IUG Beacon Award Information

In 2007, the Innovative Users Group Steering Committee, at the
suggestion of many members, created the IUG Beacon Award. The lighthouse
was chosen as a symbol and the award was created to:

"To honor exceptional service to the Innovative Users Community through
presentations, collaboration, selfless dedication to libraries as a
whole, and sage advice to others via the IUG List. "While a great
implementation is the product of a great employee, the IUG Beacon Award
will acknowledge great community members - people who help others attain
greatness and share the knowledge that she/he gained in the process."

The lighthouse was chosen to symbolize:

    * Inspiration
    * Navigation
    * Illumination
    * Protection
