Eliot Prize Jury – Call for Nominations!
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?
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.
Please consider nominating a 2020 publication that represents high-impact medical librarian scholarship and that has asked (and answered) worthwhile questions about our profession and the communities we serve.
The deadline for nominations is November 1, 2020. We apologize for the tight turn around this year, and look forward to reviewing the excellent submissions.
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/
