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 cumulative

the arrangement of the main text merits recognition as a major reference
or research tool.
