(via IACRL)<\/p>\n

This is a reminder that the Illinois Association of College & Research Libraries (IACRL) Awards Committee\u00a0is seeking submissions for\u00a0the People’s Choice Award in Scholarly Publishing. This award will give academic and research librarians\u00a0throughout Illinois the opportunity to read and evaluate scholarly works by their peers and then vote on a favorite. It will also present\u00a0Illinois research and academic\u00a0librarians with\u00a0the opportunity to share their findings outside of a conference or other formal setting.\u00a0IACRL welcomes submissions on all subjects relevant to Illinois academic and research libraries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The criteria for submissions,\u00a0along with the process for choosing winners, are below.\u00a0\u200bThe deadline for submitting a scholarly work is\u00a05:00 PM Central Time\u00a0on Wednesday, July 1<\/strong>. Please send your submission to Eric Edwards, IACRL Awards Committee Chair, at eedwards@ilsos.gov<\/a>. If possible, send a link to the scholarly work; otherwise, submit it as an attachment, preferably as a\u00a0PDF or in\u00a0Word. If the work does not already contain an abstract or summary, please include one in the e-mail (a paragraph would suffice).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Once the Awards Committee has received the submissions and confirmed that they meet the criteria, voting will take place via electronic ballot in July or August. Voting will last for 30 days. The Awards Committee\u00a0will then announce the winners, and those individuals will have the opportunity to present their work in a special webinar or at a future meeting of the IACRL Journal\u00a0Club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you have any questions, please contact Eric Edwards. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
