2003 RESEARCH AWARD
LIBRARY ACQUISITIONS, COLLECTIONS AND TECHNICAL SERVICES
http://www.elsevier.com/locate/lcats/

The Library Acquisitions, Collections and Technical Services (LCATS) 
Research Award provides an biannual prize of $2,000 for research in the 
broad areas of  collection management and technical services.  The award 
will be given for one proposal and administered in two parts: $1000 when 
the proposal is selected to fund the research effort and $1000 when the 
completed manuscript is submitted to Library Acquisitions, Collections 
and Technical Services.  The award will be granted to the individual, not 
the institution, and may be used to cover expenses incurred in conducting 
the research outlined in the proposal, including travel, postage, staff 
support, supplies, and other items.

The winning proposal will identify a critical issue in collection 
management or technical services and outline a rigorous approach to 
testing or solving the issue raised.  Proposals will be judged on their 
significance, clarity and originality.  The proposal should be a brief, 
concise description of the project (no more than 500 words).  A budget 
proposal and a one page vita of the author(s) must be attached.  Awards 
will not be limited to experienced researchers; however, researchers 
should present their proposal clearly addressing the following issues:

1. What are the aims and objectives of the research proposal? 
2. What methodology and data analysis procedures will be employed? 
3. What related research has been undertaken and/or published?  Please 
include specific citations. 
4. Is the research replication of a previous study?

The deadline for submitting proposals is September 15, 2002. 

Questions about the proposal can be addressed to the Editor, Carol Pitts
Diedrichs.
