This year, ACRL once again seeks to celebrate and recognize the accomplishments of its peers, honoring the very best in academic librarianship. ACRL urges members to nominate colleagues whose work has influenced their thinking and growth as an academic librarian, and whose contributions merit recognition by the profession. Member nominations will ensure that the pool of candidates for each award remains both competitive and distinguished. Nominations and supporting materials for most awards must be submitted by December 4, 2015. More information, including submission procedures, past winners, criteria and contact information, is available in the awards section of the ACRL website: http://www.ala.org/acrl/awards -Steve Steven K.
