Elsevier, a global leader in research publishing and information analytics, has announced the call for nominations for the 3rd Annual Karen Hunter Memorial Award. The award recognises demonstrated evidence of the desire to encourage collaborations between librarians and publishers, or exemplar experience with advancing information dissemination via technology. Awardees receive $5000 and support to attend a virtual award reception, to be announced in early 2021.
The most recent 2020 Karen Hunter Memorial Award was awarded to the institutional repository team at Montclair State University’s Harry A. Sprague Library.
The Elsevier Karen Hunter Memorial Award was established in 2018 to honor Karen’s legacy. In her four decades at Elsevier, Karen led groundbreaking initiatives in scholarly communications in partnership with the research community.
Demonstrated evidence can be a project, a product, a publication, a program event, a testimony, or other form of collaboration between librarians and publishers or a technological advancement. The collaboration or technological development does not need to be related to Elsevier.
The awardee is selected by Elsevier’s North American Library Advisory Board (NALAB). Award criteria include being: a library team or member of library staff, currently employed within the United States or Canada, any kind of librarian, able to attend accept the award and participate in the Hunter Forum if requested, and willing to say a couple words of award acceptance at the Hunter Forum.
