The ALCTS Blackwell Scholarship Award
Blackwell has created this award to honor the author or authors of the year’s outstanding monograph, article or original paper in the field of acquisitions, collection development, and related areas of resources development in libraries. The recognized author will be the recipient of a $2,000 Blackwell scholarship that will be donated to the US or Canadian library school of their choice. The Scholarship will then be awarded to a student concentrating in the acquisitions or collection development areas.
