Accomplishments Come in Many Forms: The Virginia Boucher-OCLC Distinguished Interlibrary Loan Librarian Award

One important way that the American Library Association acknowledges the activities of its members is through the Virginia Boucher-OCLC Distinguished Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Librarian Award. Named for Virginia Boucher, a former ILL librarian whose contributions and leadership enhanced the field of interlibrary loan, the OCLC-funded prize has been awarded annually since 2000. It is the aim of this article to look back at Virginia Boucher's work and the honor given in her name before briefly reviewing the careers and achievements of past award recipients.
