Alabama Library Association, College, University, and Special Libraries Division (CUS)
EBSCO Award for Research Excellence
2017 Call for Proposals
The College, University, and Special Libraries Division of the Alabama Library Association is interested in your research, and we want to reward you!  As we do annually, the Research Committee of CUS will be awarding the EBSCO Award for Research Excellence at the 2017 Alabama Library Association Convention in Montgomery. A research paper will be chosen for the award and the top three authors will have the opportunity to present at the 2017 CUS Research Forum. All presenters are 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. Please let your coworkers or other individuals who might be interested know about this opportunity!
Students in the SLIS program are especially encouraged to submit their research. Presenting at the CUS Research Forum is an honor to put on your resume, it will give you presentation experience, and it will provide you with ideas on how to fine tune your research for scholarly publication.

Benefits of submission: As well as receiving a monetary award from EBSCO, the winner of the EBSCO Award for Research Excellence will have the opportunity to work with the editorial committee of the Southeastern Librarian to have his/her paper published in the peer-reviewed journal of the Southeastern Library Association.

Criteria for Submission: Papers submitted for consideration for the CUS Award for Research Excellence must not have been previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere. They should also not be in the pre-publication process nor should they be in consideration for publication elsewhere.

Eligibility: Any member of the Alabama Library Association (including student members).

Sponsored by: Research Committee of the College, University and Special Libraries Division (CUS), Alabama Library Association and EBSCO, Inc.

Important Dates:
January 6, 2016
Abstracts of the papers are due (about 500 words). The author’s name should not appear on the abstract. Send with a one-page vita of the researcher as a separate document.

February 10, 2017
Complete papers are due from researchers who are selected to submit papers following the review of abstracts. Format instructions will be sent with notification of acceptance

Selection criteria used by CUS Research Committee:
•       potential significance of the research to college, university, or special libraries
•       validity of the methodology and analysis
•       originality and innovation
•       clarity and completeness of the abstract

The Award for Research Excellence is generously sponsored by EBSCO, Inc.
