Feedback from Honorees
"Beyond receiving our prestigious award from this esteemed organization, the feedback that we receive from practicing educators who are part of the judging committee, let us know, first-hand, that our products answer their call. Comments received allow us to tailor our marketing messages to highlight aspects of our products that people find most beneficial. Aside from the thrill of receiving an award from an organization of this caliber, the criteria of how a company is awarded has deeper meaning as it is accompanied with useful feedback derived from experienced practitioners."

"We took part in the modern awards last year by LibraryWorks and received Product of the Year. Our company was elated over the results.

This has led to not only greater market exposure, but greater revenue."

"There are very few, if any, award programs that recognize scanning hardware for library use. For the end user, the Modern Library Awards are a helpful stamp of approval. For the manufacturer and vendor, the MLAs are a validation of quality product. It's always better when someone else gives your product a glowing review, isn't it? Crowley's gold and silver awards last year helped to open the doors of discussion at trade shows, on social media and with the press. One year later, we still get mileage out of the Modern Library Awards."
Cheri Baker, Director of Communications | Crowley
