Nominations for the Agnes Milstead Distinguished Librarianship Award for University of Wyoming faculty will be accepted through Thursday, Jan. 16.
This award was established by Agnes Milstead, a former professor of education and library science at UW. A committee composed of past recipients chooses the honoree, who receives a cash gift. There have been years when no one was chosen, which indicates the high standards for this award. Nomination criteria can be found here.

-- Has focused on any aspect of library management or on the art and techniques of librarianship.

-- Has made a distinction in information literacy instruction or development of course materials.
-- Has provided or secured special funding, collections or other major improvement for the UW Libraries or for teaching and research.
