The ACRL-Oregon Award for Excellence is given annually for a project or initiative, undertaken by an individual or a group, that has significantly improved Oregon academic libraries or librarianship.

The award will be presented at the ACRL-Washington/Oregon Joint Fall Conference (October 19-20, 2017 at Pack Forest) and the winner(s) will also be recognized at the Oregon Library Association Annual Conference Award Ceremony on April 20, 2018 in Eugene. The winner (if group, one individual only) will receive registration to the ACRL Washington/Oregon Joint Fall Conference; group members will receive an engraved plaque.

Project members do not need to be ACRL-OR members.  The initiative or project that is the basis of the nomination must have occurred in the previous three years.
