PAM Division Award
The PAM Division Award should be given for a significant contribution to the literature of physics, mathematics, or astronomy or to honor work that demonstrably improves the exchange of information in physics, mathematics, or astronomy. The contribution should also significantly benefit libraries or enhance the ability of librarians to provide service. It should be special—above and beyond the normal job requirements or scope of work of the individual(s), group, or entity concerned.
The individual(s), group, or entity so honored need not be, but may be, an SLA/PAM member.
