The American Library Association is seeking nominees for the seventh
annual Virginia Boucher/OCLC Distinguished ILL Librarian award which
recognizes and honors a librarian for outstanding professional
achievement, leadership, and contributions to interlibrary loan and
document delivery through publication, during the previous two years, of
significant professional literature, participation in professional
associations, and/or innovative approaches to practice in individual
libraries.  Nominations must be submitted by Thursday, December 15, 2005
to the award committee chair, Suzanne Ward, either by email, fax, or
snail mail - see the signature file at the end of this message for

The candidate must have been employed in a library and held some
responsibility for his or her institution's ILL, document delivery, or
resource sharing services at the time the contribution being honored was
made.  Contributions supporting a nomination must have occurred during
the two years prior to the nomination deadline.  The candidate's
achievement must be accomplished in one of the following areas:

1. Planning and implementing an innovative or pioneering approach to
ILL/document delivery service that is recognized as a model on a
