[Sue O. Johnson]

The naming of this award for Norman Horrocks is very richly deserved. Norman is someone who has been willing to lead, support and help in every endeavor in which he has been involved. Bravo! Those of us who have worked with him have been the lucky ones! I was also one of his students at Pitt once upon a time, where he brightened the day.

           Norman Horrocks Award for Library Leadership

           The Nova Scotia Library Association is pleased to announce the
  establishment of the "Norman Horrocks Award for Library Leadership" which
  will be awarded annually by NSLA for leadership in the Nova Scotia
  library community.

           The award, announced at NSLA's Annual General Meeting on October 25,
  2003 in Dundee, Nova Scotia, will  honor the unflagging and constant
  support Dr.Horrocks has provided the Association from its beginnings
  to the celebration of its 30th Anniversary which will take place in 2004.
  The Nova Scotia Library Association was established in 1974 to promote and
  facilitate the exchange of ideas, problems and solutions among people
  concerned with library service at all levels and in all areas of Nova
  Scotia.  The General Meeting of the Association is hosted annually by
  various library-related organizations throughout the province.

           Dr. Horrocks is Professor Emeritus, School of Library and Information
  Studies, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Editorial Consultant,
  Scarecrow Press, Lanham, Maryland and Contributing Editor, "Library
  Journal", New York.  He was present in Yarmouth in 1973 to support the
  establishment of the Association, has been a member since its
  incorporation in 1974 and in 1990 received the NSLA Lifetime Membership Award.

           His work in libraries - for those who work in them and those they
  serve - was first recognized at the Manchester Public Libraries in England
  when he was the first recipient of the W.H.Brown Prize for public service.
  This was an annual reward, funded by a grateful library user, to recognize
  the contributions of the library staff to the public good.

           Dr. Horrocks is the only person to have received top awards from
  three national associations - the Canadian, British and American library
  associations. In addition, Dr. Horrocks has received awards from :-
           the University of Pittsburgh,
           Rutgers - the State University of New Jersey,
           The Atlantic Provinces Library Association,
           Beta Phi Mu - the international scholastic honor society for
  librarians,
           The Association for Library and Information Science Education,
           The New Jersey Library Association, and
           The Writers Federation of Nova Scotia.



           The nomination criteria will be posted shortly on the Nova Scotia
  Library Association web site,( http:nsla.ns.ca). The first "Norman
  Horrocks Award for Library Leadership" will be presented at the
  Association's annual meeting in October 2004.
