Awards Update: ACRL Awards Program to Resume in 2025–2026
Abstract
The ACRL Awards Program recognizes and assists outstanding members of the academic
and research library profession through three types of awards: achievement and distinguished
service awards, research and travel grants, and publication awards and grants.
The ACRL currently has 20 awards and grants, which are juried by 16 award committees
appointed by the award or grant’s administering unit.1
In 2021, the ACRL Board of Directors paused the ACRL Awards Program to explore how
it could better align with the association’s principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI)
and to evaluate its overall effectiveness. Since then, ACRL has convened two task forces to
review the program and recommend strategic improvements
