**Activity in Current Reporting Period
a) Projects
completed (For example, any procedures, tip sheets, checklists, etc. created
during this period):
The online application for the 2005 Olofson Award was ready for use by
award applicants on September 10, 2004. A total of 33 people applied for the
award by the January 1, 2005 deadline.
The NMRT Publicity Committee was emailed on November 2, 2004 and asked to
send out another announcement about the Olofson Award.
A publicity announcement about the Olofson Award was sent on November 2,
2004 for inclusion in the November edition of NMRT's Footnotes.
A flyer for the 2006 Olofson Award was developed and mailed on December
14, 2004 to the NMRT Orientation Committee for inclusion in new member packets
at the ALA Midwinter meeting in January 2005.
A request was sent on January 12, 2005 to Steve Brantley on the NMRT Web
Committee asking that a message be added to the Olofson application website
stating that applications received after January 1, 2005 would not be
considered for the award. The statement was quickly added to the website.
A recipient for the 2005 Olofson Award was
selected by the Award Committee and
accepted the award via email
on February 7, 2005. We are now awaiting the return of the
signed “Conditions of
Award Acceptance” form from the
recipient. The applicants who
were not selected for the
award were notified via email on February 8 that a recipient had
been selected for this year.

The Committee will decide if any recommendations will be made at ALA
Annual in
**Action Items/Issues To Be Resolved (What is left to do,

Award recipient, we will contact Bill Jenkins (NMRT Treasurer) and ask that the check
for the award be prepared. We plan to present the check to the recipient at the NMRT
