FLICC Awards 2007 — Call for Nominations
To honor the many innovative ways in which federal libraries,
librarians and library technicians are fulfilling the information
demands of government, business, research, scholarly communities and the
American public, the Federal Library and Information Center Committee
announces its national awards for federal librarianship for fiscal year
2007. (All nominations must be faxed to the FLICC office no later than
February 1, 2008. See below for details.)
The 2007 award winners will be honored for their contributions to
federal library and information service at the annual FLICC Forum on
Federal Information Policies in Washington, D.C., September 12, 2008. To
further recognize these outstanding individuals and programs, a plaque
engraved with their names and the names of previous and subsequent
winners will be on permanent display in the FLICC offices at the Library
of Congress.
Nominations are being accepted for these awards:
