Technical Services Round Table

Nominations are now being accepted for the Sandra Herzinger Award (Technical Services Round Table’s Distinguished Service Award)!

Technical services employees often feel like the unsung heroes of the library world, working in back rooms while patrons (and even some colleagues) have little idea of how their contributions affect the library. The Sandra Herzinger Award will be given to a Nebraska library worker who has demonstrated exceptional work in the profession and/or has been an advocate for technical services.

Each nominee for the TSRT Technical Services Distinguished Service award must:

• Be employed in, or formerly employed in, a technical services position in a Nebraska library (According to the TSRT website, technical services includes: acquisitions, collection development, cataloging and classification, preservation, serials control, interlibrary loan and document delivery).
• Be an active and involved employee of his/her library, as well as an active and involved member of the Nebraska library community
• Have a proven record of demonstrating the value of technical services, both to colleagues within the library community and to library patrons
• It is not necessary for the nominee to be a member of TSRT.

Nomination Process:  

Please fill out this form to nominate a colleague you think is deserving of this award. If desired, you may also submit up to two letters which support and endorse your nomination. Such letters may provide further information about the nominee.
