Dear colleagues,
As Chair of Judges for the Crime Writers' Association Dagger in the Library
Award, I'd just like to let you know that we're now seeking nominations for
the 2005 award. This award, sponsored by Random House, is nominated and
judged entirely by librarians, although of course many people seize this
opportunity to involve Readers' Groups.
The conditions for nomination are a little different this year, in the hope
that this will encourage more entries. Libraries have until 1st August 2005
(but sooner would be great!) to produce nominations ? up to 3 per library
or Readers' Group. Each individual library or Readers' Group may make a
nomination, so that any authority can submit as many forms as it has
libraries and Readers' Groups! Supporting statements are no longer
essential, but they are most welcome, and will help the judges make their
decision.
As an extra incentive, all libraries whose authors are short-listed for
this award will be entered for a draw for two. free tickets to the CWA
Dagger Awards ceremony in London in November, where the winner will be
announced.
Any queries can be e-mailed to me or to: [log in to unmask]
Details and forms are available at
http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/files/LIS-PUB-LIBS/2005Flier.doc and also on the
CWA's website - www.thecwa.co.uk There will also be fliers in editions of
the Gazette and PLJ in a couple of months time.
I'd be very grateful if this e-mail could be forwarded to other appropriate
colleagues within your authorities
Many thanks,
Judith Rhodes
