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/
