NETSL AWARD 2005
Call for Nominations

New England Technical Services Librarians (NETSL) is seeking nominations
for the fifth annual NETSL Award for Excellence in Library Technical
Services. The NETSL Award recognizes and honors significant New
England-based contributions to the field of library technical services.
Contributions may have been made in New England by librarians from
throughout the United States, or nationally by librarians residing in
New England, through publications, service, or innovations in practice.
The NETSL Executive Board members select a recipient based on
nominations received, at their February meeting. If none of the nominees
in a given year are deemed worthy, the Board reserves the right to
suspend the Award for that year. The next NETSL Award will be presented
at the annual NETSL Spring Conference at the College of the Holy Cross
in Worcester, Mass. in April, 2005.

Eligibility for nomination is as follows:

    * Nominees may be NETSL/NELA members, but membership in the
association is not a requirement.
    * A written statement that includes the rationale for nomination
must accompany a nomination and, if a resume of the nominee is not
appended, a narrative summary of the nominee's career and achievements.
Provision of a resume is strongly recommended.
    * Nominations may be made by NETSL members or by non-members.
    * Nominations and statement(s) must be postmarked no later than
January 10, and must be received by the NETSL Vice-President no later
than January 15.
    * Current members of the NETSL Executive Board are not eligible for
consideration.

Nominees shall have made contributions to library technical services in
one or more of the following areas:

   1. Leadership in professional associations at local, state, regional
or national level;
   2. Contributions to the development, application or utilization of
new or improved formats, methods, techniques and routines;
   3. Significant contributions to professional literature;
   4. Conduct of studies or research in the technical services.

The award recipient will receive an elegant certificate containing an
