ABOUT THE AWARD

Guidelines for the Trevor Zweck Award

01

An award known as the "Trevor Zweck Award" may be made at each ANZTLA annual conference.

02

The recipient should be a person who, in the opinion of the Board, has made a significant contribution to the development of theological libraries and librarianship in Australia or New Zealand in any way during the previous twelve months. Recipients need not necessarily be librarians or members of ANZTLA.

03

No person may receive the Award on more than one occasion.

04

The Board decides each year whether the award is to be conferred, after considering nominations from ANZTLA members and Chapters. The Board is free not to grant the Award if no nominations are received, or if it cannot agree on a nomination for a particular year. If more than one nomination for the award is received, then the Board may decide to confer more than one Zweck Award in the same year.
