LOIS
SWAN JONES PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AWARD
ARLIS Texas-Mexico members voted to fund one award to an ARLIS/Texas-Mexico
chapter member of $500 to assist travel to the 2009 ARLIS/NA conference in
Indianapolis, Indiana, April 16-21, 2009.
The Lois Swan Jones Award honors Professor Jones, Emerita at the University of
North Texas, by underwriting participation of Texas-Mexico chapter members at
the national meeting. While first-time conference attendees are especially
encouraged, the award committee urges everyone with interest and need to apply.
The primary criterion is that applicants not have full institutional funding.
Previous winners are eligible. A description of the award, procedures for
applying, and a list of previous recipients is on the chapter Web site at http://www.arlis-txmx.org/lsjaward
The deadline for receipt of applications is Friday, February 13, 2009. The
award winner will be announced on February 27, 2009. Questions or concerns
should be forwarded to Award committee members: Tara Spies, Craig Bunch, Catherine Essinger and Edward Lukasek. Conference
program and registration information is posted at the ARLIS/NA Web site http://www.indiana.edu/~indycon/
