THE REGENTS ADVISORY COUNCIL ON LIBRARIES ANNOUNCES THE 2005 JOSEPH F.
SHUBERT LIBRARY EXCELLENCE AWARD, CO-SPONSORED BY EBSCO INFORMATION
SERVICES
Dr. Louis A. Ciota, Chair of the Regents Advisory Council on Libraries,
has announced that applications are now available for the Joseph F.
Shubert Library Excellence Award, which recognizes the achievements of
small, medium and large libraries and library consortia of New York
State.
The Award was first established as part of the Regents Advisory Council
on Libraries 1994-95 centennial observance, and it is named after Joseph
F. Shubert, former New York State Librarian. Members of the 2005 Award
Committee are Dr. Karen Patricia Smith (Chair), Dr. Louis A. Ciota and
Mr. Irving Toliver.
The Award will recognize a library or library consortium that has taken
significant steps to improve the quality of library service to its
users. This year, the award is co-sponsored by EBSCO Information
Services, and funded by that organization in the amount of $1,000.
In 2004, the Council recognized the Rochester Regional Library Council
in Rochester, New York for its "CLIC-on-Health" project. The
project brings together libraries, health organizations and
associations, healthcare delivery systems and educational institutions
in order to provide the people of the greater Rochester area with
high-quality healthcare information and resources. It features a web
portal with information specific to Rochester healthcare and a training
component to provide instruction in the use of health information on the
Internet.
Last year, the Council also recognized the Cortland Junior/Senior High
School Library in Cortland, New York for its "Parent-Child Book
Club." The book club brings eighth graders and their parents
together for literary discussions and presentations by authors.
