New England Technical Services Librarians (NETSL) is seeking nominations for

made in New England itself by librarians from throughout the United States,
or
nationally by librarians residing in New England, through publications,
service, or innovations in practice. The NETSL Executive Board selects a
recipient based on nominations received, at their February meeting. The
award
may not necessarily be given every year if none of the nominations in a
given
year are deemed worthy.
The NETSL Award will be presented at the annual NETSL spring conference in
Worcester, Mass. on April 20, 2001.
Eligibility for nomination is as follows:

supporting
evidence of the nominee's qualifications. The statement shall include some

achievements.
-- Nominations may be made by NETSL members and non-members of NETSL.
-- The nominations and statement(s) must be postmarked no later than
January
10, and must be received by the NETSL Vice-President no later than January
15.
-- Librarians who are current members of the NETSL Executive Board are
not
eligible for consideration.
-- Nominees shall have made contributions to library technical services
in one
or more of the following areas:
