[Asis-l] 21st Century Librarian Award

[Abby Goodrum]

Dear Colleagues,

I would like to call your attention to the third annual competition for
the 21st-Century Librarian Award. This award recognizes librarians who
have been leaders in the evolution of the profession in the new
information environment. The award is a project of the Master of Library
Science (MLS) students at Syracuse University's School of Information
Studies. 

The 21st-Century Librarian Award carries a cash prize of $5000. This
year a second award will also honor a 21st-Century New Librarian, with a
cash prize of $1000. Applicants for this new  award should be in their
first three years of post-MLS working experience. 

More detailed information can be found on the award website,
http://21stcentury.syr.edu.   Candidates for the award should be
nominated either by another party or by themselves. Please visit our
website for more details on how to nominate. Questions can be addressed
to: libaward at syr.edu.

We would also like to ask for your help in publicizing this award
widely.

Thank you for your help in raising awareness of the important role that
librarians play in the 21st Century.
