The HARRASSOWITZ Award for Leadership in Library Acquisitions is presented by the Acquisitions Section of ALCTS for contributions by and outstanding leadership from an individual in the field of acquisitions librarianship.   The award consists of $1,500 and a citation donated by Harrassowitz in honor of Dr. Knut Dorn, retired managing director of the company.  

Winners will be chosen based on demonstrated leadership that has contributed significantly to advances in acquisitions, as well as on achievement in the field of acquisitions through contributions to professional associations, professional literature, the education of acquisitions librarians, and overall enrichment of the library profession.

If you would like to nominate a candidate for this award, who if successful would join company with past winners who include, most recently, Lisa German, Eleanor Cook, and Trisha Davis, as well as the other accomplished librarians chosen by ALCTS since this award began in 1995, please contact Caitlin Moen (details below). The deadline for nominations and supporting materials is Dec. 1, 2012. All nominations are confidential.
