Stanford Prize for Innovation in Research Libraries (SPIRL)
SPIRL Entry form
Purpose
Stanford University Libraries offers a prize to recognize and
celebrate innovation through programs, projects, and/or new or improved
services that directly or indirectly benefit readers and users. The
goal of this prize is to single out for community attention and to
celebrate functionally significant results of the innovative impulses in
libraries anywhere in the world that support research. The process of
consideration for making awards is sponsored by the Stanford University
Libraries (SUL). There will be a modest prize purse, with the principal
emphasis of SPIRL on identifying and applauding distinguished peers in
fostering better services to the research world.
Eligibility:
Research, national, or other library that supports research
activities. Please note that SPIRL is not available to any of
Stanford's libraries.
Judging criteria
Awards will be based on a single programmatic or project undertaking
and/or a sustained culture and profile of encouraging effective and
sustainable innovation; the effect of such efforts must have measurable
impact on the library's own clientele as well as the potential for
influencing the practices and/or standards of research librarianship
generally. The notion of “innovation” need not be inherently about
information technology, though it might be assumed that such technology
will be employed as appropriate to achieve the programmatic ends of the
institution. Nominations will be judged on the following:
* Evidence of the effects of the program(s) on the readers/users or
staff of the nominated library;
* Nature of the innovation;
* Potential contribution(s) of the program to research and/or service
practices in other domains outside of research librarianship;
* Sustainability of the program;
* Potential for replication or adaptation by other research libraries.
Entries shall include:
1. Narrative description; for each submission, provide a description of
your innovative project. Descriptions shall include:
* Explanation of the library’s innovation;
* Published mission statement of nominated institution;
* History of development and implementation of the program in brief;
* Intended clientele; including a brief description of the method(s) of
assessing effects on clientele;
* Principal players (staff, consultants), with brief biographical
statements;
* Functional specifications and requirements, if appropriate;
* URLs, photos, videos, other media, if appropriate to understanding
the innovation;
* Press coverage, if appropriate;
* User documentation, if appropriate.
2. Nominator’s statement: Why is the nominee particularly worthy of
this recognition?
3. Listing of publications or references, if any, by the nominee that
support this nomination.
4. Letters of support and/or testimonials may be submitted by
readers/users, other research libraries, and others.
Deadlines and submission procedures
* All entries will be submitted online. The entry form may be found
here.
* Entries must be submitted before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time
(GMT -8) on 15 January 2013. The submission deadline will be strictly
observed; no exceptions will be made.
* The entire submission shall be uploaded as one PDF not to exceed 4
MB. We request that entries be composed in English.
* Libraries may be nominated either by the institution itself or by a
third party. If the nomination is made independently of the nominee
institution, Stanford will solicit a statement from the head of the
institution, which will be appended as part of the package for the
judges’ consideration.
* The judges will review the materials submitted as part of their
review. They may gather additional information by whatever means they
wish.
