The 2007 NYLINK Achievement Award in recognition of contributions to NYLINK or to library cooperation or collaboration was awarded to The City University of New York. The award is in recognition of CUNY’s contributions in the area of resource sharing, particularly for the CUNY Libraries Intra Campus Service (CLICS).

NYLINK Awards Committee Chair Gary Thompson noted:

The City University of New York students have had vast and diverse library resources at their disposal. However, due to historical circumstances, CUNY has not always functioned as a fully integrated system from the perspective of the student and faculty member. Through recent administrative and technological developments, it is now possible for a student at any CUNY campus to request materials for delivery to any other campus.

For their perseverance and investment in library collaboration and their contribution to creating more points of light toward the day when New York State truly has a statewide borrowing and delivery system, let us congratulate The City University of New York upon receiving this award.
