Rename the IPL Contest!
In the fall of 2009, the Internet Public Library (IPL) will merge with the Librarians' Internet Index (LII) to create a new web presence. While you will still have access to the same trusted resources and services, you will notice several enhancements that are designed to give you greater access to the information you need, when you need it.
What should this new, combined service be called? YOU can help decide!
Starting today and running through May 11, we will be collecting your suggestions for a new name – you can submit as many as you want!
The first person to suggest the winning name will receive a $100 Barnes and Noble gift card, and 4 runner ups will be awarded a $25 Barnes and Noble gift card.
What are you waiting for? Submit your suggestions, tell your friends to submit theirs, and then check back with the IPL after Monday, May 18, to find out what our resource will be called!
