**With apologies for duplication** Colleagues in Dalhousie's School of Information Management are delighted to share this news: The Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE)* has established a new Award - the ALISE/Norman Horrocks Leadership Award. It was announced on 10 January 2008 at the 2008 ALISE Annual Conference in Philadelphia,PA. The Award is for an ALISE member of no more than seven years membership who has demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities in professional ALISE activities. It will recognize newer members for service to the Association rather than limiting recognition at this stage to academic achievement. The Award of a Certificate and $500 will be given annually starting at the 2009 ALISE Conference in Denver,CO. The Award is named for Dr Norman Horrocks, OC. Professor Emeritus, School of Information Management, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia,** He is a Past President of ALISE, former Editor of its "Journal", and recipient of three of its Awards, * The Association for Library and Information Science Education (ALISE) was established in 1915 as the Association of American Library Schools (AALS). AALS had grown out of a series of informal meetings of the Round Table of Library School Instructors held at the American Library Association Annual Conferences. In 1983, the Association changed its name to its present form to reflect more accurately the mission, goals, and membership of the Association. Headquartered in Chicago,IL, ALISE is the lead organization for library and information science education at master's and doctoral level in the United States and Canada. In addition its members include a number of international Schools. ** Norman Horrocks - see www.sim.management.dal.ca -- Fiona A.
