The Isadore Gilbert Mudge -- R. R. Bowker Award Committee of the
Reference & User Services Association (formerly RASD) is seeking
nominations for this year's award. The award, established in 1958,
consists of a cash award of $1,500 and a citation to an individual "who
has made a distinguished contribution to reference librarianship. This
contribution may include an imaginative and constructive program in a
particular library, authorship of a significant book or articles in the
reference field, creative and inspirational teaching, active
participation in professional associations devoted to reference services,
or in other noteworthy activities which stimulate reference librarians to
more distinguished performance." Last year's winner was Dr. Joan Durrance,
a distinguished educator, researcher and author in the area of reference
librarianship.
The deadline for receipt of nominations is December 5, 1997. The award
is presented at the annual ALA conference next summer.
