Subject: Call for nominations (Esther J. Piercy Award)

The Esther J. Piercy Award Jury is seeking nominations for the Esther 
J. Piercy Award.  The award was established by the Resources and 
Technical Services Division of the American Library Association in 
1968 in memory of Esther J. Piercy, editor of Journal of Cataloging 
and Classification from 1950 to 1956 and of Library Resources & 
Technical Services from 1957 to 1967.  The award consists of a $1,500 
grant donated by Yankee Book Peddler, Inc. and a citation presented at 
the membership meeting of the Association during the ALA Annual 
Conference. This award is given to recognize the contribution to those 
areas of librarianship included in library collections and technical 
services by a librarian with not more than ten years of professional 
experience who has shown outstanding promise for continuing 
contribution and leadership.

Submission procedure: Nominations shall include 1) name of nominee; 
2) date nominee entered first professional position; and 3) a formal 
statement of nomination, with a brief rationale for the nomination, 
together with a resume or narrative career outline upon which the 
award jury can base its determinations. Letters of endorsement from 
others should provide additional evidence of the worthiness of the 
nominee. The number of letters of endorsement received for a nominee 
shall not be a determining factor in the selection process; rather, 
the evidence of the person's accomplishments that they present shall 
be the factor considered. Nominations for persons not selected for 
the award in one year may be resubmitted provided the person still 
meets the ten-year limit on length of professional experience. 
Eligibility is not limited by country, citizenship, or membership in 
a specific organization.

Criteria: Evidence of this promise is determined by the person's 
accomplishments, as they are related to technical services and 
resources, in such activities as: 

Leadership in professional associations at local, state, regional or 
national level; Contributions to the development, application or 
utilization of new or improved methods, techniques and routines; 
Significant contribution to professional literature; and 
Conduct of studies or research in the technical services.
