Gay and Lesbian
Book Award:

Call for Nominations

The Gay and Lesbian Task Force of the
American Library Association is issuing
a call for nominations for its 1994 Gay
and Lesbian Book Awards. Awards are
given for both literature (long and short
fiction, poetry) and nonfiction, and are
given to books of exceptional merit re-
lating to the lesbian and gay experience.
To be eligible, a book must have been
published in calendar year 1993. Awards
are not limited to works issued by Amer-
ican publishing firms: books published
outside the United States are eligible. As
most non-English titles cannot be read
and adequately evaluated by all com-
mittee members, only titles in English
and translation are eligible for the
awards.

The awards have been given since 1971,
establishing them the oldest gay and les-
bian awards in the United States. A com-
mittee made up of librarians who are
members of the ALA Gay and Lesbian
Task Force decides each year’s winners
from a list of nominations compiled
throughout the year. Any individual or
group not affiliated or under contract
with the publisher of the book being
nominated may submit a nomination to
the Chair of the Book Awards Com-
mittee. Please send nominations to : El-
len Greenblatt, Central Technical Ser-
vices, Lockwood Library Building, State
University of New York at Buffalo, Buf-
falo, NY 14260-2200. Fax transmissions
may be sent to (716) 645-5955. E—mail
nominations may be sent to either: ul-
creg@ubvm (BITNET) , or ul-
creg@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu (INTER-
NET). A short statement describing why
the book is being nominated must ac-
company the nomination. Nominations
must be received by December 31, 1993.
Award winners will be announced in
March 1994. V
