The ALAO Awards Committee seeks nominations for the 2014 Jay Ladd Distinguished Service Award.
This award recognizes an individual who (1) has been an Academic Library Association of Ohio member for at least 5 years, and (2) who has promoted academic libraries and librarianship not only on his or her own campus, but also within the state.
The award also recognizes someone who has provided leadership in the promotion of ALAO through service such as committee membership, executive board office, or interest group office. The Jay Ladd Distinguished Service Award honors the memory of Jay Ladd, a founding member of ALAO in the early 1970s.
This is a wonderful way to recognize a colleague who has provided leadership in ALAO and in the profession. The recipient of this year's award will receive an honorary 5-year membership in ALAO and will be recognized at the ALAO 40th Annual Conference at Kalahari Convention Center on November 14.
The Committee for the Jay Ladd Award is comprised of: Betsy Blankenship, Chair; Eboni Johnson, Brian Gray, and past winners John Burke and Lois Szudy. Both have graciously agreed to sit on the committee for a special three-month term. See the list of past awardees.
Please submit your nominations by Monday, October 6, 2014.
