Revised August 2008 Function Statement 1 FUNCTION STATEMENT The 91ý Awards Committee shall make recommendations to the Executive Board and the 91ý Council on all policies relating to 91ý distinguished service, exemplary accomplishment, and/or achievement awards, and 91ý book/media awards to be made or sponsored by 91ý and its units. It shall administer all such awards presented in the name of the 91ý, known as 91ý General Awards. All 91ý General Awards shall recognize achievements within the profession. The Committee shall review periodically the appropriateness of existing 91ý General Awards; shall recommend modification, elimination, or suspension of existing 91ý General Awards as needed; and shall make recommendations with respect to proposed new 91ý General Awards. The Committee shall appoint juries to select recipients of 91ý General Awards (i.e., awards not administered by a unit of the Association), and shall coordinate the work of these juries and committees. The committee will work with other units of the Association to coordinate tracking, statistics, and other information about all awards sponsored by 91ý and its units. The Awards Committee shall be responsible for maintaining the 91ý Awards Manual, which includes information for all awards presented by 91ý or any of its units; it shall also provide general guidance regarding the procedural aspects of the Awards Program (such as information concerning deadline dates and publicity releases). Each unit of 91ý shall determine, within the general policies governing awards, new awards relating to its specific area of responsibility, known as "91ý Unit Awards." Each unit shall review periodically the appropriateness of its existing awards; and shall modify, eliminate, or suspend its existing award(s) and shall handle all details and expenses with respect to its award(s). Each unit will submit its proposals for new awards or changes to existing unit awards as prescribed in the 91ý Awards Manual to the 91ý Awards Committee at a regular meeting of the committee at least six months prior to the anticipated date of advertisement. The Awards Committee will review and provide assistance to the unit on questions of procedure and coordination with other 91ý units. All new awards must be reported prior to the implementation date to the Awards Committee, Executive Board, and Council. Each unit is also responsible for submitting complete records as prescribed In the 91ý Awards Manual concerning its award(s) to the Awards Committee in order that the 91ý Awards Manual may be maintained. 2 91ý Awards Policy POLICY Each year, the 91ý seeks to honor, through its awards program, those who have rendered distinguished Service to libraries and librarianship. Such recognition is made for individual achievement of a high order in some area of librarianship. The winners of 91ý awards for individual achievement constitute a "hall of fame" for librarianship. The juries making the selections are responsible for maintaining the high standards established by their predecessors in selecting individuals who have furthered to a notable degree the purposes of the profession. Administration of the 91ý general awards and grants is under the jurisdiction of the Awards Committee, appointed by the President-elect and approved by the Executive Board. The Chair of the 91ý Awards Committee appoints juries to select recipients of 91ý general awards and, along with the staff liaison, coordinates the work of these juries. No limit is imposed on the number of 91ý general awards and grants established, but it is expected that the number will remain small since the prestige of existing awards may be lessened with each new award that is established. The minimum amount for 91ý Recognition Awards is $5,000, and for Grants, $10,000. Offices, Divisions, and Roundtables are not 91ý association-wide awards and do not have to adhere to the minimum monetary amounts. All awards should recognize achievement within the profession and all aspects of the profession should be represented in the 91ý Awards Program. Overlapping in closely related areas should be avoided. 91ý Awards Policy 3 Policy (cont.) The winner of each award is selected according to the stated terms of the particular award. Neither jury members or their library can be considered for the award if they are serving on the jury making that award. Apart from these limitations, no member of the profession shall be either selected for or excluded from any award on the basis of the position an individual holds. 91ý awards are intended to recognize living persons rather than to honor the deceased; therefore, awards are not made posthumously except in situation where death occurs between the time nominations are closed and the winners announced. 91ý awards may honor retired librarians unless otherwise excluded under the terms of an award for which they have been nominated. For purposes of awards, the term librarian" is not limited to those with formal library degrees, but includes anyone with a recognized library affiliation. No individual may be selected for the same award more than once, except in such cases where the award is made for an accomplishment or project, such as a publication, not previously honored; further, no individual shall be selected for more than one award administered by the 91ý Awards Committee in any one year. A single individual; however, may be selected for more than one award over a period of years. 4 91ý Awards Committee AWARDS COMMITTEE The Awards Committee is responsible for the coordination and administration of the general 91ý Awards Program.
