IFLA Scroll of Appreciation

IFLA Scroll of Appreciation is awarded to an individual who has given distinguished service to IFLA as a volunteer engaged in a committee or group.

The IFLA Scroll of Appreciation is peer nominated. A nomination for the IFLA Scroll of Appreciation is required to have at least two nominators from different countries who are current IFLA Members, Personal Affiliates, or current members of a Section Standing Committee. Each nomination shall be accompanied by at least one written referee report. The referee should not also be a nominator.

A nomination must include evidence to support any claims of the nominee's distinguished service to IFLA as a volunteer engaged in a committee or group.

Nominations for the IFLA Scroll of Appreciation shall be submitted to the Secretary General on the prescribed form by the date determined.

In making its decision, the Executive Committee will examine only the evidence provided by the nominators and the referee report(s) submitted with the nomination. The evidence and referee report(s) you provide should be based on the following required criteria

  1. Distinguished personal and professional contribution to IFLA’s committee(s) and/or group(s);
  2. Efforts in fostering IFLA values, for example, diversity, inclusion and equality

No nomination is required for the IFLA Certificate of Appreciation to be awarded each year by the IFLA Governing Board to the IFLA World Library and Information Congress (WLIC) National Committee for that year.
