Call for nominations--Esther Piercy Award

Nominations are being accepted for the 2011 Association for Library
Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS) awards for professional
achievement. One of these awards is the Esther J. Piercy Award.

The Esther J. Piercy Award is targeted toward newer members of our
professional specialties, including collection development and
management; acquisitions; bibliographic organization, cataloging,
and metadata; serials/continuing resources; and preservation and
digitization, and related emerging areas.

The Piercy Award, a $1,500 grant and citation donated by YBP, Inc.,
recognizes contributions to library collections and technical
services by a librarian with no more than 10 years of professional
experience who has shown outstanding promise for continuing
contribution and leadership. Winners will be chosen based on
accomplishments related to technical services and resources in such
areas as: leadership in professional associations at local, state,
regional or national level; contributions to the development,
application or utilization of new or improved methods, techniques
and routines; significant contribution to professional literature;
and conduct of studies or research in the technical services.

nomination, the date your nominee entered his or her first
professional position, and the nominee's resume or narrative career

Nominating a colleague for the Piercy Award is a great way of
recognizing the contributions of someone who has joined our
profession during the last ten years.  The Piercy Jury hopes to have
a challenging assignment in choosing one among many worthy nominees.
