recognize and celebrate individual research libraries for sustained
and significant innovation in any operational area.  Nominations with
documentation may be made by institutions or individuals and are due
by 5:00pm Pacific Standard Time on Tuesday 15 January 2013.  A full
explanation of the intent and process for SPIRL may be found at

first prize(s) will be announced in mid- to late-February 2013.

Please re-distribute this announcement widely.  Thanks very much.
