Award Purpose
The purpose of the Award for Publications is to recognize outstanding
publications by ARLIS/NA Individual members in librarianship or visual
resources curatorship, and the arts. By recognizing special achievement
in these areas this Award acknowledges and encourages scholarly
publication by the ARLIS/NA membership.
PROJECTS SUPPORTED
Projects may focus on publications which benefit the profession of art
and visual resources librarianship, as well as the broader world of
librarianship, through such means as compilation and dissemination of
information, translation of original scholarship, analysis of our
professions, or the enhancement of access to information. In addition,
eligible projects include those which result in original scholarship in
the literary, musical, architectural and visual arts and aspects of
visual and material culture.
AWARD AMOUNTS
Recipients may receive awards ranging from a certificate of merit to a
cash award of up to $1500.
ELIGIBILITY: FORMAT & MATERIAL TYPES
All formats are eligible, including hard copy, fiche, video, audio, and
digital. The following types of material are eligible: monographs,
journal articles, essays in collected works, individual numbers of
journals devoted to a special topic where nominee(s) appears as either
editor or author, or other types of materials which meet the purpose of
the award. The following types of materials are not eligible: theses,
dissertations, annual reports, posters, newsletters, or other types of
materials judged by the Committee not to meet the Purpose of the Awards.
PUBLICATION DATE
The work must have been published during the 2006 or 2007 calendar year.
For the 2007 awards, all calendar year 2006 publications and any 2007
publications whose nominations are postmarked by the January 15, 2008
nomination deadline will be eligible. In the case of journals, when the
journal enumeration lags behind the publication date, the Committee will
consider the date of the issue's appearance as the publication date.
AUTHORSHIP
This Award is available to ARLIS/NA Individual members only (including
special Individual membership categories, "Honorary", "Student",
"Retired", and "Unemployed"). Author(s) must have been an Individual
ARLIS/NA member during both the year of publication (2006 or 2007) and
the year of nomination (2007). Membership records held by the ARLIS/NA
national headquarters will be consulted in the event of any questions
regarding membership. Individuals may be considered for more than one
publication.
Group projects undertaken by not more than four authors are eligible. At
least half the participants must meet the above ARLIS/NA membership
criteria.
Institutional members, official groups, Committees, Chapters, Divisions,
and Sections of the Society are NOT ELIGIBLE to apply for this Award.
Current members of the ARLIS/NA Executive Board and the Research
Committee are not eligible. Past recipients of the ARLIS/NA Research
Award or the H.W. Wilson Research Award are eligible.
NOMINATION PROCEDURE
Publications to be considered for the Award may be nominated by
self-nomination, nomination by a colleague, or nomination by the
Committee. A completed nomination form must accompany each nomination.
If the publication is an article or essay, a photocopy must be supplied.
Copies of journals, monographs, CD-ROMs, videos, etc. should be sent with
the Nomination Form when possible. Where nominators, authors, or
publishers are unable to supply the Committee with a copy of the
publication, the Committee will consult the publication, as available, in
library collections. In the case of non-traditional media or forms of
dissemination, appropriate means for access must be indicated. Materials
will be returned provided a stamped return mailer is provided or COD
return arrangement is indicated.
APPLICATION SCHEDULE
Applications and accompanying material must be postmarked by January 15,
2008. Nominations will be reviewed by the ARLIS/NA Research Committee.
Notification of the Committee's decision will be mailed to all authors
and nominators no later than March 31, 2008. Public announcement of the
Award winner(s) and the presentation of the Award check(s) will be made
at the annual ARLIS/NA conference in Denver, May, 2008.
APPLICATION REVIEW PROCESS
The Research Committee will review and judge applications based on
several factors, including:
1. Overall contribution to the field.
2. Originality of scholarship.
3. Effective presentation of material.
4. Quality of writing.
5. Appropriateness of format for the highest potential utilization of
the material.
When works are judged to be of equal merit, preference may be given to
applicants who have not previously received an Award.
