Eligibility
Publications include journal articles, books, book chapters, and published proceedings. Submitted publications may be authored by one or more individuals, a group, organization, or committee. Instruction Section publications are not eligible for award consideration. Publications from 2018 and 2019 can be considered for the 2020 award.
Criteria
Publications are judged on the basis of relevance to the field of instruction in academic or research libraries, originality, timeliness, and quality of writing.
Note: The Awards Committee has developed a rubric in an effort to narrow the pool of nominations and to provide some guidance during the committee's selection process. Rubric scores are not the deciding factor for each year's selection. You can view the rubric here.
Electronic submissions are required. Nominations must include a letter supporting the publication and a complete citation of the publication. Whenever possible, an electronic version of the article, book, etc., should also be included.
Send nominations to the Award Committee Chair, Chelsea M. Heinbach, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, chelsea.heinbach@unlv.edu.
