2011 Melva J. Dwyer Award - Call for Nominations
The Melva J. Dwyer Award was established in recognition of the
contribution made to the field of art librarianship by Melva Dwyer,
former head of the Fine Arts Library, University of British Columbia. It
is given to the creators of exceptional reference or research tools
relating to Canadian art and architecture. The Award is administered by
the Canadian Representative to the Art Libraries Society of North
America (ARLIS/NA) who is also the Chair of ARLIS/NA Canada, and is
adjudicated by a jury of three Canadian art information professionals.
The Award will be announced and presented during convocation ceremonies
at the annual ARLIS/NA Conference in Minneapolis in March 2011.
Criteria
- The title must relate to Canadian art and/or architecture, be produced
by Canadian authors and be disseminated by Canadian sources.
- The format of the reference or research tool can vary: print,
electronic, multimedia or other vehicles will be considered.
- The date of publication or release should be within the last two years
of the date of nomination, although exceptions can be made for
cumulative achievement.
- Monographs, exhibition catalogues and periodical articles will be
considered if the scope and quality of the bibliographic information or
the arrangement of the main text merits recognition as a major reference
or research tool.
