Colleagues,

I am contacting you as Chair of this year's ALL-SIS Awards Committee. It is not too late to nominate someone to receive one of the SIS Awards. The criteria for all the awards may be examined at http://www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/awards/criteria.asp.

A Summary of the Awards

The Frederick Charles Hicks Award for Outstanding Contributions to Academic Law Librarianship recognizes an individual or group that has made outstanding contributions to academic law librarianship through continued efforts to improve law librarianship. The award, presented by the Academic Law Libraries Special Interest Section (ALL-SIS) of the American Association of Law Libraries, is named in honor of Frederick Charles Hicks, the first great American law librarian/scholar who was also the first academic law librarian to serve as president of AALL. See http://www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/awards/hicks.asp.

The ALL-SIS Outstanding Article Award honors section members for contributions to the enhancement of academic law librarianship through publishing. Articles published in any format in any publication other than Law Library Journal and AALL Spectrum (articles from those publications are eligible for AALL Article of the Year awards) during the year prior to the award qualify for consideration. Any aspect of academic law librarianship may be addressed. A plaque will be presented to the author or authors of the winning articles. See http://www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/awards/articleaward.asp.

The ALL-SIS Outstanding Service Award honors an ALL-SIS member who has made outstanding contributions to the SIS in areas of section activity and in professional service. See http://www.aallnet.org/sis/allsis/awards/serviceaward.asp.

On behalf of the Awards Committee, I encourage you to take the time to nominate someone for these awards. THE NOMINATION DEADLINE IS MARCH 31, 2008. Thank you.
