New for FIL 2021 – National Interlending Awards

May 6, 2021 | Events & Conferences, Latest News & Updates, Past Events & Conferences

Help us to celebrate the amazing work which we all do and see within Interlending.

We are looking for nominations in the following categories:

Innovation in Interlending. The last year has thrown many challenges at us. Have you tried someone new and amazing? Invented a new way of working? Let us know.

Interlending – Above and Beyond. Sometimes requests can be more challenging.
We’re looking for individuals or teams who have gone way beyond normal working practice to help an individual or an institution within interlending.

Interlending – Rarest or most Random. Have you tracked down the last copy in existence? Supplied something to an unusual library? We all have stories of the most random requests we’ve filled. Now’s your chance for your story to shine.

Nominations for the above three categories should be for work done within the last 12 months.

Lifetime Achievement. We’re looking to celebrate someone who within their working life has made a difference, year on year within Interlending. Is that you, or someone you know?

Nominations should be submitted to the FIL Chair, Claire Hordern
claire.hordern@manchester.ac.uk by the 1 June 2021.

Nominations should be no more than 300 words, and should clearly name the nominee and category. Individuals or teams may self nominate, or be nominated by colleagues. Winners will be announced on 30 June 2021 at the FIL conference.
