Publishers and organizations that produced outreach-related resources submitted nearly 160 nominations. The magazine's editorial staff pared the nominees to 111 resources, which were placed into 16 categories. As in the past few years, Outreach did not award one overall Outreach Resource of the Year because of the variety of nominated resources and the subjects they covered.
