Virginia Tech Authors Recognition

The University Libraries, in partnership with the Provost's Office, the Office of the Vice President for Research, and Virginia Tech's chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, are co-sponsoring and coordinating the seventh annual Virginia Tech Authors Day to honor the authors' academic contributions to the university. 

The occasion will be marked by an introduction of the authors, a display of representative books, and a presentation by Tom Ewing, CLAHS,  who will discuss the book for which he was awarded Phi Beta Kappa’s 2011 Albert L. Sturm Award for Excellence in Faculty Research. A reception will follow. The event is scheduled for Thursday, February 23, 2012, at 4:30 p.m. in Newman Library. Please save this date, formal invitations with details of the event location and program will be mailed in January, 2012.

We would like to solicit your assistance in obtaining a list of books (not journal articles or book chapters) that you have authored/co-authored or edited, that have a publication date of 2011. Please send names and lists of publications to Lori Lee, secretary in the University Libraries Research and Instructional Services department, for inclusion in the event.

We request that you respond Friday December 23, 2011, to allow library staff sufficient time to compile the list and where possible secure copies of the publications not already in our collections. The compiled list will be displayed online and updated regularly,.
