Hello Fellow MAGIRTers,
We are accepting nominations for the 2020 MAGIRT Honors Award. This award is presented to a person or an organization in recognition of outstanding achievement and major contributions to map and geospatial librarianship and to the Round Table.
Please submit the nomination to twon@loc.gov with the following information:
- Name of Nominee or Organization, plus mailing address, phone number, and email address.
- Position Title (or Former Position Title) of an individual.
- A brief statement (one or two paragraphs) that explains why this individual or organization should receive the MAGIRT Honors Award.
The award recipient will be announced and honored during the MAGIRT Awards Reception at the 2020 American Library Association Annual Conference in Chicago. The recipient need not be present at the conference to be chosen, though we do all enjoy the opportunity to raise our glasses to the Honored. The recipient receives a certificate, a trophy or similar item, and a cash award. Remarks made at the awards reception and pictures of the recipients are published in base line.
The winner will be selected by the MAGIRT Nominations and Awards Committee (which is comprised of the MAGIRT Past Chair, Chair, and Vice Chair). A list of our past winners can be found at: http://www.ala.org/magirt/honorsawards.
Please send your nominations by January 31, 2020.
We look forward to your nominations!
