I am delighted that our work was recognized by the award but I am particularly pleased that a key element in the success of our nomination was recognition that we are sharing the software. As you might know, if you have developed software in-house, getting it into a fit state for sharing is a task in itself and one that has few tangible benefits for your own organisation. Going the extra yard takes extra time and effort and it is great to work in an organisation that values engagement with the library profession beyond our own walls.

Peter, this is absolutely fantastic. I was a library student at Curtin last year and I thought at that time the visual element is fantastic for promoting new ebooks. Now that I'm working as a librarian in an academic library, I'm thinking of suggesting this for our library. Congrats on the award!
