management and development of electronic resource collections

managing electronic resources, and exemplify innovative practices for the
worldwide library community.
•       Marie Kennedy for her work as the principal investigator of the
Collaborative Marketing for Electronic Resources project (100 participants

plan for electronic resources, which later led to the book, Marketing Your
Library's Electronic Resources.

The award is presented during the American Library Association Annual
