CHICAGO — Celebrate this year’s winners of the Reference and User Services Association’s (RUSA) achievement awards in adult reference and library services at the RUSA Awards Reception and Volunteer Appreciation Party, which will be held from 5 - 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 30 at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, Prairie Room.
Each year RUSA’s award committees review dozens of worthy nominations and proposals for some of the profession’s most coveted awards. Nearly two dozen awards, including the Isadore Gilbert Mudge Award, RUSA’s highest honor recognizing distinguished contributions to the field of reference librarianship, will be presented to honor this year’s most outstanding reference services professionals and their efforts to provide exemplary services to their patrons in the changing information landscape.
