LITA/Library Hi Tech Award Nominations Sought

Nominations are invited for the 1997 LITA/Library Hi Tech Award. This award
is given each year to an individual or institution for outstanding
achievement in communicating for the purpose of educating practitioners
within the field of library and information technology.

The award is given for a single seminal work, or a body of work, created
during (or continuing into) the five years immediately preceding the award
