[Karen Perone <peroneka@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In case you haven't heard, never got the first announcement, or just
plum forgot, I would like to remind everyone about the Be Innovative!
Awards. Below is information from Innovative. We hope to see what you
are doing in your library to Be Innovative!

=============

Don't forget!  November 30, 2001 is the deadline for
entries for the Be Innovative! Awards, to be given at 
the Tenth Annual IUG, April 27-30, 2002 in Houston.

We're amazed at the innovative ways in which our
library partners use Innovative systems--and every
library has an innovation to share!  We'd like to
recognize these innovations in the following 
categories:

Most Innovative Web OPAC: degree of customization, 
overall layout, use of links, graphics, and color.

Most Innovative Local Database: integration with
imaging, interesting or unusual database, look and
feel, and layout.

Most Innovative Staff Instruction Process or Training
Program: integration with user manuals, originality
of delivery methods, accompanying presentation 
materials.

Most Innovative Use of Staff Modules: level of integration,
application of management information, special projects 
applications, facilitation of efficient workflow processes.

All Innovative libraries (save for those represented by the 
judges) are eligible to enter in any or all of the categories.
