Mary Jo Lynch Award
The annual award encourages library school student statistical research using public library data collected at the state and national level. Any student working toward a master's degree from a program of library and information science at an institution accredited by the ALA is eligible to apply. The student must be sponsored by a faculty member of a library school, have prepared research as an article for submission for publication to a library journal (state, national, regional) and the research must be based on state or national FSCS public library data.
The winner will receive an engraved plaque and funding for attendance at either the ALA national conference or the Public Library Association (PLA) national conference. Winners may be asked to present a summary of the research paper findings.
The award is sponsored by the American Library Association, National Center for Education Statistics, and the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science Library Statistics Cooperative Program.
