The deadline approaches for applications to the three research awards: Friday, November 4th. Thanks to our sponsors---H.W. Wilson and Worldwide Books---the ARLIS Research Awards Committee asks for submissions and nominations for the three prizes to be given in 2006. The best information is at the Awards website: http://www.arlisna.org/about/awards/awards_index.html#research, but to summarize: The H.W. Wilson Foundation Research Grant, for expenses related to research projects up to $2,000. The Worldwide Books Award for Publications, for books, essays, articles, or edited collections from 2004 or 2005, with up to $1,500. The Worldwide Books Award for Electronic Resources, for digital projects or publications from 2004 or 2005, with up to $1,500. Each category could recognize multiple awardees, and applicants may apply for more than one award. Many winners in the past have produced work in art history or librarianship, but any scholarly project is eligible. The Research Committee will notify winners, nominees and sponsors by the end of December. Awards will be presented and publicized next May, in Banff.
