Ultimately the selection of the 1BNS title – including the long and short lists - is the responsibility of the Steering Committee and Selection sub-Committee. All 1BNS committees are comprised of professional librarians representing public, academic, and government libraries in the Province. The title recommendation process and the selection criteria are established and reviewed by Libraries Nova Scotia. All suggested titles, including titles on this year’s long list, go to the Selection Committee where they are weighed against the established criteria, read, discussed and considered very seriously.<br /><br />We recognize the necessity to offer selections which reflect the diversity of our communities and cultures both in the writers and in content represented and we work towards this in our consideration process.<br /><br />Recommendations for amendments to the current selection criteria will be put forth to the 1BNS 2017 program.<br /><br />All comments/suggestions received will be reviewed by the Steering Committee and forwarded to Libraries Nova Scotia.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00033079695373124385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2461905686597776469.post-37529876503967709072016-01-25T18:44:50.937-04:002016-01-25T18:44:50.937-04:00Correct me if I am wrong, but from my quick googli...Correct me if I am wrong, but from my quick googling of these authors it appears that you have not chosen a SINGLE person of color. I brought up this issue last year and it seems to have gone unheard once again. Zabethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834195371120835167noreply@blogger.com
