Call for nominations for the 2015 ASIS&T Pratt Severn Best Student Research Paper Award
This award recognizes substantive work performed by students in the field of information science and encourages research and writing. Since 1996, it has been sponsored by the Pratt Institute, School of Information and Library Science, on behalf of the late David Severn, a 1968 Pratt Alumnus.
