PAM Awards: Nominations Due
March 1
Stella Ota
The PAM Awards Committee is seeking nominations for the 2007 PAM Division Award and the 2007 PAM Achievement Award. Nominations are due by March 1, 2007.
The PAM Division Award honors an individual (or group) for work that benefits libraries or enhances the ability of librarians to provide service. The nominee(s) need not be a PAM member. Over the years, the award has recognized individual print publications, serials pricing studies, committee leadership, database development, and philosophical stances, just to note a few. The first recipient of the Division Award was D.A. Kempe in 1977 for the publication of Astronomy and Astrophysics: A Bibliographic Guide. The most recent honoree was The Jahrbuch Project.
The PAM Achievement Award recognizes PAM members who have made outstanding contributions to the division. In 1997, the first award went to four individuals: Ellen Bouton, Marlene Cummins, Sarah Stevens-Rayburn, and John W. (Jack) Weigel II. The most recent honoree was Kristine Fowler in 2005.
Help us shine the spotlight upon colleagues and champions who have made a difference in your professional life. Send in your nominations.
