[ILL-L] Call for Submissions - Rethinking Resource Sharing Innovation Awards

[Beaubien, Anne]

The Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative was started to advocate for a
complete rethink of the way libraries conduct resource sharing in the
context of the global internet revolution. In order to showcase resource
sharing innovation, the Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative has
created an award to encourage libraries and librarians to make changes
in how they do resource sharing and improve service to users.

 

Up to three winning submissions will be awarded a cash prize of $1,000
each.  Recipients will be announced at the ALA RUSA STARS Rethinking
Resource Sharing ALA Preconference on June 27, 2008 in Anaheim, CA, and
also will be invited to present at the IFLA satellite preconference,
Rethinking Access to Information: Evolving Perspectives on Information
Content Delivery in Boston in August 2008.  Funding for the 2008
Innovation Awards was provided by the Alliance of Library Service
Networks www.librarynetworks.org <http://www.librarynetworks.org/> 

 

To be considered for the award, please submit a description of the
user-centric service change you have made that has improved resource
sharing in your library, consortium or state.  Full details for
submission can be found at www.rethinkingresourcesharing.org
<http://www.rethinkingresourcesharing.org/> .

 

The deadline for applications/nominations is May 15, 2008 (post-mark or
date of e-mail).

Submissions are sent to the chair of the Rethinking Resource Sharing
Innovation Awards
