Patrick Carr and Clint Chamberlain, Co-Chairs
The Awards & Recognition Committee is pleased to announce the beginning of its application cycle for NASIG’s 2008 grants, awards, and scholarships. Every year, NASIG awards student travel grants, awards for promising serialists, scholarships for library school students, and an international award to aid in serials research. Since 1988, NASIG has granted over 130 student grant awards—including 6 grants for Mexican students, 5 Marcia Tuttle Awards for international serials research, 9 Fritz Schwartz educational scholarships, 22 Horizon Awards to recognize up-and-coming members of the profession, and, beginning in 2006, the Serials Specialist award to an outstanding serials paraprofessional.
Expanding awards promotion has been a priority on A&R’s agenda for the year. For 2008, our focus is on reaching wider audience for NASIG awards and attracting a larger pool of applicants. In particular, the committee has slightly modified the requirements for the Marcia Tuttle Award for International Serials Research. Plans are also in place for increased marketing of all of the awards. For more awards information, please visit the NASIG Awards Web page at http://www.nasig.org/awards/. All awards will be presented at the 23d Annual Conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in June 2008.
