MLA Ida and George Eliot Prize Nominations
Dear MLA Colleagues:
Help recognize MLA’s talented writer(s)! Take a moment and nominate a colleague (or yourself!) for the Ida and George Eliot Prize.
Presented annually, the Ida and George Eliot Prize is given for a work published in the preceding calendar year that has been judged most effective in furthering medical librarianship. The recipient receives a certificate at the association’s annual meeting and a cash award of $200.00 after the annual meeting. There have been several noteworthy publications of late, so please let us help bring attention to the great work being published this year!
A nominee’s publication will be judged according to the following:
∙ Contribution to the Profession: Does the item further medical librarianship by presenting new or innovative ideas of great importance? Or, does it contribute a new and beneficial report or answer to an existing situation or present a comprehensive state of the art report?
∙ Impact: Does the item show immediate or long range potential and implications for those in the field of medical librarianship? Does it provide philosophical contributions or practical applications applicable to a variety of medical library situations?
∙ Arrangement of Information: Does the item include all necessary elements for expression of the idea?
∙ Expression of Content: Is the published work well presented and easy to read? Is the style effective and consistent?
Deadline for applications is November 1, 2015.
