Margaret Mann Citation
Deadline for nominations is December 1.
Purpose
The Margaret Mann Citation is awarded by the ALA ALCTS Cataloging and Classification Section for outstanding professional achievement in cataloging or classification either through publication of significant professional literature, participation in professional cataloging associations, or valuable contributions to practice in individual libraries.
Scholarship
OCLC Online Computer Library Center will donate a $2,000 scholarship to the U.S. or Canadian library School of the winning author's choice.
Criteria
The Margaret Mann Citation Committee bases its selection on nominations made by members of the profession or friends of the profession-anyone with a worthy candidate is urged to nominate that person.
Achievements to be considered include:
- Notable publications, such as an article, pamphlet, or book;
- Outstanding contribution to the activities of professional cataloging associations;
- Outstanding contribution to the technical improvement of cataloging and classification and/or the introduction of a new technique of recognized importance;
- Outstanding contribution in the area of teaching cataloging and classification.
Except in unusual circumstances, the achievement shall have culminated within the last five years.
Nationality and professional association membership are not among the criteria.
Submission Procedure
The nomination shall include the formal statement of nomination with some rationale and a resume or narrative summary of the nominee's career and achievements. Nominations of those nominated in a given year but who are not selected for the citation that year will be forwarded to the following year's committee for automatic reconsideration. Further consideration beyond this requires renomination.
Endorsements or "seconds" are welcomed inasmuch as they provide substantive information on the achievements of the candidate, but the number of additional letters is not the sole determining factor in the selection.
For nomination information contact the chair of the Margaret Mann Citation Jury.
