********A CALL FOR
NOMINATIONS********
This award recognizes and encourages collaborative problem-solving efforts in
the areas of acquisition, access, management, preservation or archiving of
library materials. It recognizes actions, services or products that improve and
benefit the providing and managing of library collections. The citation
may be presented to two or more individuals or groups who have participated
jointly in an appropriate achievement. Accomplishments that expose problems may
be as valuable as successes. The citation will be presented in a year when an
achievement of merit has occurred. Recognized forms of collaboration must
be between library personnel and other individuals or such groups as
publishers, vendors, cultural organizations, government agencies, philanthropic
organizations and the like. Results of a collaborative effort must demonstrate
advancement in collection management or technical services working
environments.

LOCKSS) and the 2008 Citation Award recognized Adam Chandler and Oliver Pesch
for their work on the SUSHI protocol.
