Type of element: Restricted vocabulary

Entry guidelines

This element will be used to record awards of approval granted to a resource. Six separate awards have been chosen for representation in the FAILTE database. Other awards, which have not already been selected for FAILTE, may not be recorded immediately but note should be taken of them. (Please use Description and Comments elements for this.) The awards will then be investigated and assessed for inclusion as a value for this element.

A resource might advertise the award on its own site, or the cataloguer might otherwise be aware of the award. Cataloguers are not expected to perform an extensive search for an award. Icons for the awards to be recorded will be stored in the database and displayed to the end user as part of a resource's record, also providing links to the web sites of the awarding bodies. The awards listed below are to be included:
EASEIT-Eng,
Bobby,
EEVL Choice,
UCISA,
EASA,
Scout Report Selection,
