Introduction
See also Research for librarians - portal
Academic librarians are eligible to apply for awards for contributions to their profession, distinction in providing services or based upon specific achievements. Most awards, admittedly, require one's peers to nominate them for consideration based on service excellence or for persevering under unusual circumstances. Some awards require considerable documentation. With respect to grants, these may be increasingly necessary for those librarians who have specific research projects or activities they have in mind or that they want to pursue. The main purpose of applying for grants is to assist academic and research librarians in completing their research goals. Applying for grants and awards is invariably competitive but well worth the effort if it provides some forward impetus or focus for academic librarians in reaching their goals.
