2. WIN THE NAG AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE
Have you done something innovative, something which has really had results
for you and your organisation? Or perhaps you have a colleague who has
headed an exciting new project? If so, please read on, because the National
Acquisitions Group is now inviting entries for its Excellence Award.
This annual award, currently held by the University of Huddersfield, is
designed to promote excellence, original thinking and innovation by a
library or individual within the field of Acquisitions. Nominated projects
should demonstrate innovative or good practice, and support for the use of
standards and for the objectives of the National Acquisitions Group.
Entries are now open and nominations of up to 250 words can be sent by
e-mail to the NAG Office at [log in to unmask] . The nomination should
provide the name(s) of those involved, the organisation they work for,
explain the changes introduced and the benefits these gave to the library /
users. Please note that the nominee(s) need to be members of NAG, or belong
to a body which is.
The closing date is 14th June 2013, and the winner will be chosen by the NAG
Executive Committee and will be presented at the 2013 NAG Conference. The
winning submission will also feature in an article in our journal Taking
Stock.
