CBG Entrepreneurial Award
The
C. Berger Group, Inc. Entrepreneurial Promise Award was established by CBG in 2000 at
the University of Illinois to honor a student who exhibits unusual creativity,
reflects innovative spirit and shows the most promise for an outstanding career
in a special library, non-traditional library setting or as an entrepreneur.
Carol Berger, Chairman of the CBG Board and CBG's Manager,
Marketing Communications is a former special librarian
herself. She initiated the gift there and at selected other library schools to encourage an
interest in special librarianship as a career option for students and to focus
on the qualities and skills needed to succeed in this area.
The award was sponsored by CBG for the first time in 2003 at the School
of Library and Information Studies, University of Wisconsin, Madison, and the
Graduate School of Library and Information Science, Dominican University, River
Forest.
The
CBG Entrepreneurial Promise Award is one of several prizes CBG funds or sponsors
annually for professional librarians and support staff of distinction
nationwide. They include the
Librarian of the Year, for the Illinois Library
Association each fall, the Karen J. Switt Leadership Award for the
Leadership and Management Division of the Special
Libraries Association in June, and the Library Assistant Award at Reaching
Forward South each September.
