MELVA J. DWYER AWARD
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/Canada, and is adjudicated by a jury of three Canadian art information professionals.
The jury members for the 2003 award are:
Margaret English, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario
Melinda Reinhart, Concordia University, Montréal, Québec
Kathy Zimon, University of Calgary (retired), Calgary, Alberta
The Award will be announced and presented during convocation ceremonies
at the annual ARLIS/NA Conference in Baltimore in March 2003.
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

or research tool.
