Perhaps inCite/ALIA could consider a similar honour system for Australians, giving recognition beyond the current range of national and state-based awards?

Funny, I’ve had the same thought.

While I may have had that thought and entertained grand ideas of being one of that number (yes, I suffer from extreme delusions of grandeur), I think I much prefer Time’s recent approach and reckon any such effort should acknowledge all librarians and not some selected few.

What I really like about the LJ awards is that I get to read about a bunch of people and projects I’ve never heard of before.
And Time’s ‘you’ approach excludes almost everyone I know.
