Engineering Division nominations open

Information Outlook, Nov, 2004

The SLA Engineering Division Awards Committee is accepting nominations for the 2004/05 Elsevier Engineering Information/SLA Engineering Librarian Award.

The award is offered annually to honor a member of the Engineering Division. Sponsored by Elsevier Engineering Information Inc. the award highlights the accomplishments and contributions of members of the Engineering Division to the profession.

Recognition comes in the form of a $1,000 stipend, a plaque and a presentation at the annual business meeting held during the annual SLA conference.

Based on criteria developed jointly with Elsevier Engineering Information, the year 2005 winner will be selected by members of the Engineering Division's Awards Committee. Prospective candidates are encouraged to nominate themselves, or an associate may nominate them.

Criteria for entry are:

* Membership in good standing for one year in the Engineering Division as of January 1, 2005.

* Distinguished achievement in the engineering library profession, through an exceptional contribution on the job, within the SLA Engineering Division, or within the industry at large. This accomplishment should have taken place within the calendar year immediately preceding the nomination; however, in selected cases, based solely on the committee's judgment, recognition may be given for an ongoing, long-term contribution.

All applications for the 2004/05 Elsevier Engineering Information/SLA Engineering Librarian Award must include: full name, address, telephone number and e-mail address for the nominator and nominee; a concise letter, maximum of two pages, highlighting the unique accomplishments and contributions of the nominee.

Nominations should be submitted by March 1 to: Committee Chair Janifer T. Holt Feldberg Library, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755; telephone, 603-646-3066; fax, (603) 646-2384; e-mail, janifer.t.holt@dartmouth.edu.
