listservs you feel might be interested]

Dear Colleagues in Library and Information Science,

Do you know a truly outstanding information science teacher?  Why not 
nominate them for the American Society for Information Science & 
Technolgoy's ISI Outstanding Information Science Teacher 
Award!  Nominations aren't due until July 1st, so you have plenty of time 
to prepare a nomination packet.

Award recipients will receive $1,000 and a certificate, to be presented at 
the ASIS&T Annual Awards banquet

For even more information, please visit 
http://www.asis.org/awards/teacher.htm.  The recipient of the award need 
not be a member of ASIS&T but must be directly engaged in teaching some 
aspect of information science on a continuing basis, in an academic or a 
non-academic setting.  Nominees need not be associated with an educational 
institution; however, teaching information science must represent a 
significant work responsibility although it need not occur within the 
traditional classroom. Workshops, speeches, publications, and 
presentations, in addition to academic courses, can also be used to teach 
information science.

Previous recipients of the award are ineligible, as are members of the 
Education Committee during the year of the award.
