Dear Colleagues,
It is my great pleasure to announce that Emanuella Giavarra
has today won the very prestigious European Woman of
Achievement award. The award is in recognition of her
licensing efforts on behalf of the European library
community.
Since December 1990, Emanuella has dedicated herself to the
protection of the copyright interests of libraries and
library users in European institutions. In June 1992 she
was appointed the first Director of the European Bureau of
Library, Information and Documentation Associations
(EBLIDA). Within two years EBLIDA was recognised as the
official channel of communication between its members, some
95,000 libraries throughout Europe, and the European
Commission and European Parliament.
In the UK Higher Education community we know Emanuella best
for her work with the JISC/PA committee and with NESLI to
create fair model licences. These models have gained
widespread international attention, and are now in use by
library consortia and publishers around the world.
Please will you join in congratulating her on this very
impressive achievement, and for her tireless efforts in
securing educational access to electronic
information.
Cheers,
Alicia
