Conservation efforts, disaster recovery featured among selections
Documents detailing rules for healthy eating, natural disaster recovery efforts, and wildlife conservation efforts were among the 11 publications that made the cut for the latest South Carolina State Library's Notable State Documents list.
The annual award is meant to call attention to the most informative documents released by state agencies in 2016. Awards will be presented to the winning agencies and authors on March 17 at 10:00 a.m. at the South Carolina State Library in Columbia.
A panel of librarians and state employees selected the documents for inclusion on the list, grading the publications based on their designs, writing styles, and breadth of information. The judges chose a diverse group of documents for recognition.
Director Leesa Aiken said the yearly award showcases some of the strongest work completed by state agencies.
"South Carolina state documents provide a wealth of information, statistics, and share a broad range of knowledge about our state," Aiken said. "I am pleased that we are able to publicly recognize these important publications and websites as notable documents and it is my hope that all South Carolina state agencies continue to produce high quality documents such as these."
