libraries.  Nominations must be submitted by Saturday, December 15, 2007

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

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

contact information for the nominee. 

       The award consists of $2,000. plus a citation.  Again, the
