CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FOR ASCLA AWARDS: Please read and forward or share
as appropriate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Association for Specialized and Cooperative Library Agencies (ASCLA)
seeks nominations for the 2009 ASCLA/KLAS/NOD award.

Sponsored by ASCLA, the National Organization on Disability and Keystone
Systems, this award recognizes an innovative and well-organized project
that successfully developed or expanded services for people with
disabilities.  The award can be for a specific service(s) program or for
a library that has made its total services more accessible through
changing physical and/or attitudinal barriers. The winner receives
$1,000 and a certificate provided by Keystone Systems.

Those interested in submitting a nomination can download the award
nomination form from the awards section of the ASCLA website or request
the form from Liz Markel, ASCLA Marketing Specialist, via e-mail at
lmarkel at ala.org. All nominations must be received by Dec. 15.

Recent award recipients have included the Braille Institute of Library
Services, Los Angeles (2007) for its Telephone Reader Program; the
Skokie Public Library (Ill.), Youth Services Department (2006) for its
efforts to educate library staff about children with special needs,
offer programming for these children and their families and present
disabilities awareness programs for the general public; Johnson County
Library, Shawnee Mission (Kan.) for its "Literature for the Learning
Disabled Adult" program (2005); and the Ward M. Canaday Center for
Special Collections, University of Toledo (2004), for its Regional
Disability History Archive Project.

ASCLA, a division of  the American Library Association (ALA), is a
diverse organization of librarians and support staff who work in
academic and public libraries, state agencies, specialized libraries and
multi-type cooperatives, as well as those who are self-employed.
