Leab Exhibition Award winners named There are four winners, one honorable men­ tion, and two awards of special commenda­ tion for the 2001 Katharine Kyes Leab and Daniel J. Leab American Book Prices Current Exhibition Awards. In Division One (expensive), the winner is Ulysses in Hand: The Rosenbach Manuscript, submitted by the Rosenbach Museum and Li­ brary. Diane Shaw, chair of the ACRL Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) awards committee, said of the catalog, “ Ulysses in Hand. … is an absolute treat. Showing a remark­ able level of detail for a slim exhibition cata­ http://mat%ce%b9ix bc.edu 436 / C&RL News ■ April 2001 log focused on a single work, Ulysses in Hand makes a difficult work of literature more ac­ cessible to the general reader by tying it to the places and events in James Joyce’s life. Finally, Ulysses in Hand is a testament to the foresight of noted bookseller and collector A. S. W. Rosenbach, who recognized the importance of Ulysses, purchasing and preserving the manuscript at auction in 1923 and preserving it for later consultation by scholars and biblio­ philes.” An Honorable Mention in Division One (expensive) is awarded to the Grolier Club for The Art of Publisher’s Bookbindings, 1815- 1915- Shaw explained, “[This catalog] enables the reader to trace visually the styles used and then abandoned through time and across vari­ ous geographical regions. Illustrated with full- color reproductions, this resource makes a useful reference for librarians and collectors.” In Division Two (moderately expensive), the winner is Word and Image: Samuel Beckett and the Visual Text, submitted by the Robert W. Woodruff Library and the Correspondence of Samuel Beckett Project of Emory University and Institut Memoires de l’edition contemporaine (Paris). “The catalog Word and Image was made to accompany an exhibition of illustrated editions of Samuel Beckett’s works,” said Shaw. “Word and Image effec­ tively evokes the creative kinship between Beckett’s complex works of literature and the visual art those works have inspired.” In Division Three (inexpensive), the win­ ner is de Grummond Children’s Literature Col­ lection at tire University of Southern Missis­ sippi Libraries for its submission, Curious George Comes to Hattiesburg: The Life and Work of H.A. and Margret Rey. “Almost anyone who has come of age since the 1940s will recog­ nize the appealing figure of Curious George, but his creators Margret and H. A. Rey also directed their talents into a number of literary and artistic endeavors,” explained Shaw. “Beau­ tifully illustrated in full color, the catalog high­ lights the careers, accomplishments, and hob­ bies of the Reys. Browsing through this de­ lightful catalog is sure to bring a smile to one’s face.” In Division Four (brochures), the winner is So Fairly Bound: Fine Twentieth-Century Book­ bindings and Illuminated Manuscripts from the Edward R. Leahy Collection, submitted by the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Memorial Li­ brary of the University of Scranton. Shaw said, “So Fairly Bound was designed to echo the sumptuousness of the modern fine bindings and illuminated manuscripts featured in the exhibition. This beautifully produced double­ fold brochure provides a short overview of the famous London craft houses of Riviere and Sangorski and Sutcliffe. This keepsake serves as a special remembrance of the treasures fea­ tured in the Weinberg Library’s exhibition.” Finally, two Special Commendations for Electronic Exhibitions are awarded to the Wa­ ter Resources Center Archives and Environ­ mental Design Archives of the University of California at Berkeley for Bridging the Bay: Bridging the Campus (http://www.lib. berkeley.edu/Exhibits/Bridge) and the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature at the Humanities and Social Sciences Library of the New York Pub­ lic Library for Nabokov Under Glass (http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/epo/ nabokov/). “Bridging the Bay: Bridging the Campus was selected for its overall graphic design and easy sight navigation,” explained Shaw. “This enjoyable and informative elec­ tronic exhibition exemplifies the great possi­ bilities that the Web holds for successful col­ laborative projects between a number of dif­ ferent repositories of printed and archival materials.” Nabokov Under Glass, said Shaw, “. . . was selected because of its good site orga­ nization and its integration of the narrative text and the accompanying images. This selection of items admirably succeeds in highlighting the diversity and comprehensive nature of the Nabokov Archive.” Calligraphed certificates will be presented to