CALL FOR NANCY B. OLSON AWARD NOMINATIONS

I would like to invite nominations for this coming year's Nancy B.
Olson Award.  This annual OLAC Award "recognizes and honors a
librarian who has made significant contributions to the advancement
and understanding of
audiovisual cataloging" (including cartographic materials). Details
on the award and submission criteria as well as a list of past
recipients, can be found on the OLAC Award Web page:

The award recipient will receive an engraved plaque containing an
inscription recognizing his/her special contributions to the field.

The Nancy B. Olson Award is the highest honor for catalogers of
audiovisual and electronic media.  The award is named for the founder
of OLAC, a woman who continues to be an inspiration and resource for
AV catalogers.
