Libraries Faculty Award

The NC State University Libraries announces the thirty-fourth annual Libraries Faculty Award. Established in commemoration of the Libraries’ centennial year in 1989, this award recognizes faculty contributions to its mission, vision, and strategic initiatives.

Providing services and resources that promote open, reproducible, and public scholarship is a strategic priority for the Libraries. This year’s award will be given to an NC State faculty member whose work consistently and notably supports the Libraries commitment to open and public scholarship.
