Dear all,<\/p>\n
How do medical librarians make a difference? What are the standards for our profession…and where can we do better? Who has shown us the data that will help shape our future?<\/p>\n
The Ida and George Eliot Prize is presented annually for a work published in the preceding calendar year that has been judged most effective in furthering medical librarianship. Nominations are judged according to contribution to the profession, impact, arrangement of information, and expression of content.<\/p>\n
Please consider nominating a 2018 publication that represents high-impact medical librarian scholarship and that has asked (and answered) worthwhile questions about our profession and the communities we serve.<\/p>\n
The deadline for nominations is Thursday, November 1, 2018<\/b>.<\/p>\n
Submitters are asked to provide a citation and any other pertinent information regarding the availability, content, and impact of the work. A complete description of requirements and an online nomination form can be found at: http:\/\/www.mlanet.org\/p\/cm\/ld\/fid=244<\/a>.<\/p>\n Below are the last three publications honored by the Eliot Prize.
