Local awards are cash awards designed to acknowledge and reward individuals in a timely fashion, for outstanding performances. These efforts must have contributed significantly to library-wide goals and had a measurable impact on improved library or unit operations. Local awards will be processed during all months of the year, with the exception of July, August, and December. Eligible staff may be selected to receive both Incentive Awards and Local Awards during the same fiscal year. Receiving one type of award should not exclude the recipient from being nominated for the other type if they meet the eligibility criteria.
Individuals can only receive one award per month.
A nominator may not nominate the same person more than once in a given month. Nomination forms are available from the Library Office or use the electronic University Library Local Award nomination form . A form must be completed by the individual making the nomination. The nomination will be forwarded by the Library Office to the nominee's supervisor and section head for comment, support or denial. The nominator, supervisor or section head may inform individuals that they have been nominated.
