TSIG Annual Award of Achievement
The Technical Services Interest Group (TSIG) of the California Library Association invites all members of the California library community to acknowledge superior achievement by an individual in those areas of the library profession that encompass access, collections, and technical services. The TSIG Award is an opportunity to recognize colleagues who have made outstanding contributions in those areas of librarianship that have been especially challenged by the need for innovation and adaptation in dealing with rapidly changing technology and work environments.
The award is offered each year. The TSIG Award Committee identifies a qualified recipient. Factors to be considered in selection include one or more outstanding achievements in one or more of the following areas: 1) leadership in professional associations at the local, state, regional, national, or international level; 2) significant contributions to the development, application, or utilization of new or improved methods, techniques, and routines demonstrating creativity and innovation; 3) significant contributions to the professional literature; or 4) studies or research. Nominees will have worked for a portion of the past year in a California library and will be members of CLA/TSIG.
The 2009 TSIG Annual Award of Achievement was presented to Ida Z. daRoza at the 111th Annual CLA Conference in Pasadena during the Awards Ceremony & Dessert Reception. This award acknowledges her outstanding leadership and contributions in technical services to professional associations and to librarianship on the state, national, and international level.
