Lim-Yeo Pin Pin, Assistant Librarian I with the Reference & Information Services Dept in Central Library, was awarded the 1999 Suggestion of the Year Award under the administrative/computer and library professionals category. Pin Pin put in a suggestion entitled Having running heads on the NUS Courses and Curriculum booklets. She was awarded $200 cash and a Certificate of Commendation which came as a very pleasant surprise.

Pin Pin, who is also the editor of the NUS Library newsletter LINUS, came up with the suggestion when she encountered many NUS graduates coming back to the Library to make copies of the courses they took as undergraduates to support their applications for further studies. The course descriptions they copied looked like they could be those offered by any university and could be for any year. She thought it would be useful to have the university's name with the academic year running across all the pages thereby making the source more distinct.
