The Committee for the SMU Libraries Staff Recognition Awards is seeking nominations for the 2007/2008 awards. The awards recognize outstanding contributions to the Libraries and/or to the information professions, and service to library users. There are five awards carrying a monetary prize of $500.00 each. General considerations and criteria for these awards can be found here.

All members of the SMU libraries staff [except the directors of Bridwell Library, Business Information Center, Central University Libraries, and Underwood Law Library and those who have won the award within the previous five years (see list)] are eligible for the awards as defined in the criteria. The Awards Committee encourages any member of the SMU Community to submit nominations.

The Awards Committee will maintain confidentiality with regard to all nominations and will vote by secret ballot. The Committee will make recommendations for recipients of the awards to the Council of Library Directors, who will make the final decisions.

The Awards Committee is made up of the previous years’ winners. All nominations are due by April 18, 2008. Please submit nominations using the electronic form or you may pick up a paper form from any campus library and deliver it to Room 300, Fondren Library East (Attn: Cindy Ruppi) or send it via campus mail to:
