The award is an annual cash award of $1,000 for travel and related expenses to attend the American Library Association (ALA) Annual Conference, and is intended for persons interested in a mentoring opportunity. The award is given to a library practitioner new to the field of interlibrary loan, resource sharing or electronic reserves.
"The STARS-Atlas Systems Mentoring Award allows us to introduce new resource sharing staff to the STARS community and begin that all-important social networking that makes all of us more effective," said Collette Mak, education and training committee chair. "Danielle's clearly articulated goals for attending ALA Annual Conference made her an ideal candidate for the award and a wonderful example of the 'nextgen' librarian."
Virginia Boucher/OCLC Distinguished ILL Librarian Award
Anne K. Beaubien, Director and Cooperative Access Services and Grants Officer, University Library, University of Michigan, is the 2007 Virginia Boucher-OCLC Distinguished Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Librarian Award.

The award recognizes and honors a librarian for outstanding professional achievement, leadership and contributions to ILL and document delivery. The award is named for Virginia Boucher, professor emeritus at the university of Colorado-Boulder and former ILL librarian whose significant contributions and leadership enhanced the field of interlibrary loan. The $2,000 award and citation are donated by OCLC, Online Computer Library Center.
"Anne Beaubien embodies the cooperative spirit that is so important in the world of resource sharing," said Denise A. Forro, chair of the award committee. "She has advanced the issues and goals of the new RUSA STARS unit and played a key leadership role in resource sharing initiatives, including the CIC (Big Ten libraries) and the Rethinking Resource Sharing Initiative. Based upon her years of involvement in interlibrary loan on many levels, Anne was selected to receive this prestigious reward."
