The Biodiversity Heritage Library received the 2010 Outstanding Collaboration Citation from the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS). This award was made possible by the dedicated staff of the participating libraries, including the Ernst Mayr Library of the Museum of Comparative Zoology. Thank you to Jim Hanken and the MCZ Curators and staff who have supported us in this endeavor.
