Librarianship


The American Library Association is accepting nominations for the 2006 John
Ames Humphry/OCLC/Forest Press Award for International Librarianship. The
deadline for nominations is December 1, 2005.

The award consists of a prize of $1,000 and a certificate, which are
presented at the International Relations Round Table Reception at the ALA
Annual Conference. The award is given to a librarian or person who has made
significant contributions to international librarianship.

Created on the occasion of the retirement of John Humphry as Executive
Director of Forest Press, publisher of the Dewey Decimal Classification, the
award recognizes Humphry's far-ranging work to internationalize the English
language editions of Dewey and to ensure that translations were adapted to
meet the needs of other cultures and countries.

All nominations should include, as appropriate, personal history or
curriculum vitae, with emphasis on achievements related to international
librarianship; bibliography, critical reviews, articles, etc.; and letters
seconding the nomination or other letters of commendation or appreciation.
