The Library Prize for Undergraduate Research has been awarded the ACRL Instruction Section's Innovation in Instruction Award this year.
The annual award, given to an academic librarian or an academic team that includes an academic librarian, recognizes a project that demonstrates creative, innovative, or unique approaches to information literacy instruction. Projects that are nominated for the award are judged on creativity, quality, and innovation within the context of national trends in information literacy instruction. The award includes $3,000.00 donated by Lexis-Nexis.
The Library Prize for Undergraduate Research Award recognizes excellence in undergraduate projects that show evidence of:
For the past two years up to six cash prizes have been awarded annually to students at a reception hosted by the Library. Award-winning projects are added to the collection of the University Archives and highlighted in exhibits within the Doe/Moffitt Libraries throughout the year. The Library Prize was the first of its kind in the nation and has provided a model for similar prizes at other research institutions, and thanks to this national recognition will reach a much broader audience.

 ARTstor via the Kalins Angel Network ARTstor is a major new image database that contains over 300,000 images and provides users the ability to create web pages as well as export images from other databases, or scan personal images. It was a major purchase approved by Collections Council, December 2004.
Selecting and adding a new database to our collection seems like a straightforward process. Place the order, sign the license, add the URL to the web and presto! patrons have access. Once the license was signed and access provided, I discovered that remote access via the proxy server was not working. As the resource liaison, I quickly connected David Kalins, Library Systems Office with Kimberly Harvey, ARTstor User Services, and her technical staff. Long discussions ensued and after several weeks I began to worry that there might not be a solution to our problem. Even worse, I wasn't able to understand most of the discussions!
In the end, and only after a great deal of thought, perseverance, communication and obvious dedication to his job and the Library, David came up with a solution on his own -- and it worked!
There are many "angels" in the Library that make important contributions that no one ever hears about, so I'd like to make sure David receives the accolades he so deserves.
Thank you David!
