Call for Submissions - Rethinking Resource Sharing Innovation Awards 

DEADLINE EXTENDED TO MARCH 30, 2009!!

 

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 all over the
world 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 Rethinking Resource Sharing
Forum 2009 on May 13 and 14, 2009 in Dublin, OH.    Funding for the 2009
Innovation Awards is provided by the Alliance of Library Service
Networks www.librarynetworks.org <http://www.librarynetworks.org/> , a
group of U.S. independent regional networks that includes Amigos, BCR,
FEDLINK, ILLINET, INCOLSA, MINITEX, MLC, MLNC, NELINET, Nylink, OHIONET,
PALINET, SOLINET, and WiLS.  The Nebraska Library Commission is also a
member. 

 

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
