Submissions are now being accepted for the 2024 IACRL People’s Choice Award in Scholarly Publishing. The IACRL People’s Choice Award in Scholarly Publishing was established in 2020. 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.
Voting is open to all staff members at Illinois academic and research libraries, consortia, and related organizations. There will be a first-place, second-place, and third-place recipient. (Ties for each place are acceptable.) The winners will have the opportunity to present on their articles either in a special webinar or at a future meeting of the IACRL Journal Club.
The deadline for submitting a scholarly work is 5:00 PM CDT on Friday, February 9, 2024. More information, including the criteria by which voters will evaluate submissions, is available here. Please send submissions to Dan Mathews, IACRL Past President and Awards Committee Chair, at matthewsd29@morainevalley.edu.
