Award Acknowledges WebFeat's Support of the IFLA/SEFLIN International Summit

Ft Lauderdale, FL USA November 24, 2002 - WebFeat is a recipient of the 2002 Horizon award from the Southeast Florida Library Information Network (SEFLIN). The award recognizes WebFeat's distinguished service for the library network, including its support of the IFLA/SEFLIN International Summit, held in April 2002.

"We are deeply honored to be recognized by SEFLIN, and very pleased to have had the opportunity to participate in this very important event," said Todd Miller, Founder and CEO of WebFeat.

More than 150 librarians from 8 countries participated in the first IFLA/SEFLIN International Summit on Library Cooperation in the Americas. This international event was co-sponsored by the Southeast Florida Library Information Network (SEFLIN), in cooperation with the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA). The Summit was held in Miami, on the Biscayne Bay campus of Florida International University April 17-20, 2002. The theme of the event was "Models of Cooperation". The goal of the Summit was to open a dialogue between U.S. libraries and those in Latin America and the Caribbean.

"We are pleased to recognize WebFeat for its support of IFLA, as well as its continuing development of the MyLibraryService.org system," said Tom Sloan, Executive Director of SEFLIN.

WebFeat and SEFLIN have collaborated on development of the ground-breaking MyLibraryService.org system, enabling Southeast Floridians to access all 25 SEFLIN member library catalogs simultaneously, with a single search. MyLibraryService.org also searches a variety of information sources, including the Florida Memory Project historical photographic database.
