2001 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 winning 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 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, 2000. Proposals
>will be reviewed by a panel consisting of the editor-in-chief, the
>associate/assistant editors, and three members of the editorial board. The
>winning proposal will be announced at the American Library Association
>Midwinter Conference in 2001 and in an issue of LCATS for that year.
>Research for the winning proposal must be completed within one year of the
>date when the award is announced. Library Acquisitions, Collections and
>Technical Services reserves the right of first refusal of the completed
>manuscript.
