THE LIANZA AWARD
The LIANZA Prize was established in 1982 as the NZLIA prize and renamed in 1999. It commemorated the establishment in 1942 of the Association’s certificate course, the forerunner for many years of the New Zealand Library Studies Certificate, and the long-standing interest of LIANZA in the students of those courses. The LIANZA Prize has been offered in recent years to Open Polytechnic students completing Level 5 or 6 library diplomas. It was renamed the LIANZA Award in 2019. The award is awarded to a student who is judged by their institution to have the highest overall academic achievement in either the Level 5 (NZ3466 or OP5205) or the Level 6 (OP6208) diplomas.
