College, University & Special Libraries Division - 2016 Call for Research Award Proposals
We are interested in your research and want to reward you!  As we do annually, the Research Committee of the College, University and Special Libraries Division (CUS) will be awarding the EBSCO Award for Research Excellence the 2016 Alabama Library Association Convention in Gadsden. A research paper will be chosen for each award and the authors will have the opportunity to present at the 20156 CUS Research Forum at the annual convention. Everyone is awarded a certificate from the CUS Research Committee for presenting at the CUS Research Forum. The Forum provides opportunities to present, as well as to receive feedback about your research.

Please do not pass up this chance to share your research with librarians across the state! I have included the criteria and deadlines for submitting abstracts and papers below.
