The Research Awards Committee has two vacancies and solicits Society members who are interested in serving.  The Committee will be co-chaired again this year (as last year) by Eric Schwab and Polly Trump.
 
Committee work consists of notifying assigned chapters (each member has two or three chapters to contact) of the submission deadline, reading and thoughtfully considering applicants' work, deliberating online with the Committee to make awards for the H.W. Wilson Foundation Research Grant, the Worldwide Books Award for Publications, and the Worldwide Books Award for Electronic Resources.  The heaviest work for Committee members falls in November when we read the applications and make our decisions.
 
The Research Awards Committee will meet in New York on Friday, April 16, 2004 at 4:30.  Attendance at the meeting is not mandatory for Committee membership, so if you are unable to be in New York, please do not let that stop you from volunteering. 
 
If you are interested in joining the Committee or have any questions, please contact Polly Trump by Friday, February 6, 2003. We would love to have you.
