                Samuel Lazerow Fellowship
For Research in Collections and Technical Services
            in Academic and Research Libraries

This award fosters advances in collections or technical services by
providing fellowships to librarians for travel or writing in those
fields. Research projects in the compilation of bibliographies will not
be supported by this fellowship.

$1,000 cash and a citation donated by the Thomson Reuters.


        *Submission Deadline: Friday, December 5, 2008*

The proposals will be judged with an emphasis on the following:

    * Potential significance of the project to acquisitions or technical
      services work
    * Originality and creativity
    * Clarity and completeness of the proposal
    * Evidence of an interest in scholarship (previous publication record)

Applicants should submit a brief proposal (no more than five pages), 
double-spaced, which includes the following:

    * Description of research, travel, or writing project
    * Schedule for project
    * Estimate of expenses (e.g., travel, faxing, data analysis,
      computer time, photocopying, typing)
    * An up-to-date curriculum vitae should accompany proposal

Recipients of the fellowship are required to submit a 6-10 page report 
of the results of their research to the Association
of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) within two months of the 
project's completion. A 500-word summary for
possible publication in /C&RL News/ is also due at that time.
