       Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives
                    Honours and Papers Awards
 
 
     The Association of Canadian Map Libraries and Archives (ACMLA)
Awards Committee (Alberta Auringer Wood, Memorial University of
Newfoundland, St. John's (Chair); Pierre L pine, Bibliotheque
national de Quebec, Montreal; and Hugo Stibbe, National Archives of
Canada, Ottawa, Ont.) have unanimously selected Lorraine Dubreuil
(Rare Map Curator, McGill University, Montreal) as the 1993
recipient of the ACMLA Honours Award.  Through her long and
productive activities in ACMLA, Lorraine has made an outstanding
contribution to the field of map librarianship.  Not only has she
contributed as an ACMLA officer, Bulletin editor, committee chair,
IFLA representative, and member of many committees, but she has
also produced very useful bibliographies of maps of importance to
the history of Canadian cartography (Early Canadian Topographic Map
Series:  The Geological Survey of Canada 1841-1949, Sectional Map
of Western Canada, 1871-1955:  An Early Canadian Topographic Map
Series, Standard Topographical Maps of Canada, 1904-1948, and the
recently released Canada's Militia and Defence Maps, 1905-1931) and
prepared at least one edition of the Directory of Canadian Map
Collections.  We feel that the time has come to give this
recognition to her.  The unanimous approval of the Executive of the
ACMLA was obtained, as per the guidelines for the ACMLA Honours
Award.
 
     In addition, the committee has unanimously selected the paper
by Cathy Moulder (Curator, Lloyd Reeds Map Library/Urban
Documentation Center, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ont.),
"Training Student Assistants for Reference Service in a Map
Library", from the December 1992 issue of the Bulletin, as the
recipient of the $200 1993 ACMLA Papers Award.  After the committee
agreed that the paper was worthy of consideration, it was referred
to an outside person for evaluation.  The reviewer commented that
"it was a sterling example of a situation that all of us librarians
in academia go through - training students - and yet this is the
only publication on it I've seen."  The reviewer also felt the
paper was well presented and that the library literature had been
checked.  The reviewer did note an unpublished paper on the subject
seen about 20 years ago.  The reviewer also noted that "on the
surface [this is] not a complex matter; but the work involved in
setting up a student training manual certainly is extensive."  We
all felt that the paper admirably met the requirements of
originality, uniqueness of subject matter and depth of research.
