Salem Press has announced the call for nominations for the 2011 Library Blog Awards.

The Library Blog Awards aim “to recognise blogging excellence across the library spectrum.” This year’s vote will be ‘bigger & better” with more judges, more blog categories and a public vote.

Judges include Andy Woodworth (Agnostic, Maybe) and Jessamyn West (Librarian.net), amongst a who’s who of library blogging across the spectrum.

As Walt Crawford noted in his Liblogs by Country assessment (Cites & Insights January 2011), Australian libloggers are very active, with the highest rate of 3.5 blogs per million people (beating out the US – 2.8 and Canada – 2.7).  So we have many blogs of our own for nomination.

Whether its Australian or not, why not take a few minutes and nominate your favourite library blogs for the 2011 Library Blog Awards. Nominations close 13th May, with a list of finalists to be announced 18th May and the winners by mid-June.

So get moving, there’s not much time to get those nominations in. What better way to spread the word about the great content being shared by librarians world-wide.
