LITA/GAYLORD AWARD NOMINATIONS SOUGHT
     
Nominations are invited for the 1997 LITA/Gaylord Award for 
Achievement in Information Technology.  Sponsored by the 
Library and Information Technology Association (LITA) and
Gaylord Bros., Inc., the award includes a citation of merit and a 
$1,000 stipend provided by Gaylord.   The agreement between 
Gaylord and LITA was revised this year so that qualifications for 
the award are different from previous years.

The award will be given to a practicing or retired librarian, or a 
small group of librarians working in collaboration, to recognize 
achievement for creative use of information technology for 
improving or enhancing patron services.  Organized institutions or
parts of organized institutions as such are ineligible for the award. 
Currently-serving officers and elected officials of LITA, members
of the LITA/Gaylord Award Committee, and Gaylord employees 
and their immediate family members are ineligible. 

Nominations may be made by any member of the American
Library Association, including members of the Award Committee. 
Please send nominations to: Sandra E. Swanson, LITA/Gaylord 
Award Committee, Amberg Health Sciences Library, Cook
Institute at Butterworth Hospital, 100 Michigan NE, Grand Rapids, 
MI 49503-2560 by February 22, 1997. Nominations may also be
faxed to Sandra Swanson at 616-391-3527.

The award is presented at the LITA membership meeting 
immediately prior to the LITA President's Program during the 
Annual Conference of the American Library Association.
