ALHHS 2016-17 Call for Publication Awards Nominations
The Archivists and
Librarians in the History of Health Sciences (ALHHS) is currently
seeking nominations for its three Publication Awards.
Nominations can be from one of three categories:
·
Monographs published by academic or trade publishers.
·
Articles published in journals, trade or private periodicals of recognized standing.
·
Online resources produced predominantly by ALHHS members.
All nominations must meet the following criteria:
·
Published within 3 years of the award date.
·
Author(s) must be ALHHS member(s) in good standing.
·
The nominated monograph, article,
or electronic resource is related to the history of the health care
sciences or works on the bibliography, librarianship and/or curatorship
of historical collections in the health care
sciences.
Nominations that
meet each of the above criteria will be considered by the Publications
Award Committee. The Committee will look for the following benchmarks of
excellence when evaluating qualifying nominations:
quality and style of writing, contribution to the field, and relevance
to the profession.
Up to one
Publication Award in each category will be presented at the 2017 annual
meeting in Nashville, Tennessee. Winners do not need to be present to
win.
To
nominate a work, please send 3 copies of a printed work (photocopies or
PDFs of articles are acceptable) or the URL for an online resource to
the Awards Committee Chair. Please
include along with all nominations a cover letter giving the item's
complete citation (including all authors, publisher, and publication
date) and the category under which the nomination falls (i.e.
Monograph, Article, or Online Resource). Authors
may nominate their own works. Re-nominations are also allowed, so long
as the nominated publication still falls within the 3-year time period.
The deadline for nominations is Friday, January 6, 2017. For more information, please contact Awards Committee Chair: Emily Novak Gustainis,
