2003 Elsevier Engineering Information/SLA Engineering Librarian Award

Information Outlook, March, 2003

The Engineering Division Awards Committee is accepting nominations for the 2003 Elsevier Engineering Information/SLA Engineering Librarian Award. The award is offered annually to honor a member of the Engineering Division and is sponsored by Elsevier Engineering Information, Inc. The honoree receives a $1,000 stipend and a plaque, presented at the business meeting luncheon held during the annual SLA conference. The Awards Committee will select the 2003 winner on the basis of criteria developed jointly with Elsevier Engineering Information. Candidates are encouraged to nominate themselves, or you may nominate an associate.

Many of you take your work-related competencies and contributions for granted, and do not think of them as extraordinary. We'd like to be the judge of that. Please send your nominations to the Awards Committee a the address below.

The criteria for nominations are--

* Membership in good standing for one year in the SLA Engineering Division as of January 1, 2002.

* Distinguished achievement in the engineering library profession through an exceptional contribution on the job, in the SLA Engineering Division, or in the industry at large. This accomplishment should have taken place within the calendar year immediately preceding the nomination; however, in selected cases, the Award Committee may recognize an on-going, long-term contribution.

Last year, Marilyn Redmond (former chair of the Engineering Division) was honored for her outstanding work with the SLA Engineering Division and at International SEMATECH.
