Again this year, Stanford University Libraries are calling for entries for the Stanford Prize for Innovation in Research Libraries. These entries are due by January 15, 2014.

The award recognizes a research, national, or other library that supports research activities, and is  on either a single program or project and/or a sustained culture and profile of encouraging effective and sustainable innovation. The effects of such efforts must have measurable impact on the library's own clientele as well as influencing the practices and/or standards of research librarianship generally.

Full information and entry forms can be found at http://spirl.stanford.edu .
