3M Awards

3 great finalist this year and they all deserved to be winners, Congratulations to Heather Lamond for her Resusable Online Tutorials, Spencer Lilley & Sheeanda Field for the Maori book Awards and Frances McEwen
The winner of the 3M Awards for Innovation was:

Frances McEwen – Upper Hutt City
With partnerships from Upper Hutt schools Upper Hutt City Libraries implemented a programme called “Library Book in Every Bag”. Children in the area are offered an opportunity to join and visit the library on a regular basis, regardless of their circumstances. The children are presented with a library card and bag. The project has left a long lasting impact upon the community.

Congratulations Frances and the Upper Hutt City Library Team

in 2nd Place was
Spencer Lilley and Sheeanda Field – Massey University
Spencer and Sheeanda organised an awards structure to promote the contribution that books on Maori subjects make to the New Zealand literacy scene. Secondly they directed library clients to read said items and to ensure that the awards became an annual event to encourage authors and publishers to continue publishing books on Maori Topics. Their project resulted in a well attended and covered awards ceremony.

and third was
Heather Lamond – Massey University
Heather created a range of reusable online library tutorials for use in online learning environments to increase the teaching and support available to distance learning students. As a result all teaching librarians were able to produce high quality online teaching and learning materials. The results have lead to high usage of the tutorials and now library staff are able to dedicate more time to advanced information literacy knowing that the introductory skills are available online 24/7.

Well done
