ITE Division Announces Award
The Information Technology Division is looking for the most inspired, cutting edge, and innovative chapter technology programming of the 2001-2002 programming year. Starting in Los Angeles, the division will present an Annual Outstanding Technology Programming award to a chapter or region for the best programming.
The award will consist of an electronic certificate for display on your web page as well as $500 in seed money to develop further technology programming. ITE will announce the award winner at its annual business meeting, which will be a Tea on Tuesday, June 11, from 3:30-5:00 p.m. ITE will then reannounce the award during chapter cabinet, making the presentation of the check and a hard copy of the virtual award at that time.
ITE also wants to highlight the programs and events in its newsletterb/ITE. Since the best programming involves a high level of time and focus, the division wants to recognize chapter accomplishments. Examples of great programming range from technology fairs sponsored by chapters to cutting edge presentations such as deep archiving or digital visualization, to innovative workshops and continuing education events. Programming will be judged on its creativity and impact on membership.
To apply, send your program abstract, date, location, and flyer to Cindi Trainor, ITE Member Services Chair, at cindi.trainor@libraries.claremont.edu. Please include "chapter technology program" in your subject line. Send programs summaries as they happen, and feel free to send multiple summaries throughout the year. Award winners will be chosen by the second Friday in May. The deadline for the Los Angeles award is April 19, 2002.
