POSTER WINNER ANNOUNCED!

The poster sessions this year were much bigger with a total of 26 entries.

On Friday 29 June, Margaret Watson, Chair of Umbrella and Biddy Fisher from Sheffield Hallam University had the difficult task of judging the 26 poster entries and were pleased to announce that the winning entry was :

'Dorryssyn ta fosley', Opening doors:from medical to multidisciplinary and beyond: An island approach,

This poster was presented by Christine Sugden and Anita Gould, Library Information Services, Isle of Mann.

Margaret Watson commented " The Isle of Man poster was striking and told its story clearly and effectively. Two of the three judges placed it first for its clarity and positive approach. The accompanying leaflet was also of high quality and the team answered questions with pride and smiles."

Congratulations to the winning entry.

Applications came from individuals and groups and from organizations and researchers. Nearly every sector in the information domain was represented from the health service to academic libraries, from commercial to public services, from a national library to career information. So there was something for everyone and we hope lots of delegates took the time over lunch to look at the display and ask questions.
