The NewsBank/Readex/GODORT/ALA Catharine J. Reynolds Award provides funding for
research in the field of documents librarianship, or in a related area
that would benefit the individual's performance as a documents librarian
or make a contribution to the field. This award, established in 1987, is
named for Catharine J. Reynolds, former Head of
Government Publications at the University of Colorado, Boulder. It is
supported by an annual contribution of $2,000 from the NewsBank/Readex
Corporation.
Applications for the NewsBank/Readex/GODORT/ALA Catharine J. Reynolds Awards
are accepted from documents librarians. The awards support research in all
areas of government information, U.S., foreign, international, state,
regional, or local. The grant can be used to finance research costs, such
as computer time or including travel. Recipients are selected on the basis
of a well-defined proposal, potential ability to complete the project,
promise of future contributions to the profession, financial need, and
activity to the profession. Preference is given to GODORT members. Two
confidential letters of recommendation should accompany the application
form.
