The LAS-YBP Award is given to recognize the contribution by a librarian in collection development or technical services which include acquisitions, cataloguing and serials management. It also aims at providing an opportunity for the librarian to increase professional knowledge and experience through research or to present papers at conferences.
We are pleased to announce the inaugural winner of this Award, Ms Saralee Turner. Ms Turner is currently the SILAS Authority Control Coordinator. She will be using the award to conduct research on how to optimize name authority work in the Singapore context. The annual award consists of a $2,500 grant donated by YBP Library Services/Lindsay and Croft.
