Celebrating Innovative Use of Electronic Resources in
the Public Sector
UKOLUG offers an award of £1,000 to a public sector
library or library authority that has instigated an
innovative use of electronic resources. The Award will
be presented at the CILIP Gala Awards Day in November.
In order to find a winner, UKOLUG is asking readers to
nominate a library or information service for this
award. If you know of a particular worthy service
offering electronic resources to members of the public
please let us know by sending in a nomination. A panel
of judges will select the most innovative, noteworthy
and useful application.
If yours is the successful nomination, you too will
receive a small award - a £50 Book Token.
While setting no limit on the range of uses,
applications or installations that may be nominated, we
offer these as examples of the kinds of activity likely
to attract the award:
· An innovative means of presenting or delivering
information to a particular user group;
· A significant electronic resource presenting an
unusual range or type of information; or
· An innovative electronic outreach programme to counter
social exclusion
Nominations should take the form of a brief description
(perhaps two A4 pages) of the resource and its intended
users, as well as details of the location and the
library or authority (with a contact name). Also send
your name and contact information (as the nominator).
Please try to make your descriptions as detailed as
possible and specify the type and location of the
resource and the target user group. It may help to offer
some assessment of its success.
