DANIEL T. RICHARDS PRIZE

The Medical Library Association/Collection Development Section (MLA/CDS) is
seeking nominations for the Daniel T. Richards Prize for writing related to
collecting in the health sciences.  Dan Richards (1945-1995) was instrumental in
establishing biomedical library collection development as a rigorous discipline
with a distinct methodology.  To honor his memory and his contributions, an
award sponsored by the MLA/CDS was created in 1998.  A $250 cash award along
with a certificate will be presented to the winner at the 2000 MLA/CDS meeting
held during the Medical Library Association annual meeting in Vancouver.

The Richards Prize will be presented to an individual who has created a work in
any format (print, audiovisual, electronic, etc.) related to collecting in the
health sciences.  This work must be widely available to the library community.

The deadline for nominations (self-nominations are encouraged) is January 1,
2000.  To receive complete information on the nominating process, please
