    o   The Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table would like to learn of your choices for significant new research related to the understanding and promotion of multiculturalism in libraries in North America.  Works published within the last two years (2014-2015) will be considered for the David Cohen/EMIERT Multicultural Award.


    o   Please help us identify excellent articles by submitting your choice to https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/1796145 by December 1, 2015. If you would prefer to just submit the article, but not complete the information about the author, that is fine too.


    o   We may also include nominated titles on our EMIERT website so others may benefit from the research and publications.


    If you would prefer to just send an email with the citation and why this article was significant to you, please direct the email to Hazel Walker  at walkerh@ecu.edu
