[Asis-l] Nominations sought for Kilgour research award

[Danielle Plumer]

Nominations are invited for the 2015 Frederick G. Kilgour Award for
Research in Library and Information Technology, sponsored by OCLC, Inc. and
the Library and Information Technology Association (LITA), a division of
the American Library Association (ALA). *The deadline for nominations is
December 31, 2014.*

The Kilgour Research Award recognizes research relevant to the development
of information technologies, in particular research showing promise of
having a positive and substantive impact on any aspect of the publication,
storage, retrieval and dissemination of information or how information and
data are manipulated and managed. The Kilgour award consists of $2,000
cash, an award citation and an expense paid trip (airfare and two nights
lodging) to the ALA Annual Conference. More information and a list of
previous winners can be found at

http://www.ala.org/lita/awards/kilgour

Nominations will be accepted from any member of the American Library
Association. Nominating letters must address how the research is relevant
to libraries; is creative in its design or methodology; builds on existing
research or enhances potential for future exploration; and/or solves an
important current problem in the delivery of information resources. A
curriculum vita and a copy of several seminal publications by the nominee
must be included. Preference will be given to completed research over work
in progress.

Currently-serving officers and elected officials of LITA, members of the
Kilgour Award Committee and OCLC employees and their immediate family
members are ineligible.
