I will post this on the wiki in the next few days - and get your
opinions on layout and order. I plan to put month won and list by award
- does that make the most sense?
Thanks

Posting an archive of the previous winners by year and category would
help, Diana. From what I am reading, most of us agree to choosing one
person in a year's time period. Will our year's time period begin after
FLA in April?
How about different categories?

If it helps, I can post the winner list someplace for everyone to access
like the wiki. This way your not duplicating my work. Susan
Livingston was like this last year, she won 2 different awards over the
course of last year...

One year works for me, too. Since Diana's spreadsheet has separate tabs
for each category (brief, detailed and teaching), it would be easy to
see if a potential nominee has won a particular chat category in the
last year. Of course, if we were to limit the waiting period by
category, a well rounded librarian has the potential to win every 4
months on a consistent basis (or even three months in a row and then a
10 month wait- providing that we don't add further rules). In any event,
we would have to maintain a current list of the winners.

Sorry I missed this lively month. I'm back again. :-)
I agree too. Louis is consistently good and should not be penalized,
however we do want to be fair. Like Christa, I'm a little confused.
Are we talking about a year for just the "detailed" chat, or all the
categories? Maybe we need to keep an on-going list of ALL the winners?
Maybe just the detailed.

I agree with the comments so far. One year seems reasonable. On
another note, there were three brief nominations for Louis Rosen. Pat,
do you want us to qualify which one we nominated for an award?

Attached is the winners for a least the past 1.5 years.
I think one year is a great idea- I think it helps us see new people but
doesn't penalize previous winners....just my humble opinion.

I agree....let's require one year between eligibility to win.
Unfortunately, I can't keep track of who's won. I can only remember
Louis Rosen and Regina Seguin have won before.

I think we are looking for exemplary chats as examples for others to
draw inspiration and instruction from. It shouldn't matter who created
the chat, just the quality of the chat itself. After a year, a person
should be eligible again. A year wait is reasonable to spread the award
around, but to be disqualified forever after winning once is a bit
harsh. One question, if a person won for a detailed chat, are they
barred from winning a brief chat?

Hi Everyone,
I'm sorry to be slow tallying the votes for Exemplary Chats for April
08.
A couple of issues: One I had trouble separating the two chats
nominated for Louis Rosen for a Brief Exemplary Chat, and second, two
librarians who won Exemplary chats last year just won the distinction
again.
I know we had decided at one point to not have repeat winners, but
perhaps we could make the ruling for one year's time period.
What are your thoughts on this? Let me and Diana know before we
publish the winners.
Thanks,
Pat
Brief Exemplary Chat
Louis Rosen Louis quickly found a book that this student could use. He
suggested an alternative search term when the student's original query
received no hits and explained the rationale. 4/27

Detailed Exemplary Chat
Ellen B. Ellen used her considerable experience with patent research to
help this customer understand the process and how its changed since more
of the records have been digitized. She also offered contact information
for other patent professionals in case the customer wanted to know more.

Teaching Exemplary Chat
Susan Livingston Susan did an excellent job of chatting with the
student about a research topic for a Communications paper. Susan
addressed the student's real issue which was to think of keywords that
would be useful in searching the databases for journal articles on the
topic.
