Dear colleagues, Good morning! This is just a brief reminder that the below event is scheduled for today, January 9, at 3p ET/12p PT. We look forward to the conversation! Best, The 2022 ARLIS/NA Applauds Award Committee --- Happy new year! The ARLIS/NA Applauds Award subcommittee previously sent out a call for nominations for the 2022 ARLIS/NA Applauds Award<https://www.arlisna.org/arlisna-applauds-award>. This Award honors an individual or a group of up to five persons to recognize an outstanding contribution to the Society's work during the calendar year. This year's nomination deadline is January 17, 2023. As Applauds is a relatively new award, we know that many ARLIS members have outstanding questions about the nomination form or process.
