Recognizing that effective First Year Experience (FYE) programs can impact everything from retention rates to overall student success, Credo has partnered with Case Western Reserve University to honor libraries and librarians who are innovating in the field. As libraries are tasked with supporting FYE initiatives, enterprising librarians have emerged with creative ways to teach academic skills to first year students, build connections between students and their institutions, and orient students to institutional resources.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Case Western Reserve University and Credo Reference, as active participants in the FYE space, seek to recognize a librarian and library who are innovating new and interesting ways to impact first year students. Every year, one library and one librarian will receive a prize of $1,500 and award plaque in honor of their outstanding achievement. The first awards will be presented at the <\/span>2018 Personal Librarian & FYE Library Conference<\/a><\/span> in Cleveland, OH hosted by the Kelvin Smith Library of Case Western Reserve University. Subsequent awards will be presented at ACRL and the Personal Librarian & FYE conference, which occur on alternating years.<\/span><\/p>\n Nominations will be accepted until Sunday, October 1<\/b>. Individuals can self-nominate or nominate someone else or a library for the appropriate awards. Nominations require answers to 5 open-ended questions with a 250-500 word count as well as at least 1 letter of support, supporting documents and supporting digital resources. Winners will be selected by the committee of five judges noted below. Any working professional librarian in North America (United States, Canada, Mexico) is eligible. “Professional” means a person in possession of a master’s degree in Library and\/or Information Science and\/or holding a position designated “professional” in a library or library service.<\/span><\/p>\n To nominate an individual librarian, click here<\/a>.
