or group whose electronic resources management achievements could include, but are not limited to:
* Building and managing new types of electronic collections and materials
* Addressing selection issues and processes for electronic resources
* Creating effective organizational structures for the workflow management and development of electronic resource collections
* Increasing visibility, discovery and user access to electronic library resources
Past award winners include:
* Jill Emery & Graham Stone for their work on the TERMS (Techniques for Electronic Resource Management) and OAWAL (Open Access Workflows for Academic Libraries) projects, which crowd-sourced the creation of best practices for managing electronic resources, and exemplify innovative practices for the worldwide library community.
* Marie Kennedy for her work as the principal investigator of the Collaborative Marketing for Electronic Resources project (100 participants from 32 academic institutions) training librarians on creating a marketing plan for electronic resources, which later led to the book, Marketing Your Library's Electronic Resources.
The award is presented during the American Library Association Annual Conference, and the recipient receives a citation and a $2,000 award generously donated by ProQuest Coutts Information Services.
