T
he 2021 Modern Library Awards (MLAs) is proud to announce its review scores from participating companies in this special
supplement to Library Product News. The MLAs are an unbiased program recognizing the elite products and services that serve
the library industry. Companies provided concise write-ups of their products/services and submitted them for review. These were
then sent out to the LibraryWorks readership — librarians in public, academic, K-12, and special libraries — who then submitted
their reviews on a 1-10 scoring system. Each judge had to have had experience with the product or service, and each participating
company also had to provide four references of library placements to submit their forms. The LibraryWorks staff had no influence on
the scoring. Awards were based on the following scores:
6.5-7.4 Silver 7.5-8.4 Gold 8.5-10.0 Platinum Highest Overall Scores – Product of the Year and Service of the Year
