Nominations Sought for 2009 AIIP Tech Award

The Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP; www.aiip.org) announced that nominations are now open for the 2009 AIIP Technology Award. The deadline for nominations is Sept. 20, 2009. The awards will be presented to the winners at Information Today, Inc.'s Internet Librarian conference (www.infotoday.com/il2009) on Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2009, in Monterey, Calif.

You are welcome to nominate any company or individual that produces information products (databases, web organizers, internet sites) to enter the competition. There will be two categories: one for web-based services and another for desktop software. Successful entries in each category will be new or revamped products or technologies that help information professionals with their day-to-day operations in locating, analyzing, and organizing information. The product must be related to the information field; AIIP does not consider accounting, word-processing, database or spreadsheet, or other programs not directly related to locating, analyzing, or organizing data appropriate for this award.

Please send the nomination form to Iuliana Pop, AIIP awards committee chair at icar-consulting@rogers.com. The 2008 winner of the AIIP Technology Award was 10-K Wizard, for its Regulatory Database product, with honorable mention to PBWiki, for its online wiki application, and to Tableau Software's Desktop Tableau, for its visualization software.
