We’re very pleased to announce the fourth annual Nylink Achievement Awards and the second year of the Leadership Award. The Achievement Awards provide recognition and appreciation for Nylink member institutions that make significant contributions to Nylink, library cooperation, or to library collaboration. The Leadership Award was established in 2007 to honor Mary-Alice Lynch, who served as Nylink Executive Director from 1997 to 2007, for her leadership and vision for libraries. The award is given to an individual in recognition of sustained service reflected in a significant and influential body of professional work furthering Nylink’s mission of library collaboration and/or the promotion of innovative technological solutions to shared library issues.
All librarians, professional, technical and ancillary staff, Nylink staff, and others in the profession are encouraged to submit nominations for the institutional Achievement Awards and for the individual Leadership Award. The nomination solicitation process will remain open until Friday, February 22, 2008.
All nominations will be reviewed by the Awards Committee of Nylink Council. We thank this committee for their time and effort to highlight the valuable contributions of Nylink member institutions and their staffs. Committee members: Gary Thompson, Siena College, chair; Susan Currie, Binghamton University; Barbara Liesenbein, Dutchess Community College.
Award winners will be honored at the Nylink Annual Meeting, May 5-6, 2008, in Saratoga Springs .
