Dear Colleagues: Just a reminder that if there is someone whom you would like to nominate for the Distinguished Service Award for 2003, you may want to start putting together your nomination package in the very near future. There is a great deal of documentation to assemble, especially as members of the award committee are obliged to depend ENTIRELY on this documentation in order to make their decision. For guidelines, look carefully at BOTH of the sources cited below. You will see that the award encompasses quite a broad range of types of service. Section L-10 of the ARLIS/NA Policy Manual includes helpful standards for nominators. The award honors an individual of any country whose exemplary service in art librarianship, visual resources curatorship, or a related field, has made an outstanding national or international contribution to art information and/or art librarianship. Guidelines, including criteria, eligibility (recipients need not be members of ARLIS/NA), and procedures for nominations, are available on the ARLIS /NA website at: <http://www.arlisna.org/dsa98.htm>. Other important and helpful details are available online in Section L-10 of the ARLIS/NA Policy Manual. The deadline for nominations is Friday, 13 September 2002.
