The Maynooth University Library/New Review of Academic Librarianship
Award for Academic Writing sponsored by Taylor and Francis aims
to support the publication of an Irish academic library paper.
The New Review of Academic Librarianship (NRAL) is an international journal that has been
published for over 20 years and covers all aspects of academic librarianship. This year, I am the Guest Editor for the themed issue which will be launched at Maynooth University on 20 October 2016. This will coincide with the publishing of an online special “Irish” NRAL issue that will bring together papers written in the journal by Irish authors.
In order to celebrate these exciting developments, NRAL, MU and Taylor and Francis will award a prize open to Irish librarians to apply for producing an outline of a paper/ article that will be published in NRAL.
Purpose
The objective of this award is to encourage Irish librarians and those undertaking studies in
librarianship and related subjects to publish in the peer-reviewed literature.
Eligibility
Entries are welcome from Irish librarians and Irish students undertaking courses in librarianship who
wish to see their work published in New Review of Academic Librarianship.
Requirements
Proposals must be between 300 and 500 words and may be on any topic of relevance to academic
librarianship. Proposals must include:
Title
Brief introduction
Brief description of methodology
Results
Conclusion
A Judging Panel with representation from NRAL, MU and Taylor and Francis will be set up to consider the submissions. The Judging Panel will be seeking proposals that are grounded in research/
evidence/ wider context. For more information about NRAL see

Proposals will be looked at in terms of their:
Relevance to scholarly communication and academic librarianship
Clarity, coherence and organization of proposal
Originality and innovation of the work
