    The Library and Information Technology Association (LITA), a division of the
    American Library Association (ALA), and OCLC, Inc. invite nominations for the
    2017 Frederick G. Kilgour Award for Research in Library and Information
    Technology. The deadline for nominations is December 31, 2016.
    
    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 award consists of $2,000 cash, an award citation,
    and an expense-paid trip (airfare and two nights lodging) to the 2017 ALA
    Annual Conference.
    
    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. More information and a list of previous winners can be found on the
    LITA website.
    
    Currently-serving officers and elected officials of LITA, members of the
    Kilgour Award Committee, and OCLC employees and their immediate family members
    are ineligible.
    
    Send nominations no later than December 31, 2016, to the Award jury chair:
