Sally Hernando Awards for Innovation in NHS Library & Knowledge Services

We are very pleased to announce that  during the recent judging of the Sally Hernando Awards for Innovation in NHS Library and Knowledge Services 2013-14, two of our LQAF submissions were commended for good/best practice. Our successful submissions, entered by Grazia Manzotti, were:

The judging panel comprises a number of SHA Library Leads and Library Service Managers, and competition for these awards is very high. Further details of all the submissions can be seen here.
