About the Instruction Innovation Award:
The Instruction Section Innovation Award recognizes a project that demonstrates recognized creativity, quality, and innovation within the context of national trends in information literacy instruction or programming. Past awards have recognized well-known programs and initiatives such as the World War II Poster Project, the Embedded Librarian Project, the Community Workshop Series, the UWired Freshman Interest Group Program, the TILT tutorial, and the University Library’s Instructor College.
Academic librarians or academic project teams that include an academic librarian are eligible to receive the award. Recipients must have implemented their project no more than two years prior to the nomination submission deadline.
The winning project team will be awarded a $3,000 cash prize and a plaque donated by LexisNexis. Nominations must describe how the nominated project meets the award criteria and include a letter of support and additional documents to present the project’s purpose, content, impact, and innovative aspects.
A complete description of each award, including eligibility and selection criteria, submission requirements, and past recipients, is available on the IS Web site at http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/acrl/awards/innovationaward.cfm
