[Eril-l] Call for Nominations: ALCTS Esther J Piercy Award

[Gohn, Katie]

First and foremost-please excuse cross-posting as you will probably see this on multiple lists.

The ALCTS Esther J. Piercy Award Committee is now soliciting nominations for the Esther J. Piercy Award.  Being new to this committee, I wanted to better understand who Esther J. Piercy was and what she meant to our profession.  She was an amazing woman whose work many of us are continuing to build upon.  One thing is for sure, she embraced change and advocated for technical services and libraries.  If you want to know more about her, check out this Wikipedia article and the two issues of Library Resources & Technical Services (Festschrift issues) dedicated to her after her untimely death:
