Special Supplement to

Published by MODERN LIBRARY AWARDS

he 2021 Modern Library Awards (MLAs) is proud to announce its review scores from participating companies in this special supplement to Library Product News. The MLAs are an unbiased program recognizing the elite products and services that serve the library industry. Companies provided concise write-ups of their products/services and submitted them for review. These were then sent out to the LibraryWorks readership — librarians in public, academic, K-12, and special — who then submitted Ttheir reviews on a 1-10 scoring system. Each judge had to have had experience with the product or service, and each participating company also had to provide four references of library placements to submit their forms. The LibraryWorks staff had no influence on the scoring. Awards were based on the following scores:

6.5-7.4 Silver 7.5-8.4 Gold 8.5-10.0 Platinum Highest Overall Scores – Product of the Year and Service of the Year
