I am pleased to announce that nominations are now being accepted for
the 2011 Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
(ALCTS) LBI George Cunha and Susan Swartzburg Award.

Deadline for nominations is December 1, 2010.

The Cunha-Swartzburg Award honors the memory of George Cunha and
Susan Swartzburg, early leaders in cooperative preservation
programming and strong advocates for collaboration in the field of
preservation.  This $1250 award, sponsored by the Library Binding
Institute, acknowledges and supports cooperative preservation
projects and/or rewards individuals or groups that foster
collaboration for preservation goals.

The award committee will consider a single project emphasizing
collaboration or partnership, collaboration extending the
preservation vision beyond the circle of preservation specialists,
or the cumulative achievement of an individual or group who has
served as a mentor or advocate of collaborative preservation.  Any
person or group is eligible for this award; membership in the ALA
organization is not required.

    Name of the person or group being nominated; address, phone
    number and email address of nominee and nominating party
