  Dear Colleague,

We are attempting to announce widely to the library community the 
availability of the second annual 21st-Century Librarian Award. If you 
think it is appropriate, would you share the announcement below with your list?

For the second year, the Syracuse University School of Information Studies 
is pleased to offer the 21st-Century Librarian Award, recognizing 
librarians' work in shaping the new information environment that is 
emerging on a global scale. The 21st-Century Librarian Award will provide 
$5,000 to a librarian who has been a leader in the evolution of the 
librarianship in this new milieu.

This year, the School of Information Studies is adding a second award, the 
21st-Century Librarian of Central New York Award. This award will provide 
$1000 to a librarian in the Central New York region who has been a leader 
in the evolution of the profession in Central New York. All applicants will 
be eligible for the $5,000 award, and applicants from Central New York will 
automatically be eligible for the regional award.

Candidates for the award may be nominated by a third party, or they may be 
self-nominated. Nominees from last year are welcome to compete again, 
either by being renominated by a third party or by renominating themselves. 
Application materials must be resubmitted electronically.

Full details are available at the award's website,
