Nasser Khan, researcher and author of ‘Shell Trinidad through the Years’ was in his glee: “100% of the material in this book for the period 1913-1974 came from The UWI Library!”. He was especially jubilant because the Caribbean Advertising Federation (CAF) had announced the winners of the American Advertising Awards, formerly known as the ADDY Awards and his book – published by Safari Publications Company Limited - had grabbed a Silver ADDY award for Book Design (Entire Book). There were a record 769 entries judged and were submitted by 45 different companies and organizations representing Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, Jamaica, U.S. Virgin Islands, Curacao, Grand Cayman, Belize and St. Lucia. To show his appreciation for the immense support received, he presented a copy of the book to University Libarian Jennifer Joseph. Also present for the handover were Dr. Glenroy Taitt, Head West Indiana & Special Collection Division, Keeno Gonzales, Library Assistant, WISC Division, and Kathy Ragoobarsingh, Manager/Director, HR, Shell Trinidad Limited. |
