Greetings, OLAC Members!

I would like to invite nominations for this coming year’s award. The annual OLAC Award “recognizes and honors a librarian who has made significant contributions to the advancement and understanding of audiovisual cataloging”. Details on the Award and submission criteria, as well as a list of past recipients, can be found on the OLAC Award Web page: <http://www.olacinc.org/award.html>.

The Award recipient receives an engraved plaque containing an inscription recognizing his or her special contributions to the field.

The Nancy B. Olson Award is the highest honor for catalogers of audiovisual and electronic media. The award is named for the founder of OLAC, a woman who continues to be an inspiration and resource for AV catalogers.

Nomination(s) and statement(s) must be postmarked or timestamped no later than December 3, 2007. Paper and electronic submissions are welcome. Please send nominations to me (contact information below).
