Contributions are welcome and should be sent to the Editor. In 1998 the Government Libraries Group launched its annual award to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Group's founding. We are now seeking entries for this year's award. The GLG Award is granted to mark a major contribution to the work of government libraries. It is open to anyone, individuals or groups, working in government libraries, irrespective of whether they are members of the GLG, the LA, or the profession, and to GLG members, students and others, who do not work in government libraries, but who can produce evidence of a piece of work which meets the key criterion of being a major contribution to the work of government libraries.
Entry is by nomination, including self-nomination.
The case for nomination should be set out on no more than one side of A4, though supporting documentation is permitted. The work in question should be described briefly, and its particular value to government libraries in general summarised. A contact should be provided, so that the judges can follow up any queries that might arise or call for further information as required. The selection will be made by a committee consisting of two GLG officers, and one outside assessor. Entries should be submitted to the Chair of the Group, Suzanne Burge , at the address below, as soon as possible, and by Friday 18th May 2001 at the latest.
