Spring 2008

Established by the Reference Round Table in 1996, the Texas Reference Source Award recognizes an outstanding reference tool in Texas history, culture or commerce. "Reference tool" encompasses bibliographies, indexes, encyclopedias and other scholarly apparatus. The purpose of the award is to encourage and acknowledge truly superior accomplishments in research and scholarship. The award may be granted to a distinguished reference tool, regardless of format, published or accepted for publication within the three years immediately preceding the closing date for nominations. Selection is based on scholarship, style and contribution as a Texas reference source. The Reference Round Table's Texas Reference Source Award Committee reviews all entries and recommends a recipient to the Executive Board of the Reference Round Table. Entries must be submitted on or before May 1 of each year in order to be eligible.

An online nomination form is available on the RRT webpages.
