Dear Interlibrary Loan/Resource Sharing Colleagues: 

     This message is being cross-posted. Please feel free to post it to
other relevant listservs and to professional publications.

     The American Library Association is seeking nominees for the ninth
annual Virginia Boucher/OCLC Distinguished ILL Librarian award.  This award
recognizes and honors a librarian for outstanding professional achievement,
leadership, and contributions to interlibrary loan and document delivery
during the previous two years, through publication of significant
professional literature, participation in professional associations, and/or
innovative approaches to practice in individual libraries.  Nominations must
be submitted by Saturday, December 15, 2007 to the ALA RUSA STARS Boucher
Award Committee Chair, Suzanne Turner.  Nominations may be sent to Suzanne
by e-mail, fax, or by snail mail. See the signature file at the end of this
message for contact information. 

     The candidate must have been employed in a library and held some
responsibility for his/her institution's interlibrary loan, document
delivery, or resource sharing services at the time the contribution being
honored was made.  Contributions supporting a nomination must have occurred
during the two years prior to the nomination deadline. The candidate's
achievement must be demonstrated in at least one of the following areas: 

1.	Planning and implementing an innovative or pioneering approach to
ILL/document delivery service that is recognized as a model on a regional or
national level. 

2.	Notable publication (article, book, or conference paper) deemed
significant in the literature of the field. 

3.	A record of sustained, recognized, and exceptional participation in
regional, national, or international associations devoted to the promotion
of ILL/document delivery in a library environment.     

      Nominations take the form of a letter which includes a formal
statement of nomination with a rationale for the nomination. Also include a
resume of the candidate's career and achievements, as well as contact
information for the nominee. 

       The award consists of $2,000. plus a citation.  Again, the deadline
is Saturday, December 15, 2007, so nominate yourself or your colleagues now!
This is your opportunity to honor a colleague or co-worker.  Keep in mind
that if you were nominated in a previous year and were not selected, we
again welcome your nomination. 

       On behalf of the Boucher Award committee, thank you. Suzanne Turner
