EMIERT extends 2011 Multicultural Awards nominations deadline



The ALA Ethnic and Multicultural Information Exchange Round Table (EMIERT)
has extended its deadline for nominations for the EMIERT David Cohen
Multicultural Award and the EMIERT Distinguished Librarian Award, through
Friday, June 3.



The David Cohen Multicultural Award encourages and recognizes articles of
significant new research and publication that increases understanding and
promotes multiculturalism in libraries in North America. Nominees will be
evaluated on the validity of the publication’s cultural representation, the
extent to which the publication bridges cultures, and its demonstrated
significance and impact.



The EMIERT Distinguished Librarian Award recognizes any significant
accomplishments in library services that are national or international in
scope and that include improving, spreading, and promoting multicultural
librarianship. Candidates for the award will be considered for outstanding
achievement and leadership by significant collection building and outreach
services, and developing creative multicultural materials and programs.

*Winners of both the David Cohen Multicultural Award and the EMIERT
Distinguished Librarian Award will receive a plaque and certificate. *
