New Award: 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,
2006. 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 Lauren Corbett, Citation Jury Chair, lcorbet_at_emory.edu
