[Ann Swartzell <a_swartzell@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi - as chair of the Ross Atkinson Lifetime Achievement award jury, I'd
like to make you aware of this relatively new ALCTS award.  
 
The Ross Atkinson Lifetime Achievement Award
recognizes the contribution of a library leader who has demonstrated
exceptional service to ALCTS and its areas of interest (acquisitions,
cataloging and classification, collection management and development,
preservation and reformatting, and continuing resources).  Selection of
the winner is based on the person's accomplishments, as they relate to
leadership including, but not limited to:  recognized leadership in
professional associations at local, state, regional or national level,
with emphasis on ALCTS; acknowledged leader in and by the library
community-at-large; significant contribution to professional literature;
exemplary research in ALCTS areas; or recognition of achievements, e.g.,
awards, citations, etc.  The award winner receives a citation honoring
his/her contributions and a stipend of $3,000 generously donated by
EBSCO.  Nominees must be ALCTS members.  Self-nominations will not be
accepted.

If you are interested in nominating a candidate, send nominations,
including, name, address, phone number and e-mail address of nominee and
nominating party; a formal statement of nomination, with a rationale for
the nomination; a resume, vita or extensive narrative career outline upon
which the award jury can base its determinations; and letters of
endorsement to:  Ann Swartzell, chair, Ross Atkinson Award Jury,

The deadline for nominations and supporting materials is December 1,
2008.
