The award was for innovative cooperation initiatives in the Caribbean and is an annual one presented by the Online Computer Library Centre, a non-profit, computer library service and research organization whose membership includes over 72,000 libraries, archives and museums in 170 countries. The ALJ won for its innovation in the application of information technology for the delivery of library services, in this case the development of a platform to host the electronic books produced by the University Press. “This is indeed cause for celebration, as it is a testament to the excellent work of members of Library staff, and the vision of the Campus Libraries in going forward,” said Campus Librarian, Frank Soodeen, as he congratulated staff. The news of the award is headlined, “A Leader on Innovation,” and gives details of the AJL’s holdings and services and its new initiatives. Congratulations to AJL!
