The purpose of the MAC Award for Excellence by Health Sciences Library Staff (formerly known as the MAC MLA Outstanding Health Sciences Library Paraprofessional of the Year Award) is to honor an outstanding library staff member in a health sciences library and to recognize the critical role and important contributions library staff make to the development and evolution of health sciences libraries and librarianship. You may nominate yourself for this award with a supporting letter from a colleague or supervisor.
Candidates for this award need not be a member of MAC MLA. If there are no suitable candidates nominated, the award is not given. The award is usually presented by the MAC-MLA President during the Fall Meeting.
A plaque, one-year MAC membership, and a cash award of $250 will be award to the recipient.

- Provides consistently, excellent library service

- Encourages and promotes the library’s mission, facilities and resources
