Projects nominated for the award should demonstrate recognized creativity, quality, and innovation within the context of national trends in information literacy instruction or programming. Note: The Awards Committee uses a rubric to narrow the pool of nominations and to guide the committee’s conversation in deciding each year’s recipient. While rubric scores are not the deciding factors for selection, the committee advises you to use the rubric as a guide when submitting your nomination packet. You can view the rubric here.
Electronic submissions through the online nomination form are required. Nominations must include a description of the innovative project, a letter supporting the innovative project, and sufficient supporting documentation for the committee to understand the purpose, content, impact, and innovative aspects of the program. If possible, make the project available via the web.
Questions or requests for assistance in compiling a nomination should be directed to Pamela Pfeiffer, Wellesley College, pmmpfeiffer@gmail.com.
