I am writing to you on behalf of the Art Libraries Society of North
America (ARLIS/NA) regarding an award opportunity relevant to your
students. The ongoing goals of ARLIS/NA include increasing awareness of
ARLIS/NA among library school students and encouraging library school
students to consider art librarianship as a career. To these ends,
the Society is offering the Gerd Muehsam Award. This is an annual award
of $500 (plus up to $300 additional travel reimbursement to attend our
annual conference) for a student paper or web project focused on a topic
relevant to art librarianship or visual curatorship.
As a member of the Gerd Muehsam Award Committee of ARLIS/NA, I urge you
to pass on information of this award to your students. Students enrolled
from last fall and spring and through the summer are eligible to apply.
Details of the award follow this email. An announcement is also available
on the ARLIS/NA web site at
www.arlisna.org.
To help our committee contact appropriate people in the future, please
let me know the names and addresses of other faculty who might be
interested in receiving this information and/or the means of contacting
student listservs at your institution.
If you do not wish to be contacted about these kinds of awards or other
matters of this nature, please let me know and I will remove you from our
mailing list.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
