Bernama InfoLib came out top for the small library category, the Tun Abdul Razak Library of Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Shah Alam in the large library category, and the Malay Documentation Centre of Dewan Bahasa and Pustaka (DBP) in the category for medium-sized libraries.
The winners received their awards from the National Library of Malaysia (PNM) director-general Raslin Abu Bakar in conjunction with the annual general meeting of the Librarians Association of Malaysia.
Bernama was represented by general manager Hasnul Hassan.
Bernama InfoLib information manager Hasnita Ibrahim says the award will inspire the staff to be more creative in presenting and disseminating information.
This is in line with the effort of making Bernama InfoLib as a one-stopcentre for information.
She says participating in the competition for the first time was not too difficult as Bernama InfoLib already possessed the collection of information to meet the criteria.
Started in 2005, the award winners are picked based on their creative and innovative ways of presenting information to attract users.
Their good collection of information material and facilities are also considered.
