Call for Nominations: 2020 LIRT Awards
In this upcoming season of gifts and gratitude, consider gifting someone else or yourself the honor of a LIRT Awards submission!
The ALA LIRT (Library Instruction Round Table) welcomes your submissions for two awards created to recognize excellence in information literacy and instruction. Submissions from all types of libraries are encouraged. Winners will receive a $1,000 award, a plaque, and a $500 travel stipend to be used to attend the 2020 ALA Annual Conference in Chicago, IL, where the awards will be presented.
- The LIRT Librarian Recognition Award honors a librarian for their contributions to information literacy and instruction.
- The LIRT Innovation in Instruction Award honors a library for their innovative approach to information literacy and instruction.