the winners at the RBMS plenary session on Sunday, June 17 during the 2001 ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco. Waterman receives Nijhoff Grant Sue Waterman, resources services librarian for German and Romance Languages at Johns Hopkins University, has been awarded the 2001 ACRL Western European Studies Section (WESS) Martinus Nijhoff West European Spe­ cialist Study Grant. The grant of 10,000 Dutch guilders covers air travel, transportation, lodg­ ing, and board for two weeks of research in Western Europe. Waterman will use the grant for travel to Belgium to gather research in support of her http://www.lib berkeley.edu/Exhibits/Bridge nypl.org/research/chss/epo/ C&RL News ■ April 2001 / 437 book-length study, “Collecting the Nineteenth Century: The Book, the Specimen, the Photo­ graph as Archive.” The study will investigate 19th-century theories of collecting and collec­ tions through examination of four members of the prominent Selys Longchamps family. Waterman has been working on the project since 1993 and will visit archives in Belgian institutions to complete her research. John Cullars, chair of the Martinus Nijhoff Grant committee, said, “This is an unusual project that will add to the store of knowledge in a variety of disciplines. [Waterman] has thought out and planned her project… in an admirably thorough and realistic manner.” Waterman presented a lecture on her project at the University of Edinburgh in July 2000, and authored “Archive of French and Belgian Publishing Prospectuses,” a finding aid pub­ lished by the Library of Congress. The award will be presented at the WESS Membership Meeting on Monday, June 18 at the ALA Annual Conference in San Fran­ cisco. Oberly Award goes to Smith Charles H. Smith, science librarian and associ­ ate professor of Library Public Services at Western Kentucky University, has been awarded the 2001ACRL Oberly Award for Bib­ liography in the Agricultural or Natural Sci­ ences for his book Biodiversity Studies (Scare­ Letter to the editor More than cut and paste I am writing in response to the C&RL News “In the News” column for January 2001. You talk about the way students do re­ search today, just cutting and pasting materi­ als. You then mention Questia’s new initia­ tive with the goal of 250,000 electronic books and wondered whether students would use sources only in Questia. It is going to be up to the teacher as­ signing the paper to demand more than a mere cut and paste job. Teachers could re­ quire that students provide an annotated bib­ liography, comment on various chapters that contain information in the book, analyze the book in question, etc. And as you suggest, teachers will have to insist that their stu­ dents not just rely on Questia, but look else­ where. crow Press, 2000). The award, given in odd- numbered years, is funded by the Eunice Rockwood Oberly Endowment and adminis­ tered by the ACRL Science and Technology Section (STS). “Biodiversity Studies is the first comprehen­ sive reference work pub­ lished on the extremely important and timely topic of biodiversity,” Jeannie Miller, chair of the Oberly Award selec­ tion committee, said, “Smith’s academic back­ ground in biogeography Charles H. Smithand evolutionary studies, in combination with skilled bibliographic tech­ nique, has resulted in a superior scholarly work.” Smith received his Ph.D. in geography from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana and his MLS from the University of Pittsburgh. He has published articles in the fields of bio­ geography, history of science, systems theory, bibliography and collection development, and a monographic anthology of the shorter writ­ ings of Alfred Russel Wallace. The award, $350 and a plaque, will be pre­ sented at the ALA Annual Conference in San Francisco, during the STS 2001 Program on Monday, June 18 at 8:30 a.m. ■ The student is short-changed by doing so little. Students who merely cut and paste are not really thinking about their project. They are missing out on the wealth of in­ formation that might be available if they read a little further or dug a little deeper. Librarians may be happy that their pa­ trons have found what they seemingly want, but the librarians will have to demand more of themselves and their patrons, too. Librar­ ians should try to find several types of sources for their patrons, not just something in Questia or NetLibrary or EBSCO or PROQUEST alone, but in a variety of sources. The librarian will have to be more demanding in the sense that the sources should be substantial and lend themselves to more than cutting and pasting.—Scott Cohn, Jackson State Commu­ nity College, scohen@jscc.cc.tn.us
