Once again this year, and thanks to the generosity of our two sponsors,
H.W. Wilson and Worldwide Books, the ARLIS Research Awards Committee asks
for submissions and nominations for the three prizes to be given in 2005.

The best information is at the Awards website:
www.arlisna.org/about/awards/awards_index.html, but to summarize:

The Worldwide Books Award for Publications recognizes books, essays,
articles, or edited collections published in either 2004 or 2005, with up
to $1,500.

The Worldwide Books Award for Electronic Resources celebrates digital
projects or publications prepared in 2004 or 2005, with up to $1,500.

The H.W. Wilson Foundation Research Grant provides funds to defer expenses
related to research projects proposed or undertaken by ARLIS members, up to
$2,000.

Each category could recognize multiple awardees, and one applicant could
apply for more than one award. Many winners in the past have produced work
in art history or librarianship, but any scholarly project is eligible.

Applications this year are due November 4. The Research Committee will
notify winners, nominees and sponsors by the end of December. Awards will
be presented and publicized at next years national conference in Banff, in
May.

Please nominate yourself, ARLIS members you know, or whose work you have
admired.

Applications should go by postal mail or e-mail attachment to me, or to
Terrie Wilson, at Michigan State University, 100 Library, Lansing, MI
48824; [log in to unmask] Likewise, if anyone has questions,
ideas, or wants to get the process rolling, please contact Terrie or me.
