Nominations may be made by current individual members of CILIP or by any of the Branches and Groups of CILIP or any of the Committees, Boards and Panels of CILIP. Individual members can make only one nomination in each annual round.
Nominees may come either from within the library and information community or from associated professions or disciplines. Fellows of the Institute may be nominated for Honorary Fellowship but it is not necessary to be a Fellow in order to be eligible for Honorary Fellowship. Nominations are made in confidence and are considered in confidence by the Honorary Awards Panel and the Council.
There are many ways in which colleagues both within and beyond the CILIP community might render such distinguished service. For more information read the details of the 2008 nomination procedure.
