Colleagues:
This is a call for nominations for the Worldwide Books Award for Publications. The purpose of the Award for Publications is to recognize outstanding publications by ARLIS/NA individual members in librarianship or visual resources curatorship, and the arts. By recognizing special achievement in these areas this Award acknowledges and encourages scholarly publication by the ARLIS/NA membership.
Projects may focus on publications which benefit the profession of art and visual resources librarianship, as well as the broader world of librarianship, through such means as compilation and dissemination of information, translation of original scholarship, analysis of our professions, or the enhancement of access to information. In addition, eligible projects include those which result in original scholarship in the literary, musical, architectural and visual arts and aspects of visual and material culture.
Recipients may receive awards ranging from a certificate of merit to a cash award of up to $1,500. The work must have been published during the 2007 or 2008 calendar year. For the 2008 awards, all calendar year 2007 publications and any 2008 publications whose nominations are postmarked by the January 20, 2009 nomination deadline will be eligible.
Guidelines and the application form are available on the Awards and Honors page of the ARLIS/NA website.
Sincerely,
