Happy to announce that total-impact has received an honourable mention in the 2012 UBC Library Innovative Dissemination of Research Award competition.

The UBC Library Innovative Dissemination of Research Award honours UBC faculty, staff and students who expand the boundaries of research through the creative use of new tools and technologies.

Supposedly there were 25 strong candidates this year.  The winner, Sea Around Us, looks fantastic.

The main reason I (Heather) am thrilled is that it is such a cool award.  We want this, right?  We want our academics experimenting with new ways to disseminate their research results, and we want to learn about innovative disseminations.

Do other university libraries have similar programs?
