search-engines-web.com sends “us the following announcement:
The New York Times Librarian Awards is a national program, honoring 27 public librarians from across the country each year. As we did last year, we will again recognize 12 public librarians from across the nation and 15 librarians from New York State, New Jersey and Connecticut, the early home of the Librarian Awards.
Eligible nominees include any librarian currently working in a public library in the United States. Nominators are encouraged to nominate librarians who consistently demonstrate the highest levels of professionalism, knowledge and public service in the execution of their duties.
Winners will be announced in The Times in December and will each receive $2,500 and a commemorative plaque.
When nominating librarians, individuals must consider the following criteria:
· Quality of the service the nominee has provided to the public
· Knowledge of the library and its resources demonstrated by the nominee
· Commitment shown by the nominee to helping the public
A committee of high-ranking library professionals is responsible for reviewing nominations and choosing the winners. In 2003, as the awards become a national program, we received nearly 2,000 nominations from 46 states, including Alaska and Hawaii.
Many in the public library community have applauded the awards program including the American Library Association and Library Journal which stated “In singling out these… librarians, the Times honors all… librarians. It is a program worth emulating.”

Please limit your answers to no more than 250 words per question. Do not
send supplementary items such as videotapes, etc.

Apparently this has been a problem in the past…
Re:This is not Librarian Survivor….
I dunno.
Box of chocolates? Broadway show tickets? Cash?
Or like the Car Talk guys say, your answers printed on the back of a large-screen projection TV?
Bernie Margolis. BPL. Other cities’ public libs.
Bernie Margolis should be nominated even though our Boston Public Library president failed to collect, acquisition and accession Boston city hall departments municipal public documents of current interest and failed to advocate for a the mayoral directive and the city council order for the more routine transmittal of city departments public documents to our boston public library government documents curator G. Fithian.
Bernie Margolis should be nominated even though our Boston Public Library departments collections and services are difficult to navigate.
Bernie Margolis should be nominated for advocating in the media for intellectual freedom with respect to the consequences of legislative activity in congress, an enormously important thing that serves the best interests of our cities’ public libraries users/customers/consumers .
Now like all good things there will be more to be done by Bernie Margolis regarding municipal departments public documents, grey literature quod vide http://greynet.org
And the predicament of transmittal to, collecting by, acquisition of and accession for our cities’ municipal departments public documents by the our respective cities’ public libraries needs to be looked at by information professionals, archivists, records managers and librarians quod vide http://www.albany.edu/sisp/
