Good Afternoon!

We all try to keep up with the latest trends in our field, so think back on everything you read over the past year...was there an article, paper or book in the field of technical services, including acquisitions, cataloging, collection management, preservation, continuing resources and related areas in the library field that really stood out?  

If you answered "yes", to my question consider nominating the publication for the 2019 ALCTS Outstanding Publication Award.  It's a great way to recognize an author(s) who made an impact on your professional life during 2018.  

Please send your nomination, along with a statement giving the full bibliographic citation of the article, book or paper being nominated and reasons for the nomination to me, Rene Erlandson Chair, Outstanding Publication Jury (official award announcement below).

It's important to acknowledge the work of authors we value, so please take a minute to send a nomination to me before the deadline Dec. 1, deadline.

Thanks!

Rene
