Call for nominations for the 2026 Eli M. Oboler Award!

  • 1.  Call for nominations for the 2026 Eli M. Oboler Award!

    Posted 21 days ago

    Hello!

    I'm a member of the Intellectual Freedom Round Table's Oboler Award Committee, writing to encourage nominations for the 2026 Eli M. Oboler Award. 

    This year ALA's Intellectual Freedom Round Table is soliciting nominations for articles on the topic of intellectual freedom. This can include matters of ethical, political, or social concerns related to intellectual freedom. The article should have been published on the local, state, or national level in English or English translation in the 2024 or 2025 calendar years up through the end of December 2025. You can find more details and the submission form at the Oboler Award website.

    Submissions are due by January 30, 2026.

    Please feel free to share this request broadly!

    Thank you!

    Annah Hackett on behalf of the 2026 Eli M. Oboler Memorial Award Committee
