> Just a reminder to all LIS students (and LIS profs, and anyone who knows any LIS \
> students...) -- submissions for the Miriam Braverman Memorial Prize are due this \
> Friday, May 1. Full details are available at \

> <http://www.progressivelibrariansguild.org/content/award.shtml>!  
> The Miriam Braverman Memorial Prize is awarded each year by the Progressive \
> Librarians Guild for the best paper about some aspect of the social \
> responsibilities of librarians, libraries, or librarianship. Papers related to \
> archivists, archives, and archival work are also eligible. The winning paper will \
> be published in the summer issue of Progressive Librarian. The prize winner will \
> also receive a $500 stipend to help offset the cost of travel to and from the \
> American Library Association's (ALA) Annual Conference. The award will be presented \
> at the annual PLG dinner at ALA, and the winner is invited to present their paper \
> at the PLG meeting. In addition, the winner will be provided a press pass for the \
> conference, allowing for free entry to sessions and the exhibition floor with the \
> expectation they will write a short reflection for publication by PLG. 
> The award honors Miriam Ruth Gutman Braverman \
> <http://progressivelibrariansguild.org/content/bravermanbio.shtml> (1920-2002), who \
> was a socialist, writer, activist librarian, and longstanding member of the \
> Progressive Librarians Guild, a founder of the ALA's Social Responsibilities Round \
> Table, and a proponent of the social responsibilities perspective within Library \
> and Information Science. The award is intended to celebrate Miriam's spirit of \
> activism and faith in the power of people's collective social justice efforts and \
> inspire future generations of librarians. The award has been given annually since \
> 2003.
