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

conference at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. On April 12,
2002.
