PAM Awards: Call for Nominations
The PAM Awards Committee is seeking nominations for the 2009 PAM Division Award and the 2009 PAM Achievement Award. Please help us find and recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to the PAM Division and to the profession. Nominations are due by March 1, 2009.
The PAM Division Award is given for a significant contribution to the literature of physics, mathematics, or astronomy, or to honor work which demonstrably improves the exchange of information in physics, mathematics, or astronomy. The contribution should also significantly benefit libraries or enhance the ability of librarians to provide service. It should be special--above and beyond the normal job requirements of the individual(s) or group concerned. The individual(s) or group so honored need not be, but may be, an SLA/PAM member.
The PAM Achievement Award is reserved for those recipients whose professional work is marked by distinction and dedication to librarianship in astronomy, mathematics and/or physics. The purpose of the award is to recognize those division members who have made outstanding contributions to the division.
Award recipients will be honored at the Annual Business Meeting where they will be presented with a framed certificate and invited to bring a guest for a celebratory dinner with the PAM Chair and the Awards Committee Chair.
More details and guidelines for nominations are on the awards section of the PAM web site, at http://www.sla.org/division/dpam/manual/awards/index.html
