The Academic Library Division of the Georgia Library Association/Georgia Chapter of ACRL invites Georgia librarians and library science students to submit research papers pertaining to academic libraries for presentation at 2019 Georgia Libraries Conference. Criteria for selection include purpose, content, organization, scholarship, and references. Papers should include research on developments in academic libraries that present challenging opportunities for libraries and librarianship throughout the state, region, or nation. Papers should be approximately 2000 – 6000 words.
The Georgia Library Quarterly (GLQ) may invite selected authors to submit their papers for possible publication in GLQ.
GLA may award complimentary Georgia Library conference registration and a cash prize for the paper selected as the top entry. Complimentary conference registration may be awarded to the runner up entry. The two top papers will be presented at the Georgia Libraries Conference in Macon, GA. If no paper is submitted or papers are not deemed scholarly, then ALD reserves the right to not present an award for the year.
