The award will be given for one proposal and administered in two parts: $500 when the proposal is selected to fund the research effort and $500 when the completed manuscript is submitted to Library Acquisitions: Practice & Theory. 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 winning proposal, including travel, postage, staff support, supplies, and other items. The winning proposal will identify a critical issue in acquisitions, serials, publishing, or collection management 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 (no more than 500 words) of the project. A budget proposal and a one page vita of the author 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. Please describe your methodology and data analysis procedures. 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 February 15, 1993. Proposals will be reviewed by a panel consisting of the editor-in- chief, the assistant editors, and three members of the editorial board. The winning proposal will be announced at the annual American Library Association Conference (in New Orleans in 1993) and in the fourth issue of LAPT for the year. Research for the winning proposal must be completed within one year of the date when the award is announced. Library Acquisitions: Practice & Theory reserves the right of first refusal of the completed manuscript. Proposals and questions concerning this award should be addressed to: Carol Pitts Hawks Editor-in-Chief Library Acquisitions: Practice & Theory 5380K Coachman Road Columbus, OH 43220 (614) 292-6314 FAX: (614) 292-2015 BITNET: CHAWKS@OHSTMVSA.BITNET Internet: hawks.1@osu.edu ******* END OF FILE ****** ACQNET, Vol. 2, No. 97 ****** END OF FILE *******
