Nominations are being accepted for the 2011 Association for Library
Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS) awards for professional
achievement. One of these awards is the *Esther J. Piercy Award*.

The *Esther J. Piercy Award* is targeted toward newer members of our
professional specialties, including collection development and
management; acquisitions; bibliographic organization, cataloging, and
metadata; serials/continuing resources; and preservation and
digitization, and related emerging areas.


  The Piercy Award, a $1,500 grant and citation donated by YBP, Inc.,
  recognizes contributions to library collections and technical services
  by a librarian with no more than 10 years of professional experience
  who has shown outstanding promise for continuing contribution and
  leadership. Winners will be chosen based on accomplishments related to
  technical services and resources in such areas as: leadership in
  professional associations at local, state, regional or national level;
  contributions to the development, application or utilization of new or
  improved methods, techniques and routines; significant contribution to
  professional literature; and conduct of studies or research in the
  technical services.
