From: "21 Century Librarian Award" <libaward_at_syr.edu>
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,
