Note, this is kind of biased, as I currently serve as Chair of the Awards Committee for the SLA Academic Division, but what can I say, it’s an exciting new award for academic libraries!
The SLA Academic Division has announced the Springshare Innovation in Academic Libraries Award. It recognizes a new program or service that demonstrates an innovative approach to academic librarianship. The winning library will receive $500, courtesy of Springshare, creator of LibGuides. Nominated libraries do not have to have a SLA or an SLA-Academic Division member on staff. The deadline is April 1st 2011.
For the full details on how to submit, see the Division’s blog.

As the first USF librarian at the Lakeland campus (now Polytechnic), I opened the USF Polytechnic Library in January 2007 and have developed its various services. I've held positions as information broker, Internet consultant and academic librarian in Canada, the US and Europe. A blogger since 2001, I've created and maintained several sites in, and outside, of the biblioblogosphere. I'm active in SLA, and currently serve as on the boards of the Academic Division and the Florida-Caribbean Chapter.
