Time is running out to submit your scholarly work! The Illinois Association of College & Research Libraries (IACRL) Awards Committee is seeking submissions for the IACRL 2025 People’s Choice Award in Scholarly Publishing.
This award gives academic and research librarians throughout Illinois the opportunity to read and evaluate scholarly works by their peers and then vote on a favorite. It also presents Illinois research and academic librarians with the opportunity to share their findings outside of a conference or other formal setting. IACRL welcomes submissions on all subjects relevant to Illinois academic and research libraries.
The criteria for submissions, along with the process for choosing winners, are available on the ILA website. The deadline for submitting a scholarly work is 5:00 PM CDT on Friday, February 21.
Please send your submission to Sarah McHone-Chase, IACRL Awards Committee Chair, at smchone-chase@aurora.edu. If possible, send a link to the scholarly work; otherwise, submit it as an attachment, preferably as a PDF or in Word. If the work does not already contain an abstract or summary, please include one in the e-mail (a paragraph would suffice).
If you have any questions, please contact Sarah McHone-Chase, IACRL Awards Committee Chair, at smchone-chase@aurora.edu.
