The Geoscience Information Society Best Paper Award Committee has selected Linda R. Musser's article titled "Progress in the Citation of Geoscience Data" for its 2009 Best Paper Award. The members of the committee believe that her paper performs a valuable service by educating the geoscience community about the importance of citing the sources of data and explaining a publication's stand on the issue of data citation. The paper is published in volume 39 of Proceedings of the Geoscience Information Society and was based on a paper given at the 2008 meeting of the Society.

Linda R. Musser is Librarian and Head of the Fletcher L. Byrom Earth and Mineral Sciences Library at Pennsylvania State University.
