67.4 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 contact:
