ANNOUNCEMENT:

The School of Information Studies at Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY,
is
pleased to announce a new award competition for librarians in all areas
of
the profession. The 21st-Century Librarian Award will recognize a
librarian who has been a leader in the evolution of librarianship in our
increasingly global and digital information environment.  The award is a
project of students in Syracuse's MLS program, who have developed the
criteria for the award and will judge the applications and make the
final
decisions. This is the first annual competition for what we hope will
become a major award in our field. This year's award carries a cash
prize
of $5,000.

Candidates for the award may be nominated by others or may submit
applications on their own behalf. The deadline for applications is March
30, 2001; third-party nominations must be submitted by February 28,
2001.
Details about the 21st-Century Librarian Award are available at
