Coutts
is delighted to announce the award of the “Coutts Nijhoff Study Grant”
to Michael P. Olson, Librarian for Germanic Collections at Harvard University
Dr Olson has been selected to receive the 2003 Coutts Nijhoff International
West European Specialist Study Grant. This grant covers airfare to and
from Europe, transportation in Europe, and lodging and board for up
to fourteen (14) days. The primary criterion for awarding the grant
is the significance and utility of the proposed project as a contribution
to the study of the acquisition, organization, or use of library materials
from or relating to Western Europe.
“The Coutts-Nijhoff Award Jury believes that Dr. Olson’s project, a
book-length study entitled "Two Libraries, Two Peoples: Die Deutsche
Bibliothek and Die Staatsbibibliothek zu Berlin since German Reunification,"
will be a very timely and useful study of the social and historical
realities of the amalgamation of East and West Germany, as expressed
in the world of the library,” said jury chair Barbara Walden.
Dr Olson will receive his plaque and 4,500 Euros at the WESS meeting
at the 2003 ALA Annual Conference in Toronto on Monday, June 23, at
8:30 a.m.
Our congratulations go to Dr Olson.
