Nominations are being accepted for the 2011 Association for Library

resources. The First Step Award, honoring an individual who shows
outstanding promise in the field of serials, is presented by the
Continuing Resources Section of ALCTS
The First Step Award, a Wiley Professional Development Grant, provides
librarians who are new to the serials field with the opportunity to
broaden their perspectives, and encourages professional development and
participation at American Library Association (ALA) conferences and
Continuing Resources Section activities. The award consists of $1,500,
donated by John Wiley & Sons, Inc., and is applicable toward round trip
transportation, lodging, registration fees, etc.
ALCTS members with five or fewer years of professional experience in the
serials field who have not previously attended an ALA Annual Conference
are eligible. Applicants may apply more than once. Winners will be
chosen based on: commitment to professional development in the serials
field as shown by participation in continuing education activities;
attendance at workshops and previous participation in professional
activities; candidate’s written justification for the grant in terms of
commitment to and interest in serials related work; personal
professional development; financial need; two letters of reference; and
a vita.
