Gail Golderman, Schaffer Library electronic media librarian, and Bruce Connolly, reference librarian, were finalists in the "Teaching and Training" category of the ONLINE World 2000 Conference "Best Practices" competition held in San Diego in September. Their poster session, "Workshops on Electronic Resources/Library of Online Documentation," demonstrated how the library's in-house training program functions and displayed the custom documentation created to support training efforts. (See the Workshop Overview at: www.union.edu/PUBLIC/LIBRARY/training/index.html.) Connolly's "PLAY: The Online Music Reference Source for Librarians, Listeners, and Collection Builders" was also a finalist in the "Research/Resources" category. PLAY (www.union.edu/PUBLIC/LIBRARY/PLAY/index.html ) includes reviews, discographies of recommended recordings, and links to music-related Websites. Union was the only college library to reach the final round and the only organization with finalists in more than one awards category. The field also included the University of Illinois, Pepperdine University, and the Maryland Public Information Network, as well as corporate information and research centers from AT&T, Van Kampen Funds, Northwestern Mutual Life, Weyerhaeuser, and Lockheed Martin.
